Haha, thanks man! 😉She's wonderful!

Thanks! That's what I'm going for ;-)

Thanks for the advice. I kinda forgot to do it the other way around, indeed.

Hehe, I had to cut quite a few of them in the audio part 😅

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Thanks, Sandy! Glad you like it!

Thanks, man! 😎

Don't decide, just watch and enjoy ;-) Thanks!

Thanks 😉

Thanks, Nick! 😉

Hehe, thanks and have fun!

Me or the Matchbox? 😂

Thanks, Nathan!

Thanks! It's fun to see what everyone does around one theme. Glad you like mine!

Haha, she was all around my computer while recording. She's always looking for me when I'm talking so she regularly turnes up in the audio recording :)

At least she stays away from the painting. My cat would get up and rub against the truck with wet paint on it.

Haha, didn't experienced that before 😂

Thanks!

Thanks and no problem! Glad to have you in the co-op!

Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Well thanks! It was a challenge but it came out nice.

Thanks John! Glad you like the series ;-)

Thanks!

Thanks, Char! Nice to hear people are liking our co-op.

Matchbox never sold in Korea? If you want to get some there are always many Matchbox for sale on ebay. Look for "job lots". You can get many Matchbox from one seller for a cheaper price than single pieces.

Thank u bro~

Thanks Val! Greetings from Belgium!

Thanks, Ian!

Thanks, Martin! I do my best ;-)

Thanks! All in all it turned out quite nice indeed.

Thanks, Mik!

Thanks! We don't see it as a competition really, but I understand that people will compare :-)

Thanks, Elijah!

Thanks, Robert!

Haha, a whole 5 extra! Whohooo! The color needed a bit more "brightness" indeed. I blame the X-7... I might need to look for another kind of red to get the bright looking orange.

Thanks, Alexander!

Haha, she's the star... 😂

Yes, you are right. Although it's not uncommon to find them in this configuration in original state, it's true that I put them on differently than they were at first. Good observation!

I think the green ones just faded through the years into a greyish looking tread. These newer ones look a lot greener indeed.

Thank you, Steve!

Thanks! Great to hear you like it!

Thanks for the great advice. I have done this the other way around too many times now... I have to try and remember it :)

Thanks Derrick! It was a gamble that turned out okay! A bit hard to get to all the spots, though...

Thanks, Paul!

Hehe, yeah, it's quite hard to get to all the spots. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you very much! Have a nice day!

Good price for these models! That's why it's fun to work on them. They don't cost a fortune.

Thank you, Glenn!

Ja, het is alweer een jaartje geleden... Ik heb alles nog liggen, maar de motivatie om er terug aan te beginnen is momenteel even zoek. :-)

@@MatchboxRestoration .. Ik weet het. Ik zit momenteel zonder werk en zonder geld. Heerlijk, die slapeloze nachten......... |-( Ik kom af en toe gewoon eens even kijken. Ik wacht gewoon af.

Merci!

stephen hughes I have another video on that. Check the tutorial video on how to make the axle tool 😉👍

I'm fine, thanks. Just couldn't find the time anymore to restore and create the videos. Maybe I'll pick it up in the future. Have a nice day!

Thanks, Tony!

I'm okay, don't worry. Just taking a break. Thanks for asking, Val ;-)

@@johnm.5848 Haha, thanks John. When the motivation returns, so will I. Thanks for the kind words!

Do you mean the part where I put the wheels on to paint them? That’s some kind of styrofoam.

cassax67 I’m taking a break. These videos take about 8-10 hours time to make and took over my entire week 😅 I hope to pick it up again soon.

I was about to say something, but I'm glad someone addressed it. It's been too long since this guy restored anything, and I was concerned thinking a talented restorer had thrown in the towel on us.

Sorry, due to limited time I'm taking a break. It takes about 10h+ from start to finish to get these restored and I currently don't have the time to do that. Thanks for the message!

good thing it was dead before he started. What a horrible way to go, even for a bug.

Yeah, the jar was standing outside for a couple of days. No animal was hurt during the recording of the video 😅

@@scottgm321 I don't care who you are, that there is funny!

Chally Ho I’m ok, man. Thanks! But I took a break because the videos took a lot of time to make. Maybe I’ll pick it up again. 😅

Matchbox Restoration ok cool,real life gets in the way sometimes stay safe

I e-mailed him a couple months ago about a co-op, but didn't got a reply.

I understand, it was a fun one to repaint though :)

Who loves working anyway, right? 😂

Matchbox Restoration true !!! Hahahah

They didn't use acrylic paint either. You're right about that. I try to bring them back in the same same look as they came in originally basically.
