"When I ordered a 42 inch TV, I wasn't expecting a dwarf transvestite". This is the quality content I subbed for. That is the best one yet

That newspaper in the background with the 42” TV is your best yet. Nice paint job on the beard!

There is some thing so satisfying in seeing a tired old matchbox transformed into some thing beautiful.

ground breaking, nine models in one session, fascinating to watch Marty, your videos are very entertaining and informative.

My dad just came in my room and saw this crane. He said that this was his first Matchbox car he bought himself.

From Matchbox restoration to a cooking show. Very entertaining! Your poor wife having to paint 72 wheels. I hope you took her out to a nice dinner. 😄👍😄

My 10 year old son was happy to see all 9 models restored. Over the weekend we went to antique store and found matchbox snorkel fire engine 1979 truck. He did used your valuable instructions and insight to dissemble the model. Quite excited to restore someday.

Wow what an undertaking doing 9 models! Thumbs up to you and Julie for working together to achieve such great results!

An absolute pleasure to watch your videos, you are the Bob Ross of the matchbox world Marty 👍

As another commented before, a Martys Matchbox Makeover logo on the cranes that you give away would be spot on extra special!

Those cranes turned out beautifully! Great you got the wife involved as well!

Looks better than new. I like how you redo these models. Gives new life to something that otherwise would be in the bin.

I thought for a moment that you showed your 'weekend nails' on camera 💅💅💅😂😂😂

What a cool challenge. You really had to use your CRANEiium to figure out this trucking dilemma, Uhhmmm...

What a wonderful restoration! Nine times "very happy" too. Thanks for your great job, those old Matchbox models makes me remember my childhood. Greetings from Mexico City 👍

You're the Buster Keaton of KZfaq! You even do your own stunts!!! 😁👍👍👍

Nice to see your work with Sketch-Up and 3D-printing is turning out so well.

So nice of your lovely wife to give you a hand with this huge job. Kevin on the other hand is never much help. Great job!

Nine Matchboxes in one go! Guinness Book should run a category for that.

Great job again Marty. Thanks again for inspiring me to rescue all my old Matchbox models that I thought were hopeless due to damage or missing parts.

An incredible production line Marty and Julie. Lesney would've been proud of that

Your wife did an amazing job applying the tyre wash on all 72 of those wheels. Great work as always! 😀

Holy?! 9 models all in one go? You really go the extra mile for youtube Marty! Wonderful job as always! Keep it up!

These turned out very nice, great attention to detail. The printed hooks were a great idea, and a big money saver. Amazing how much tiny little pieces of aftermarket plastic can cost!

Great job! I love that varnished orange finish. Gotta admit though my guilty pleasure is reading your spray booth lining paper.

Step 1 see notification for Marty Step 2 give thumbs up Step 3 watch and enjoy video Step 4 wish I could give another thumbs up Thanks again Marty

That tabloid cover is the best one yet!

Wow, 1200 comments already. That shows what an honor it would be to own one of your restorations.

Looking great! Was interesting seeing your home production line in full operation!

its amazing how beautiful a simple matchbox truck can look when its restored. Nice job!

You've gone into the fleet supply business. Amazing production line of restorations. Your humor is the cherry on top. Thank you.

I had two of these when I was a little lad,and long lost.I found one at a flea market and in my shed it went.Thanks to your KZfaq videos you have given me the inspiration to refurbish it.👍

I think some decals depicting "Marty's Crane Service" would look great on theses cranes! Perhaps even some truck numbers "1 to 9"?

Simple fantastic. Marty, you are the best with the highest quality!

Absolutely wonderful restoration work. Well done the both of you.

What a cool makeover 👌👍 beautiful old toys 😍

Love your channel, Marty- please enter me in your drawing! Thanks so much for your dedication supplying these weekly doses of enjoyment.

Marty, I’ve commented before. Your restorations bring me back to my childhood. You do beautiful work.

Lesney was so good about doing construction equipment, allowing for a lot of imagination. Cool that you're having a drawing, too. :)

An ambitious undertaking, well executed! Nicely done, sir!

Awesome work! Sometimes seeing what the newspaper headline is can be part of the thrill!

Love the fleet of them all at the end, the colours look really sharp!! A wonderful job ⭐️

Enjoy watching you restoring matchbox car.

I am fascinated by your superior talent, your wife’s talent and patience as well.

Love your work. You have inspired me to start some diecast makeovers myself. I also appreciate that you include your airbrush troubles and fixes.

I'd love one of those cranes. They all came out perfect!! You've got your own FLEET of cranes! That headline with the dwarf transvestite had me dying!! 😄

As always, Marty delivers a brief respite of tranquility with his zen-like routine. Lots of love from Los Angeles California!!!

