I once had so many of these models in my childhood that I cannot tell about all of the feelings I'm going through when watching you restauring these things. Very emotional for me, and I like what you do and how you do it! Keep it on and thank you for sharing!
Awesome video. Am glad to see someone taking pride in restoring these old vintage toys
My goodness I still remember the Lyons Maid Commer ice cream van come round our street. The window pillar construction was a revelation, and a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much Sir 👍 Tam.
It's not only a work of art, but it also reminds us our days of playing around with our Matachbox collections!
I must be getting old. Because I thoroughly loved your show!
Welcome to the club.
Settle down granpapa, or you'll not get your pudding cup!

If you get bored check our channel out back to the basics 101.
I love my jobua-cam.com/video/obNpqYA-nY4/v-deo.html
Me too! I should've thought of the ca/baking soda bit. Saw someone fix a broken nut on a guitar!
I hope you keep the videos coming. I could watch these all day long.
I intend to do more soon but they do take a fair bit of time to edit! Watch this space!
They are kinda hypnotic to watch.
I was going to say "meditative" but maybe hypnotic better describes the effect. I have no interest in doing this kind of thing myself, but like others, I could watch Marty doing it for hours at a time!
I cannot understand why anyone would dislike any of the episodes in this fascinating series.
Some people prefer things left alone, a resistance to change. If I were to own a Pat. Pending 1968 Hot Wheels worth, say, $6,000, I would be very hesitant to have it "rescued;" turned into a display piece of completely uncertain value. Make sense? There is merit to this wave of diecast rescuing, but certain pieces should not be "rescued!"
Done with an artist's eye for detail and a surgeon's skill to finish!
These are great videos! I LOVE the outtakes! I'm a scale modeler, and it's funny to see what I do when things go bad :D I got my first Matchbox at a drugstore in Indiana when I was about six, a Galaxie Fire Chief car (#55 if memory serves) I now have 4 of them in various states of needing restoration and one mint in the box. Seeing these videos brings a smile to my face. The idea of replacing the posts with cotter pin legs is outstanding!
You took a very sad little match box car and made him ever so happy again... Nice Work !! Love the video !!
Thank you I hope you like the others! :)
How lucky was this little car to find this guy.
How did you re-do the "glass"? Ever thought of rigging up some sort of Vacu-form?
You are cool
He bought it from the internet 2:29 @Yamaha SR650
Fantastic that these parts are being reproduced. Had no idea.
I don't know why, but I was so happy to see how old toy car was getting a new life. Good job!
I like how you share your knowledge for anyone to have a go themselves. Top marks
I had one of these as a kid. It always bothered me that the figure inside was obviously out of scale with the vehicle, and that he appeared to have no legs (as they would have extended below the vehicle if they had existed). Yes, I was that kind of kid. 😉
I still have mine, from when I was a boy. Just like you, I was always bothered by the weirdly disproportionate, legless figure, although the model was (and is) one of my favourites because of its uniqueness.
@@michaelharding6264 IT was the same truck as the TV van
I love the passion this man has for this hobby.
Good lord those pillars turned out awesome!
Well, you certainly aren't afraid to take on a challenge that's for sure!
I've used CA glue and baking soda for repairing guitar nuts before, but would never have thought to use it in this situation. Every day is a school day.
Great job once again and thanks for sharing the experience.
Thanks Pete - I am still experimenting with this technique, i'm sure there is room for improvement.
If you put the baking soda in a old salt shaker, you can control the application better.
Owned many Matchbox models played with them till they ended up in the condition the Ice Cream Van was in before you worked your magic on it. It's nice to know such toys are getting a new life under your skillful hands .
There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching something that’s battered and sorry-looking getting brought back to its former glory, although I imagine it must be a pale facsimile to how you feel after nailing a challenging restoration. Love your channel.
You do some very unusual and strange resto's.... Thanks for sharing!
Oh, man! I can see that I shall accomplish NOTHING else today................having found your fascinating channel this morning, I assume that I shall spend the rest of the day watching past videos...........I hope my clients understand the importance of this "binge"...............
Hope you enjoy the vids George! - There are more in the pipeline so check back soon!
Professional.i like lesney matchbox.
Your channel is very addictive
As A child (1960's) I constructed a toy breakers yard. It was full of car shells ready for crushing and parts that could be reused. I still have a large box full of the parts somewhere, Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox IIRC. I didn't realize that new parts could be bought for them. Excellent work and steady hands!
Love the care you put into making sure all the details are right
matchbox cars have been my favorite since a kid i have a decent size collection now days
Brings back a lot of fun childhood memories. Great job Marty!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS{Had a Lil Bro born 1965} He Loved his matchbox Cars!!! He passed 2010 So it brings back Good Memories, to see You restore those tiny lil gems 🚗🚓🚕🚙🚌🚐🚎🚑🚒🚚🚛🚜Thx............
Unbelievable! ☺ When I was a child, I had a Matchbox 1963 Commer Ice Cream Van like that! Its only difference was colour: white 😀 What a grateful memories! 😁😁😁
The CA and baking powder repairs were amazing. Thanks for sharing this secret.
