Model Restorations Plus!
United States
Приєднався 13 гру 2022
Model Restorations Plus, showcases restored models from AMT, Revell, Monogram, MPC and others that have been left for dead or forgotten in an attic or garage.
While I mainly concentrate on muscle cars of the 30s to late 70s we will occasionally throw in a Boat, Military plane or even a few 80's vehicles. I also go more into detail in the videos showing restoring Tips and tricks.
I'm also occasionally customize Diecast cars and trucks from Hotwheels, Matchbox and others.
Changing wheels, adding roll bars, painting. Pretty much what we do with our models.
Thank you for Visiting!

Vintage Kit Review - Tommy Ivo's "SHOWBOAT" 4 Engine dragster
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 місяці тому
Before this kit I had never heard of Tommy Ivo. Surprisingly he played a big roll in Showmanship Drag Racing while also helping Dragsters care not just about performance. But the quality and look of the dragster. Tommy Ivo was a child actor turned drag racer as he got older. Among others, he starred in the hit movie from 1964 "Bikini Beach" which also starred his dragster the "Showboat". The "S...

Hi
Hello Joasa.
Model building for kids went well into the 1980's, but when the computers started coming in you could see the end was near.
For sure. So many competing things for time as we got more and more technology advanced. I often wonder how long our beloved hobby will last into the future. Thank you for watching and commenting!
❤
Thanks for watching!
@@modelrestorations saudações aqui do Brasil e amo miniaturas abcs
My favorite model kits were Monogram. MPC were a close second. Revel models tended to be poorly made.
As a kid my building was fast and furious. I dont think I worried about quality 🙂
The history of model kits is interesting thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Jeff!
I was always a fan of the MPC models. They just seemed to be better moldings somehow. I'd love to build all those cars over again today.
You and me both! Although the early ones I never did build. I agree the MPC kits were typically a little more detailed. Thanks for watching!
Great video
Thank you!
I recently bought some old model kits from eBay. Hobby Lobby also has reissue model kits with the original box art as well.
Thanks for watching Frank. I've tried so many times with eBay and always lose. I think I'm too cheap! 😃
Video was very good. The chat-bot sounding narrator needs to be kicked to the curb!!
Thanks for watching! I couldn't agree more. I hate using it. Unfortunately, my narration voice sucks. I'm working on it though.... 😀
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks mars!
Thank you for this well done and informative presentation! Now in my 70s, I remember the 'Golden Age' of plastic model kits so very well. Starting out in the late 50s, I entered the hobby building model planes, boats, tanks, and military models. I spent every dollar of my allowance money as well as money earned from my paper route at local hobby shops buying the latest and the greatest from AMT, Jo-Han, MPC, Revell, Lindberg, Hawk, Monogram, and Aurora. Later I graduated to building model cars as my skills increased and I started using Testor's and Pactra spray paints to paint the bodies and other parts. Learning how to 'wire' the ignition of engines with my Mom's sewing thread, my car models won local model shows at area hobby shops for their attention to detail. Even though this great hobby no longer enjoys the immense popularity it once had, I still continue to build models albeit with the help of magnifying glasses and like magnifying apparatus. Today's kids don't know what they are missing!
Thank you for watching and the wonderful story! Do you still have your old builds? I started in the 70s and would also spend every dollar I had. I usually got the most money from recycling my grandpa's beer cans. Lol. He drank a lot of Pabst blue ribbon. (Horrible beer!) 😀
Had one of the roadster kits. It was essentially an unassembled pull along toy it it launched the beginning of what we know today.
No mention of Aurora. This wasn't very informative.
I concentrated on model car companies that shaped the model CAR hobby and not companies that Delved into other things like airplanes, slot cars, figures, and 1/32 car models. I will have an additional video soon showcasing Aurora and some of the other lesser known model companies Like Ideal. Thanks for watching and commenting.
No mention of Moebius,Atlanits,Lindberg,Tamiya or Maisto either...
