MATCHBOX Restoration No. 7A Horse drawn Milk Float
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 січ 2022
- This model was a steal at $1 AUD. I had to get a reproduction horse and drawbar but the end result speaks for it's self. This 1953 model is going to make a fantastic addition to my Matchbox collection!

So happy to hear “I’m happy with that” again ! Missed you Marty ! You truly are a tried and tested method. How about a tour of the new place ?
Amazing how much we've all missed hearing that hey
I agree 100%
me too
I was just about to comment that.
Sounds good 👌
Now that Marty is back, the universe is back in allignment. What a lovely start to 2022. Best wishes to you Marty and the family for helping us through life and lockdown with your videos. There is a lot of love out there for you...
So glad to see you again and read in the paintbooth background that you have "Nine Lives", and you haven't lost your juggling skills during the move and kept your "Balls Up!" (Which is not easy to do when you move as you get older!)
God Bless All your family, and all in your new home!
Welcome back. We’ve missed your vids, but appreciate your priorities. I’m so glad you’re now settled and can give us some more makeovers. There’s no party without Marty.
MARTY!! We’ve missed you so much! It’s great to see you again. This video was worth the wait & continues the great content you’re know for. Looking forward to future videos. Once again it’s good to have you back. Say hi to Julie!
Welcome back Marty. You've been missed. I concur with "Dung Trumpet" re the dry brushing technique for the raised lettering. I use it a lot when I am painting miniature figures.
God ! I am old enough to remember the horse drawn milk floats I remember the milkman walking by the float while the horse would walk on its own and stop when needed ,good old days .
My wife has discovered the wonderful world. of Marty's Matchbox Makeovers and will be thrilled that you are back. I've really missed your videos. Congratulations on your retirement.
I am so glad to see you vlogging again. 1954 I was two years old at that time and my Gran gifted me this model. I still own it and it has remained in it's box even to this day.
WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME BACK MARTY!!! WE'VE ALL MISSED YOU AND YOUR VIDS!!!
Hope you, Julie and the family are and have been keeping well and staying safe 🙂👍🏻
Welcome back to one of the VERY few channels I subscribed to! I think I speak for many when I say your energy, positive attitude, and soft spoken but friendly demeanor not to mention your awesome restos were sorely missed.
My seven year old grandson Liam will be happy you have returned. And grandpa, as well!
Unlike my dad, he is back.
Great to see you again Marty! I was going through "MWS" - "Marty Withdrawal Syndrome". Love the beard too; I've grown one just like it over the past year or so (boredom does strange things to people). Cheers to all and best wishes from Sugar Land, Texas, in the U.S.A.
Perfect Sunday morning. Hot cup of coffee and a MMM video.
I cant believe I actually have one of these.
My father started collecting these back in the early 50s.
I have a bunch more that sit on my hobby shelf.
Nice to see someone like you who preserves great memories.
Interesting model. Good to see you back Marty! Retirement's the best job I ever had (and I'm very good at it!). Hopefully you'll find the same thing! Stay well.
Welcome back Marty and thank you for doing another makeover you've been so missed on UA-cam please keep your matchbox makeovers videos coming as it brings me so joy to watch them. Again please keep them coming. Looking forward to seeing the next makeover video 👍
Beautiful model. And rare too. Beautifully restored as always. Walcome back Marty! I've been worried about you. It's great that You're back! Great news for all the matchbox fans!
Yay! Welcome back! Happy to see your thumbs and hear your voice again! Your videos have been a great bonding time for me and my son. Hope to continue the tradition for years to come!
As far as imperfections in the detail paint, the original toys were sent out to housewives, etc. who did the detail painting by hand. So, I am sure the results varied quite a bit from model to model. Glad to see you back and I will be looking forward to seeing more from you.
Marty nice to see you back. love the model. A side note: This is a hint I got from my grandfather nearly 40 years ago. Those side cutters you use to cut the axles, to keep the bit you cut off from going sproing and shooting across the room. Take the cutter and use some tape on the handle to keep them closed. Then take some silicone (I use clear but it doesnt matter) and fill the cutting head area and let dry. Once dry, remove the tape and use a razor blade to cut the silicone down the center so you can open the jaws. Once done you will have a cutting cutting edge with silicone filling the gaps. Then when you cut wires or axles, the silicone will grab the piece as you cut it, preventing it from shooting across the room. Works wonders and prevents those late night bare foot punctures. LOL
I'm glad the master is back!
Marty the theme to your videos and your voice puts me in such a happy place! Welcome back, you’ve been missed.
Beautiful!! I am surprised you didn’t use the super glue with baking soda for the harness!
Good to see you again! And what a joy it was to hear you say:
"I'm happy with that."
Great result on a Lesney model that I never knew existed.
Nice one. 👍👍👍
Welcome back, Marty! We certainly have missed you, but your priorities are spot on. Happy Retirement! What a brilliant little model, nice job.
I’m glad your back and enjoy your retirement and your magnificent hobby
Great to see ya back Marty. I have never seen this model before. Great restoration. Will be nice to see you back regularly. Hope you and the wife are doing well. Take care.
For the raised letters for the "Pasteurised Milk", Marty, try looking up the "dry-brushing" technique. It's what I used to use to highlight details and instrument panels on my model airplanes 30+ years ago.
Glad to see you back Marty. Stay happy and healthy in your retirement.
Thanks for returning, Marty! Love you, Buddy!!!