I know!! - Now the secret is out! :D
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers cigarette ash works very well too and has a harder more metallic structure.
Brilliant,thank you very much and please keep going.
Great ! I have been collecting Matchbox for 60 years . Lost many along the way , but still love them , especially the oldies. Keep going ....fantastic
I remember a later model of the commercial van in a cream colour. I've been hunting all our toy fairs in SA for a year or two for one in good condition. When I was a kid in St Mary's NSW we had a food guy that can around called Charlie in his van it's part of my younger childhood I remember so well and is the reason for keeping an eye out for this particular van. I'll find one one day.
Also meant to say you did a cracking job repairs,paint on this one,,,,,,Fantastic,,,
Thanks again.
When you started building with superglue and baking soda, I was like: no fuucking way he's doing this. And you did it. You just got yourself a new delighted subscriber.
Same lol that's a very awesome technique that I had never seen before.
I've seen people do it for guitar nuts too. I don't do it because quite frankly i usually change them anyways and the nut is maybe like 12 dollars but some people do it
And I can attest to the resulting repair being as hard as steel. Even with good files and Dremel bits, it takes a bit of pressure and time to grind down! You can also use ground/powdered fiberglass powder (available at hobby shops and on line) that results in even tougher repairs. I've even used salt or ground pepper in a pinch! 👍
The wife didn't believe me when I started to fix a garden spinner with CA and baking soda. Works great and is light enough to not throw off the balance.
I tested it on a coffee cup handle that was broken in 4 places and it worked for 9 months of daily use! Of course it broke again and spilled coffee on the bedroom carpet, but man it was a pretty durable fix for the application. I’ve heard a story about someone plugging a hole in an engine block with baking soda and concrete cement.. hope I don’t need to try that anywhere.
Man your decal work is spot on - you could be a surgeon with those hands!
A beautiful transformation. Loved the outtakes.
Hi Marty, first time viewer, loved your instructions, thankyou, keep on restoring!
Amazing restoration. Good job
THANK YOU...for sharing. Fantastic repair. Very nice.
Glad you liked it. :D
All I have to say is another amazing job you have done. I always liked the matchbox with the little people inside.
Awesome job!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 😃👍
Awesome restoration! Greetings from México.
What fantastic restoration it looks as good as the day it left Matchbox.
I'm only just discovering your videos. It's incredible to watch breath new life into battered old Matchbox toys. Great work and great viewing too.
Wow! You're amazing.
I have 29 matchbox and I love this cars...
Thanks very much for the comment - I love these cars too!
Marty's Matchbox Makeovers
I have a question.
Do you like Hot Wheels or Welly?
I have 116 Hot Wheels
and 57 Welly.
I from Poland and I don't speak English very well...
You should get a automatic toothbrush! I bet that would remove the paint a lot easier
You're the Bob Ross of Matchbox cars! Cool videos!
Thanks for saying Greg!
Another great little video. Love the bloopers at the end. I used to have a van like this but I seem to remember it used to have something like a corrugated door that opened at the back. Fantastic way you get the split pins to work.
Re the Super Glue trick, you can also add into the magic tissue paper, good for repairing panels. Think of it as fibre glass matting. Bet the replacement glass cost as much as original model.
Awesome Restoration job :)
I get so much pleasure from watching these videos. Thank you so, so much.
I just like watching you do these amazing restorations.. Just like watching magic..
Stumbled across your channel which is brilliant. I’m a collector of matchbox. And have loads of beaten up cars just rite for restoration. But haven’t got the confidence too try it. So nice too have a channel showing all the tips of the trade 👍🏻
Thanks Steve! - I hope you give it a crack. My first few were a bit ordinary but the more you do the better you get.
Top job, looks fantastic.
Thanks so much for the supportive comments!
We had a van like that in our neighborhood. Brings bake memories, good job and as always thanks for the videos.
I used to have one of these when I was a kid in the 60's. I'd completely forgotton about it until I saw this video.
Haha love the ending credits ..
This guy uses super glue and baking soda like Red Green uses duct tape. Love it!
Marty, just starting your videos about 2 weeks ago. So nice to see you bringing these toys of my youth being brought back to life!
These Matchbox restoration videos are addictive and this one is the best yet. What a fantastic job breathing new life into this lovely model.
Thanks john, this is one that i am most proud of. It is a little beauty and one that i had has a kid.
I just binge watched all of your videos. You do some really amazing work! Cant wait to see more videos.
Thanks for your support and positive comments. I shall be uploading more soon!!
WOW! - I can't believe these vids are so popular that someone would binge watch them!! That is awesome and encourages me to do more, thankyou!!!
Im in loooove with the coco, i got it on the low low... , You got BAKING SODA, BAKING SODA.
Another awesome restoration!
Something very relaxing about watching your videos.
superb
Thankyou :)
Your a Master of repair - but the song that your are playing in loop could do with a renewing 😉
Beautiful job. My brother and I used to beg our mother for change when the ice cream truck came around. By the way I love the music and your presentation. Reminds me of the TV series How It's Made. You are doing a great job don't change a thing.
