In a book Savage Continent by Keith Lowe, there were stories about orphan children in Germany having a blast after WWII. It was horrible most of the time, but sometimes kids would play games others would dream about. For example, they were trying their luck avoiding mines in minefields, playing with leftover military equipment or even put an unexploded bomb into fire once. I wonder how they lived to tell a story, but some people have fond memories of after war (non)childish games.
I'm surprised that you don't know about using lemon juice for secret writing. Maybe Kevin's keeping you in the dark on that one. Also lemon juice gives an extra tang to white fish and it is often used in tea instead of milk.
Yep, I agree. What a great resource to have in your garden, and planted it yourself. I'm jealous Marty.😁 While I completely agree about using the juice on pancakes(with homemade raspberry jam) lemon juice has h̷̵̷u̷̵̷n̷̵̷d̷̵̷r̷̵̷e̷̵̷d̷̵̷s̷̵̷ thousands of uses; there are whole websites devoted to it. Quite apart from cooking, it will clean loads of different things too.
@@2H80vids It seems that "White Spirit" (UK) or Mineral Spirits (North America) or Mineral Turpentine (Australia, NZ) works well too. Now, why can't all the English speaking world agree on the term for this liquid?
Dinky Toys was the brand name for a range of die-cast zamac zinc alloy miniature vehicles produced by Meccano Ltd. They were made in England from 1934 to 1979, at a factory in Binns Road in Liverpool.
Yes, the default pancake is quite different in the US. Growing up in England, the pancake is more like a crepe as Clare says with sugar and lemon juice. Delicious!
Hi Marty, besides Matchbox models I had a number of Dinkys as well. I had the sixties model of this truck and the tipper mechanism was of course great fun in the sandbox. I was born in 1953, so my childhood was in the haydays of Matchbox. So good to see my old toys on your channel.
Hi Marty. This is just a guess, but the baseplate with the tabs was probably made with a deep-draw type of steel. It's a very low-carbon steel which is soft for bending. Tin cans are made from similar stuff, designed for easy machining with a punch press. If you want to be certain that the tabs don't crack when you re-bend them, heat them up to a dull red with a small torch and let them cool down slowly. This will re-anneal the steel (anneal=soften). Sorry, I was a blacksmith for years and it's not often that the experience is useful. Best, BG
Phosphoric Acid....great for removing rust from metal, I use the product Rustex, but you can buy pure phosphoric acid and dilute it with water...good stuff.
There was also an olive green rubbish collector that could tip and with two sliding hatches on one side based on the same truck. What a lovely model this is and I think it is one of your best restorations yet.
Marty, the rust converters convert them rust (Ferric Oxide) into Ferric Tannate or Ferric Phosphate depending on the chemicals in the rust converter solution. They also provide a polymer (plastic) agent to prep the surface of the converted metal ready for good primer adhesion.
Nice job, Marty! You might want to look into switching to blasting soda instead of the garnet, it's much kinder to the metal. Garnet can erode pot metal if you are not careful.
Great job Marty, I used to use a sand blaster weekly when I was In the United States Air Force. Basically was Rosie the riveter in the service. Really enjoyed airframe work. Now diecast restoration/customizing is my passion. Love the restoration and the fact you left the casting details, keeping it original
My grandfather had one of these( the real lorry that is). My father tells me that the engine was a 2.8 straight 6 overhead valve. The same engine was used in Vauxhalls big cars then. All he knows about the gearbox is that it was straight cut (not synchromesh) 4 speed. I'm also told that my grandfather modified his by putting a "helper" leaf under the top main leaf on the rear suspension and added an extra board round the top of the body which created 1 extra sq.yd. So it was now a 5sq. Yarder and 1sq yd of wet sand weighs 1.25 tons. So 5x 1.25 is 6.25tons. The lorry itself weighed 3 tons so that little 2.8 petrol engine pulled nearly 10 tons and without overhaul, his first Bedford ( which was stolen ) did 110,000 miles . Not bad for a oldie!!