Great to have you back, Marty! My wife and I really missed you (and Kevin too, hope to see him next time!). What a beautiful job you did on the model!
Welcome Back Marty! I cannot believe that I truly missed someone from the other side of the world who fixes matchbox cars 😅. But it's great to hear that everything is good 👍
Marty, Thank God You Are Back!! Gr8 restoration, Thanks to Julie for her negotiation skills
Back in the saddle lad! Great to see and hear from you again. Hope you’ve checked your moving boxes to make sure a certain pesky bear hasn’t stowed away!
2022 surely is going to be a fantastic year because Marty´s calming voice is out there again. But (and I don´t want to spoil your enthusiasm) did you really not notice that the draw bar has to be attached straight to the cabin? You should have ground off the remains of the old bar so that it is in line with the underside and the front wheels can touch the ground
MART3YS VERZION IS THE BESTSsSss!!!11!!21!
Welcome back Marty!
Good to see your back making videos! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
See happy to see you again! Mahalo for this video. Let "I'm happy with that!" ring out anew!
Good to see you again Marty! When soldering ya need to have more heat on the harness and buggy, without it you make what's known as a cold solder joint. You can heat it up a few times and try to reflow the solder, just add a bit more flux. I know you are worried about melting the cart but you have a bigger temp window than you think. I also think the leftover harness should have been ground off the buggy and the new one attached to the edge of the buggy. Thank you again for the videos, we've missed you!
Great to see you back, doing Matchbox again. Incredible to think this model is almost 70 years old. I was surprised the Polystripper struggled. I use it too, but I have not yet restored a Matchbox this old.
Great that you're back Marty and have time for your hobby again. Surprised you never called the little man Ernie, because he drove the fastest milk cart in the west 😁
Glad to have you back. Beautiful job
It is SO great to see you back again Marty! :) We have all missed you a lot!
The Milk Float turned out wonderfully! :)
Welcome back Marty!! You did an amazing job on this model, considering what it looked like to start with missing parts and all, Julie made a great find and it will go great with the collection, you should take it back to the store and show the lady who sold it what it looks like now, perhaps she'll give you one of those .50 cent pieces back...lol again great to have you back the room looks great and as always looking forward to your next restoration.
Iam so happy that you retired and found such nice home in the country .I can't wait to see more of the cars you will be doing next .
Congratulations on your retirement and new home in the country! Missed your videos and glad your back Marty!! The old Matchbox milk horse and trailer came out incredible
VERY happy to see a new excellent video from you, Marty! It really is good that you have the time to get on with your hobby and share some of the process with us, thanks!
I had a thought about the soldering that might be worth some testing for you: it might be a bit easier and end up looking a bit better if you were to flux the pieces you need to join, then instead of applying the solder like you are soldering wires together, cut quite short lengths of the solder and place them where as close to the join as you can (this may require holding the two parts so that the tiny bits of solder won't roll away from the join before you've heated the parts) and once the solder is placed then start applying heat. The solder should flow where you need it to when the parts are hot enough.
The finished model you shared with us definitely came out great and watching the video was time well spent, thank you!
My thoughts exactly. It also looked like the heat wasn’t quite enough to make the solder flow.
@@android01978 It is probably a VERY fine line between enough heat to solder with and a puddle of melted matchbox so I am honestly impressed with how it turned out.
He’s returned! It’s been too long, can’t wait to see what you have in store for the channel!
So glad to see you back!!! I am happy all is well at the new house, but even happier to see you back on UA-cam.
Marty’s back! We’re happy with that 😁
At last! :)
It's a great pleasure to finally see you again, Marty! Your videos are interesting and informative, as much as funny. I really missed them.
By the way, how is Kevin? Did he follow you in your move, or did he decide to stay in Melbourne? Hope to see this rascal again soon!
Take good care of yourself.
Maybe Kevin was accidentaly left Home Alone ;)
@@dexter1981 Well, whe can see in the next video that Marty and his wife took Kevin with them. If they had left him Home Alone, with Kevin the fate of any thieves trying to enter the house would have been much worse than that of the thieves in the film!
Oh, great. My kids are gonna be happy that you are sharing again, Marty.
This is a really interesting one at that.
Happy for both of us you can do your hobby again.
I learned since retirement, working is overrated 😀
Great to have you back Marty, hope you’re enjoying country life.
*****Oh my god!!! Welcome back Marty… You are entitled to sort the things that happen in your life… family first!!! That said crack on!! I am gasping for some MMM!!! Seriously lovely to have you back ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad on your return Time Rider has kept us Occupied. 😜😍
So pleased you are back on UA-cam Marty, I hope you are happy in your new home
Hi ya Marty. I concur with all the other comments. It’s very nice to have you back. I look forward to you being completely back up to speed. Kevin and all. Hi Julie. Beautiful restoration, as always. See ya Marty. Next time.
It is good to have you back. I have really missed your videos. Enjoy your retirement.
Happy to have you on screen again. 😊
Welcome back, Marty - you've been missed! Another great makeover video. My mother, who was born in the 1930s, says she remembers these horse-drawn milk carts. I think they continued in use in some places up to the 1960s when they were replaced by electric milk floats.
So happy your back at it Marty! We all missed your makeover videos!
Welcome back Marty. I sincerely missed your videos, my life is complete once again.
great to see you back Marty sorely missed during this dreadful pandemic
