I've had half of this model for quite a while, so long in fact that I have forgotten who it came from. When the second trailer, which was missing, arrived last week I knew it was time for a 'Major Pack' makeover! - Here it is, I hope you like it. Watch until the end to see Kevin's destructive side once again!.

For my 8th birthday I was given a road train but I'm sure that the tractor unit was blue and the trailers were box trailers. It was 60 years ago so the memory is a little fuzzy. You have great patience Marty and it's a pleasure to see, again, these vids from your back catalogue. I'm looking forward to many new ones now that you are back after the move.

Hi Marty,,in 1968 I drove a 1966 GMC ( Jimmy ") 7000 , and was " identical to your cab,,It had a Detroit Diesel engine with a 10 speed transmission. It was red with a white grill. This brings back a bit of my younger years and my passion for Matchbox Truck's , Thank you for a great video.

Happy Day! A very nice one here Marty. Riveting. I find it hard to describe the easy peaceful feeling your voice & that low hypnotizing music creates. Nice addition of your local Hobby Shop. You should have a selection of air brushes Marty. Just to compare & experience. Many range around $100.00 dollars. Good ones up in the 2, 300 dollar range. But, remember that the higher priced air brushes are geared toward "Graphic Air Brushing" on paper using inks. Over kill for scale hobbies. My 90 dollar Paashe H model is a very used & old dependable friend.

For the lumpy spray paint, some people suggest leaving the can into hot water before (as hot as your hand can stand) and that helps making the paint flow a little better. Of course you have to use absobant paper to remove any water near the zozzle to avoir getting drops of water. Kept up the good work !

Pedí por correo dos vehículos de Matchbox y en esta semana los recibiré con su caja original, espero mostrárselos .En el buen sentido de la palabra le envidio de su magnífica colección que tiene .Un saludo muy grande desde España.

@batwillow 4 жыл бұрын

I've discovered that I can decant spray cans into bottles and then I can use that paint from my airbrush. Useful tip to get the primer out when the pressure has gone. I also have a thin bit of plastic with a hole in it to place over the axle ends so my grinding does not touch the hubs. Hope that helps, all the best Will... by the way, That was a stunning model !

Works great. Have used it myself. Have to let the propellant gas out otherwise can be a mess when pouring into a jar. Can crack the bottles too.

@@captainsergeant How ,? I have a load of rattle cans where the gas has gone but the product exists, are they still pressured or can I shove a thin straw/ WD40 end extension in one to drain the product?

@BigLisaFan 4 жыл бұрын

To make sure there is no propellant, turn them upside down and depress the nozzle. When done, turn it right side up, use a small drill bit and drill a hole. After cut the top off with a cutting wheel. Let sit for 24 hours, mix the paint up and pour into a paint jar and you are done. Have some paper handy in case it bubbles over but you should be ok.

@captainsergeant 4 жыл бұрын

@@highpath4776 Two ways: You can do what Clare Ravenwood has suggested, which is the safest and probably the best way...or you can do it the super messy way: spray the paint in an airbrush glass paint container! Wear gloves, expect a mess, but you'll get the paint you need.

Only $11,000!!! Kevin let you off easy! At least he wasn't off firing missiles this time and almost starting World War Three!! If Kevin is having trouble seeing over the steering wheel, and reaching the pedals, have him sit on some old phone books or encyclopedias, and attach wooden blocks to the pedals with hose clamps or duct tape. Once he gets moving, if he learns to "match the Revs", he won't have to use the clutch.

Marty, I just recently got an ultrasonic cleaner as well. I saw a video on keeping it clean. Get a sealable container that will fit inside your cleaner. Put cleaner solution and parts inside the container, put that inside your ultrasonic cleaner, then fill it to the full mark with just water. Cleaner solutions and dirt stay in the smaller container. Less clean up, less cleaner solution. And the ultrasonic cleaner tank stays clean.