Nice wee blast cabinet Marty, like some other commenters I would source a less abrasive blast media than garnet. Baking soda would probably work best, get the proper blasting type, fine glass bead may be ok, walnut shell and rouge as used in the aviation industry will also work. Some testing is in order, the garnet is too harsh on the zinc alloy. The blasted metal needs through cleaning, hot soapy water then the solvent of choice.
Marty - BEAUTIFULLY DONE! This model is one year younger than I am! Absolutely love it! Great finishes, very well done! Thank you so much for this project, very entertaining!
Another cracking restoration Marty, looks excellent. I was wondering if any of your UK viewers know of an effective alternative for Poly Strippa, as it's unavailable in the UK. It seems that you Aussie chaps can be trusted to handle such materials but we can't. Nitromors used to be an effective stripper, but now it has all the stripping qualities of skimmed milk!.
I know this is an old video. But, I'm just now finding it. From one toy restorer to another. I like mine bigger. Tonka, Buddy L and Nylint from the 40's through the early '70s. Whoever told you to mix lemon and baking soda, told you wrong. Putting baking soda in the lemon juice will kill the acid of the lemon. It's the acid that eats away at the rust. I never use a sandblaster. I have no use for it. I use white vinegar to remove old paint and rust off of steel toys. It takes about a week soaking in white vinegar to remove all the rust and old paint. I've used this method to get old paint and rust off of steel toys for 35 years. It always works. But just as a side note, never drop a Matchbox car in the vinegar. It will eat cast aluminum up. In a week, the steel parts will be clean and rust-free. But the cast aluminum will be gone. Getting rust off of small steel parts using vinegar can take as little as an hour soaking, And as much as 4 hrs soaking. It depends on how rusty the parts are and how big they are.
Damn you! Lemon, great source of Vitamin C. I bring about 10 lemons a week from my parents house tree, extract the juice and freeze one part, the rest, I use it to cook. Meats, fish, drop three tablespoons of lemon in them while cooking, not only tastes great but protects you from colds. Haven't had one in 5 years!
@8:07 You could us white vinegar as well. You could also use naval jelly, whose main ingredient is phosphoric acid. There are a lot of brands, which you can find at your hardware store, or online. Great finish! That came out beautifully, as all of your restorations do.
Well... Lemon juice and baking soda? Lemon trees are very rare here at the North Sea. But I could try it with herring and apple juice to remove rust...😂 (If it doesn't work, at least this is delicious 🍽️😜) Great work, though, Mate. Very elaborate but worth it in the end. Clearly a thumbs up 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend, You, Julie, the team behind the scenes and of course KEVIN 🐨 Greetings from Cuxhaven at the german northsea-shore. 😁👍🏼🇦🇺👋🏼🇩🇪👍🏼😁
You should change the channel name to Marty's Marvellous Matchbox Makeovers. For the rust a bath of paraffin works (remember parts' baths that mechanics or air techs might use?) and Iron (Ferrous) Oxide is rust . The baking powder / lemon juice is strange because the juice is acid and I'm sure that baking powder is Sodium Bicarbonate which I believe is alkaline based but I may be wrong with that. Finally you should have cleaned your creavices when you had a shower :p
*Hi Marty*, Regarding your comment about not knowing the difference between Mr.Hobby v's Mr.Colour paint. Firstly, one is non toxic, water based, is made to apply on plastics, but only after a suitable acrylic primer is used. The second is toxic, is enamel based, and needs to be thinned using Mr.Hobby thinners (ideally, but any thinners can be used such as turpentine), and is for applying on to metal figures and models, as it gives a much harder, resilient finish that can take some knocks. I hope this helps you in some way.
It's nice, but the sanding to strip is much too aggressive for the zamak, I prefer acetone and much faster. And stirring paint with a machine is a joke, seriously ...?
Hola. Puede hacer un AGITADOR de pintura con un CEPILLO DENTAL eléctrico viejo. Corta la punta, y con un alambre acerado lo calienta y lo mete a presión. Ya solo falta hacer un ganchillo en la punta del alambre y listo! Saludos desde México! 😀😀😀
You got a sandblaster! Recommendation: Watching sandblasting is incredibly satisfying. That's a good zen moment to simply say nothing and let everyone watch the process in full.
Nice work on the Dinky Truck! And the sandblasting machine was a good investment it'll help you cut back on paint stripper a bit and I seen people use them to restore older toys in their videos and Nick's Toy Garage has one and he does some good work with it.
Sodium Bicarbonate neutralises acid, which is the lemon juice. So, as a derusting solution? I'll have to see it to believe it. Basic chemistry seems to contraindicate it.
Hi Marty lovely restore will look great in your display cabinet sorry to say still no airmail at this time in. Your last unboxing u received a Bentley l think it had a number three on the grill this should tell u who the owner and driver was I will do some research and let u know the result also l will put a parcel together and will the letters and any info on the Bentley regards to u all stay safe.