@tomtbi I am currently working on another video that will cover those companies. I really just wanted to concentrate on the main model companies that produced car models as their main model kits in the US. Of course, Jo-Han was the exception in this video. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay tuned, I plan to roll out the new video in a month, depending on time available.
@@modelrestorations Thanks!!. Looking forward to it...
Shithot looking models mate
Thanks David!
How Could You Not Mention The Outlaw!?! It's Still Sold To This Day, 60 Years Later. How Many Of These Other Kits Can Say That? Thank You.
Its in there towards the middle to end? I love that kit as well. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@@modelrestorations I Watched It All The Way Through Again & I Don't See Anything About Big Daddy Ed Roth's Outlaw By Revell. Thank You. (Like #126)
@thewatcher5271 Sorry, you are correct😮. It's in the 1st version I did. I cut out a bunch to get it from 13 minutes down to 7.
Very interesting and informative video, enjoyed 😉 👍 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🌨🌨🏔🏔❄️❄️🦘🦘
Thank you for watching!
Very cool video 😎👍
Thank you 👍
Very interesting information. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this informative chapter on the state of our car model hobby, cheers.
Thank you for watching!
Lots of good info in an entertaining format thank you
Thank you for watching!
I get most of brand new kits from Revell and AMT locally. For used kits off the internet, most of them are Monogram, MPC, and Lindberg. Nice to know more about the American model kit makers. : )))
Thanks so much for watching! Most of my new are contingent on what hobby lobby has at the time 😀
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the history lesson! 👍
Thank you for watching!
Narration makes this video unwatchable. Rayvale?
Thanks for watching and Commenting Rick.
Very informative. I learned a lot from this. Did your narrator work pro bono? 😉
He did. 😅 he came highly recommended.
Thank you so much for the info it's always good to know your history 👍🏿
Thanks for watching. I find the history to be somewhat fascinating.😊
If any of the info is incorrect please let me know down in the comments. To see a more in depth History of Model cars check out this video ua-cam.com/video/6T51m4uFHPY/v-deo.html Thank you!
Bro, you came back strong with a great build. I started modeling again during the pandemic to not get bored. Since then, I've built 22 models and counting.
Thanks man! Yea its been a blast since coming back into the hobby. My passion has turned into restoring glue 💣 and left for dead models. I still have and build new ones but love taking something that is junk and creating new art from it.
Great video. Awesome builds. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Very nice builds from everyone. They definitely look the part for sure 😊
Tjanks David. I think so too!
Very imaginative work there.
Thanks!
Very cool builds ❤😊
Thank you!
Thank you for doing this Group Build. I had a great time. And this is a great video. I will pass it on. Super Group of builder's. I hope you are feeling better and enjoying your new house 🤜🤛🐭
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks so much for joining in!
Very cool Mad Max vehicles from all the entrants. Unfortunately I'm a notoriously slow builder so I cannot participate in all the group builds that I would like to. But I would really like to build one of these some day. Thanks for hosting.
Start now for next year! 😊 thanks for watching!
Absolutely brilliant builds by all very cool video 📹 😎 👍 👌 🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🏔🏔🦘🦘
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! I had a lot of fun participating in this group build!👍
Glad to hear it man. You nailed it! 👏
@modelrestorations thank you!
Nice video, thanks for the shoutouts.
You bet, Mars! Thanks so much for participating! You had an awesome build!
Enjoy the video and I’m a die-cast collector since childhood
Thank you! I appreciate that. I'm a semi diecast nut too. I swing back and forth. Still have a large collection of redlines and older BW.
Nice
“If you’ve ever been too drunk to fish!” That was my grandpa, for sure.
Hahahah, mine too! Although I don't know how he got drunk...he drank Pabst blue ribbon. Nasty 🍺 🍻
The robot voice is not good. Otherwise information is great
Thank you for the feedback Jason. I very much agree! I dont normally use AI voice but at the time i had a bad cold so I went with it.
Fantastic builds, the gto is killer!
Thanks so much!