Unbelievable that you pulled off nine, they are all fantastic

9 in one go🤪😜🤪 Only you could do that Marty.

wowsers..thats the same one I used to play with as a child and what made me want to be a heavy equipment operator as an adult...(which I am)..spot on as you brits say..cheers..

Thanks for sharing your hobby with us. And nice save with the top coat.

Magnificent. I have one my grandmother gave me in 1969. Your restorations are superior to the factory made. I am inspired to use my drafting skills to preserve our past. Bravo.

Hi Marty, a Jib is the the bit that the hook fits to, also the Jib has one or two wheels where the main crane ropes go upto the main lifting crane arm, i was a crane driver at Toyota for 25 years hope this helps. Great video's, Mr Bourne.

Fantastic Marty! Love your videos. Green and orange remind me of my country’s flag, Ireland 🇮🇪

Well done. Another great makeover. I'm watching these with my 5 year old son. We love it. Watched every video.

You done well there Marty. Nine great restorations.

Love it when you do the silly sketches with Kevin at the end and the bloopers are funny too.

So That's where my dwarf transvestite got to! As a former Army crane operator I approve of this video.

I’d love a Marty’s matchbox makeover original! Very kind of you

Such spectacular results! Nine models, and not a clinker in the lot

You never fail to crack me up every time with your tabloid stories! 🤣😂🤣 (The added beard & mustache 17:32 is the cherry on top!.. lol)

Your videos are the best. You’re making me want Matchbox cars again.

For these mass builds, a vibratory tumbler with fine media would be ideal for cleaning and polishing your parts. A real time saver.

"I make it look easy....." 👍 Yes, you do. And we enjoy watching! 😎 I've been using Tamiya Clear Gloss on my styrene kit car model bodies. Very nice! Tried the gloss floor finish like certain YT model channels show but had literally spotty results.

i get the greatest kick out of the news paper head lines in your paint booth in very build you do lol keep up the amazing work

I honestly have no idea why i watch these videos, i have no interest in matchbox yet love these videos

Nice work, Marty. You always manage to make the trash look like treasure.

Outstanding work Marty, a real Matchbox production line there 👍

I love the airbrushed beard in the newspaper! Would be honored to own one of your models!

The correct name for the metal bits from the drilling is swarf.

That definitely looked like it took a while to do every one of the models. Worth it in the end since they look brand new!

Lovely job on these! I'm sure about halfway in the task must have seemed overwhelming, but thankfully your Loving Wife stepped in to save the day. Would be honored to have on of these here in the USA!

Finally!!! Was going cold turkey waiting for Marty. Life is good!

Bloody hell Marty I struggle to get one video of a single model out per week, let alone nine!

Another great video Marty packed with skill, patience and humour. Great to see Diane getting involved too. Didn’t know she was from England 👍

Excellent work by your wife once again! I would love to have one of those for my shelf.

blimey, so many - it's like the Lesney factory in Hackney!

Enjoy your programme sorting out my old toys from the 1950s you have inspired me

My 4 year old would love one of these gems. They look amazing.

This is one of your longer videos, but it didn’t feel long. I just love watching you (and your wife) restore these old toys. Thanks!

Love your work Marty, keep it up! Cheers!

I didn’t expect for you to be restoring nine of them Marty! Would be delighted to have one.

One of my favourite castings...fantastic restoration(s) 👍

Hello Marty. Love watching your makeovers. Brings back so many memories of Matchbox trucks I had as a kid, to include this one. I only wish I still had them all.

Awesome job Marty! They all turned out really nice..keep up the great work!

my wife is a big Kevin and outtake fan, I love your work

22.24....Quite the shot. Fair play Marty, and to Julie too.

I would love to have one of your fleet. So glad they are restored to their factory spec.

Great work Marty & Julie you make a great team, love the videos please keep it up.

Had ya work cut out there mate , but all credit to you and Julie , they all came out great 👍🇳🇿

I really liked the multiple build. It was almost like being in the factory back in the day. Regards, Solomon

The production line helped speed things up for you. It was a shame about the flat paint but the colour seems perfect.

Marty, on a mobile truck crane, a jib is a pin on boom extension for extra reach, it is removable for transportation length limits, keep up the great work you're doing,

Those are amazing they look really nice I like them

Brilliant work Marty, Love the consistency you get across all 9 Cranes, absolutely outstanding. thought you'd had your Nails done (again) for a second!

Top job on this restoration not once but nine times over , would be more than happy with one in my collection

Nice that you've developed your "procedures" or you would have had a helluva time mass renovating "9" individual models. And, having a lovely sheila as a helper, nice job Julie!!

Nice work! Very well done! I enjoy your channel very much. And I see Kevin is up to his usual shenanigans. Thanks for sharing!

Great assembly line work, Marty and Julie! We’re all happy with that 😁
