Matchbox renovation Merryweather Fire Engine King Size nr K-15. Diecast model toy.

The Merryweather Fire Engine is one of the iconic models, produced by Lesney since 1064 in the Regular Wheels version. In 1970, the company changed the chassis and used Superfast wheels. To display subtitles in your language at the bottom of the movie, please press C on the computer or the three dots on the mobile phone in the movie. This model was produced in red metallic for two more years. My copy was incomplete. The tires and the plastic part of the ladder were missing. The metal ladder was broken but complete. It took me a long time to stick it together. The effect obtained was good, but the ladder could only have a decorative function. I borrowed the plastic part from a friend and made a copy of FC 52 polyamide resin. I cast a wheel of polyamide dyed with black dye. I made it in a mold made of MM 940 casting silicone. I made this mold earlier when I was renewing another King Size model. I made the decals and the box compatible with the original one. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on KZfaq on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

superb restoration very time consuming with the ladders and very skilled making the spare parts looks straight from the toy shop back in the 1960,s.

Wonderful restoration. Casting the ladder was a joy to behold. Plus of course the cast is reusable, But I think it might be time to invest in a 3D printer. For the length of time it took for the ladder I think you must have the patience of a saint. Well done.

This is a very good job again, Paul 👍. I like your restored models. A small tip for repairing such a ladder or pillars of vehicle bodies: The material is suitable for hair clamps, as it is flat and so more like the original, as a round wire.

Pozdrowienia z Morza Północnego, Paul 😎🚒👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪🚒👍🏼🤠 I would say, great restoration... But in this case it was almost a new production of the model. Great work Paul, I'm impressed. As always, definitely a thumbs up for this 👍🏼. Thanks so much for sharing mate. Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Greetings from the North Sea, Paul 😎🚒👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪🚒👍🏼🤠 Ich würde ja sagen, tolle Restaurierung... Aber in diesem Fall war es ja fast schon eine Neufertigung des Modells. Tolle Arbeit Paul, ich bin beeindruckt. Wie immer, ganz klar ein Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼. Vielen Dank fürs teilen mein Freund. Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter.

@mikaelabowen5781 3 жыл бұрын

Brilliant! I love hearing that people still have their old toys. Wear and tear is a sign of a much loved toy; a badge of honour worn with pride and dignity. I, too, still have my first toy cars, some of which are now 75 years old (even the ones given to me new are heading towards 60). All have long since lost their original paint, but all remain complete and treasured. Over the past few years I have been gradually repainting them and returning them to "new". Nothing saddens me more than seeing toys (or anything!) aged only a couple of years old (or less), that have simply been broken through carelessness or brutality and discarded.

@gerhardnigl8253 3 жыл бұрын

@@mikaelabowen5781 My parents didn't have much money so the said to me "be care of it!". So I can say that I have all my cars, teddy bears, lego and so on from this time. Some of it like Lego and some cars for example in original boxes. And now, when I look at it, I rememer a wonderful childhood!

@mikaelabowen5781 3 жыл бұрын

@@gerhardnigl8253 Exactly!!! My situation was very similar - many of my things were second hand and new ones were a real treat. Like you, I too, was told to look after them - and taking care of them never meant I didn't enjoy playing with them. My cars clocked up very high mileages but were never broken. The lesson in how to care for things is a valuable one that is sadly too often not learned nowadays when "throwaway" is the norm.
