MATCHBOX Restoration No 29c Fire Pumper Truck 1966

This video is about the restoration of the matchbox no.29c Fire Pumper Truck, these were first manufactured in 1966. This one I acquired in a job lot I bought on ebay for a few bucks, it would not make a very good fire engine as it was missing its ladder and some very important suction hoses.
These were unavailable to purchase online and therefore I had to make my own by experimenting with my 3D printer. This makeover is unique in that I modified the original vehicle to include a flashing blue beacon on the roof of the cabin, there are instructions on how I did this at the end of the video.

For my wife on one birthday a few years ago, I bought her a model of her favorite dream car of all time, an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage V12 in mendip blue (the same car used in the Johnny English films)..... then took her to a "private" showroom to allow her to drive one, she was so happy about that UNTIL, the car dealer refused to take the keys back and I told her it was her car. Good job the Aston Martin workshop where the car was first built and now serviced regularly is only ten miles from us, and they always invite us to their functions and car releases, the present that keeps giving. This Christmas, she is getting a Corgi Hillman Imp in racing green that I have refurbished (your fault Marty !), We had that car when we were first dating 38 years ago. Perhaps she might forgive me for stealing the tweezers, toothbrush and now the other brushes. No chance of her buying my favorite car for me, a corvette sting ray !

I’m the same way. Just stumbled across this through a vague interest in vintage toys and military models. Your videos have this calming zen quality to them and have become my favorite and most effective stress relief. Sent my wife a link and she basically said the same, that she couldn’t stop watching and found the vid very satisfying. Same with my kids who could care less about this kind of thing in general but love watching along with me. I guess you are Australia’s answer to Bob Ross. Btw, this is your best work so far. Both from a technique standpoint and the general ‘Martyness’ of it. Thanks so much!!!!

That crack actually makes the window look like it has a post in the middle. I kinda like the effect That sculpt looks rather stunningly detailed, unpainted though. Lights in small cars are always cool and the firetruck is big enough to accommodate that massive battery holder.

I actually have this fire truck at home. As a kid I removed the hose bed, and I don't remember if the ladder or suction hose was on it at the time or not. I am saddened to learn that replacement parts are unavailable for them. It's a semi-pleasure to see what I might have had if I hadn't been so destructive as a child. Thanks for posting this Marty, you did a great job.