Dear Marty, when I have had a very buzy day, I turn on your restaurations. Just to relaxs and have a good time. I love only your programme concerning restaurations by the way. Keep on going, also in 2019, regards from Peter in the Netherlands.
Good move putting the decals on AFTER forcing body & chassis together.
I would have liked to see the inside painted in high detail... I know it's not original but it would make a beautiful custom.
I was thinking the same. If yoi could paint details on the face. Do a scary clown. That would be a great addition.
Steve White a scary clown? WTF... how old are you? Five! You reply is the most ridiculous I've ever read on this channel. Think before you type!
@@crapitoutjim A scary clown would be cool. More like your comment is the dumbest I ever read..lighten up man.
SCARY CLOWN!! SCARY CLOWN!! SCARY CLOWN!! (and a disco ball)
@@busboy3232 agreed, I must have been in a bad mood when I wrote that comment! Apologies to all concerned!
Very cool! Now I want ice cream. I am amazed at how you repair damaged metal parts.
Marty, really enjoy your videos. Your narrative, humor, and of course the cars, are fantastic, please keep them going.
Now it finished...back to the sandbox!
NOOH!!!!
by the way, scale modelers coat their waterslide decals with a clear coat to keep them from ever peeling off... also helps protect the base color.... just for what it's worth!
Also try and source some Deca-Sol or Humbrol Decafix .
Brilliant restoration, takes me back.👍
Thanks Marty , I've learnt something new in reguards to the use of super glue & baking soda to repair & add strength to a model.
Yeah pretty cool isn't it!
WOW
Loved how you built up those windshield pillars and have decided to give it a try on a long gap in a 35th scale Tiger tank I'm working on. I just have one question, are you using baking powder or baking soda? There is a difference and I want to be sure to use the right one. Your help with this will be greatly appreciated.
I have been using baking powder from the cooking aisle of my local supermarket, but someone posted that baking soda would create a stronger material but I can't vouch for that.
Well, we've got both out in the kitchen, so maybe I'll do a test run and see how they both turn out. I'll let you know the results when I do.Really enjoy watching your videos. I've been binging on them since I ran across the first one the other day.
You can substitute baking soda for baking powder, if you increase the amount of acidic ingredients in the recipe to offset the baking soda. You'll also need much less baking soda as it is 3 times as powerful as baking powder. You'll need about a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice for every 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
What happens to them after you do makeovers on them? And can I ask if you have a go to supplier of decals and bits to complete your builds? Thanks.
Impressive repair on that back post
I don't know how the heck I landed on these model vehicle restoration videos but I've been watching them non stop for two days!
Love the videos, man! All I’d say is switching that background music up every other video at least... haha.
Although I don't collect any cars at all, I love these video's, they are a joy to watch. Therefor a sub from me.
I love going back in time, and finding videos I have missed. It is almost like finding a prize in your cereal box. It was a mess, and what a fantastic restoration!
Love the way you repaired the window struts. Great tips!!
Thank you very much for your support!
A wonderful result.
Could you not stick a cotton sewing thread between two points and use that as a base for building up your superglue, baking soda technique?
interesting idea for a new technique!
Cyanoacrylate glue has an interesting reaction with cotton wool - it gets very hot, almost instantly, and starts smoking. Don't breathe these fumes in if you can help it - they're mostly cyanide compounds, smelling like bitter almonds. I found this out when I used a cotton bud to mop up some spilt Superglue. The cotton goes very hard almost immediately. The heat given off for a few seconds is surprising, but it's probably the same reaction that occurs when you glue a bad cut up with CA glue. Superglue will degrade if it gets wet, by the way. That's why it's a bad idea to repair your favourite coffee mug with it.
Their castings are so beautiful! I would love to see one of the molds Matchbox used.
Honestly I could watch these videos all day, keep The good work!
Marty! Please wear gloves. In addition to being caustic, paint stripper is carcinogenic.
So is the paint if is not water based.
Grand finale 16:18
🙂😆🤣🤧🤠
Amazing Restoration! Simply Brilliant!
Fantastic! I like this matchbox model and it's really great to see it restored.
Marty, you're a master craftsman.
Love your videos! I can’t stop watching them. Please, turn down the music or eliminate it completely. It adds nothing but an annoying distraction.
Michael Trotman music isn’t that bad. That’s what the volume button is for. 😉
I like the music myself but I did feel it was a bit hard to hear him in this video.
Has your Wife finally left you? You didn't mention her once today...!
Nah...she's still around!

Beautiful restoration
I like this but I myself scared people are doing this to resale as originals. I perfer all original but it did turn out amazing.
Please read my comment at the top... Thanks
16:15 Now you're relating to me!!! ;) Thanks, Marty! I've been playing and collecting Matchbox since before you were born. You've given me a whole new hobby!!
Fantastic! - Hope to see your work on line soon. :)
I think that was one of the best restorations i ever seen , congratulations again Marty !!
Great feedback! - So glad you liked the vid.
the gag reel was my favorite part. Super awsum video and great music and editing.