There's one guy on UA-cam who does general restorations and after he uses his sand blaster, he cleans the parts with acetone before further handling and eventual painting.
@@Frank-Thoresen Yes, that's because even if the model looks clean for the naked eye, there are still all the fingerprints on it and fingerprints are fatty. And no paint will hold on grease.
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers It is nice to hear that you do. Maybe start showing it in some videos so others can learn from it. I was so excited to see your new media blaster and see the result was great. I was a bit worried that the metal casting was too soft for the blasting but it wasn't 👍🏻
Marty non è salutare usare gli smalti in aerografo con la ventola spenta in ambiente chiuso, se non indossi protezioni. Idem per la miscelazione dei colori ricordati di proteggere gli occhi
David , you don't need the special tools to make these models over. For the axle ends you can peen them over using a small ballpene hammer and many light taps at slightly different angles. as for an airbrush you can use instead, spray cans of a similair colour , just go gentle as the paint can come out pretty quick.
those small parts you could them a small glass jar with some sand drill a hole in lid and put a bolt in it and attach it to a drill on low speed and let it tumble till clean. you do a great job at restoring i love your videos thanks!!
Hi Marty, I had one back in the late 40's , A very nice restoration took me back in my back yard with the Spitfires over head , Good old days , Thanks, All the Best Brian 🤗
Marty, I have one of those that was my fathers, or one of his brothers - it is well play worn but you can still see the remnants of silver on the grill and lights - he was born in 1941 so that would give it an age from the early fifties, but it has a red body and cream tipper, with red metal wheels - another colour way for the earlier version ?
Whilst digging out some large Birch trees in our garden in Scotland recently we found two models. First one was a matchbox Fiat 1500. The second was a little more interesting being a Dinky toy Ford Zephyr in green and cream. Sadly the base is quite rusted and the wheels are missing but if you would like a challenge, I’d be happy to send them to you? I’ve been tracking a couple on eBay to see if I could find some donor vehicles for parts but I’m not sure which would be the donor. I always enjoy watching your channel and it takes me back to my childhood. Best regards
Excellent job mate. Looks fantastic. You could make lemonade with your lemon tree for the Australian summer time or make lemon preserve and call it "Julie's Jolly Jams" haha. Nice toy the sand blaster....
You do wonder who put these little toys together in the first place. Soldiers and service men back from the war? If so, it's an honour to consider that you are restoring something that had been so produced.
Marty that tab on the tiper body where the spiral mechanism engages should be flat which is why the tiper body has that slight raised look when you have it all rhe way down. Awesome job as usual mate
It's a rinky, DINKY doozy...Great job Marty keep up the good work always very interesting and enjoyable watching your videos, take care, greetings from the Isle of Man...
I personally am not a fan of the sandblaster. I love the paint stripper, seeing the paint blister en crumbling is so satisfying somehow. Beautiful restoration btw.

Hi, Marty is talking about Shrove Tuesday quick Google search should help
You can squeeze lemon juice on them with a bit of sugar. More like a crepe than a big pancake, , you roll it up and chow down. Delicious!

Garnet is too harsh for sandblasting the white metal of toy cars. Use walnut shell or similar. 🙂👍
fine glass bead works very well. we use it on aircraft as well.

Keith Baker sounds a great technique for lots of applications!
great job marty, lovely one mate.jpj
"Color" is spelled incorrectly, should be "colour". From Ridgetown, Ontario, Canada. lol
"Color" U S A, " Colour" proper English , no all. RS London boy.
Mix baking soda (basic) and lemon juice(acid) is incorrect because the basic element neutralizes the acid element.
The reaction is supposed to remove the rust. Not a big fan of it, however.
This one required some extra tools and thinking. Wonderful model and as always an excellent job. Thanks Marty!
Great Restore again. Keep up the great work really enjoyed this one.

Edit:great restoration
Eccezionale restauro!👍👍
when baking a cake lemon juice can be added to the mix to activate the baking soda to help a cake rise. How that works on rust who knows.
That looks absolutely beautiful Marty, well done and good job.
Just think, three years after WW2, the alloy that model is made from may have once beeen part of a Spitfire!

Whilst digging out some large Birch trees in our garden in Scotland recently we found two models. First one was a matchbox Fiat 1500. The second was a little more interesting being a Dinky toy Ford Zephyr in green and cream. Sadly the base is quite rusted and the wheels are missing but if you would like a challenge, I’d be happy to send them to you? I’ve been tracking a couple on eBay to see if I could find some donor vehicles for parts but I’m not sure which would be the donor. I always enjoy watching your channel and it takes me back to my childhood. Best regards
Regardless of which brand has the vehicle you decide to restore, the result will always be absolutely exceptional!
You're number one Marty
Excellent job mate. Looks fantastic. You could make lemonade with your lemon tree for the Australian summer time or make lemon preserve and call it "Julie's Jolly Jams" haha. Nice toy the sand blaster....
Brilliant work
Also the lemon juice would work better without the soda as the soda neutralises the acid in the juice. Still love your channel always great to watch!
You do wonder who put these little toys together in the first place. Soldiers and service men back from the war? If so, it's an honour to consider that you are restoring something that had been so produced.
Got a mess, let Marty fix it best.. Ok, silly saying but true words.. Beautifully done! 🐨
Watch out for cyclists with that lever sticking out !!!!!! Lovely restoration !!!!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that the sandblasting process is not as satisfying as the stripping process? BANN THE SANDBLASTER !!
HOWDY Marty! Thanks for posting all the great resto videos. Matchbox or Dinky, who cares. I like watching all. Keep up the great work.
Very watchable Mart thankyou, can you tell me what paint stripper you used for the wheels.,regards Rob, all the best.
A FANTASTIC restoration job!!... Looks better than it did when it left the Dinky Factory!!... Keep up the great work Bud!!
Marty that tab on the tiper body where the spiral mechanism engages should be flat which is why the tiper body has that slight raised look when you have it all rhe way down.
Awesome job as usual mate
It's a rinky, DINKY doozy...Great job Marty keep up the good work always very interesting and enjoyable watching your videos, take care, greetings from the Isle of Man...
Another stunning job well done! I was wondering when you'd finally get around to acquiring a sandblaster! Lol.
I personally am not a fan of the sandblaster. I love the paint stripper, seeing the paint blister en crumbling is so satisfying somehow. Beautiful restoration btw.
