MATCHBOX Restoration No 51c Douglas 8 Wheel Tipper 1969

- Опубліковано 24 тра 2019
- This model was not too bad but I wanted it to look right for my ever increasing collection. I had done one before in a different colour scheme. They came out in two different colours and had different decals. One was yellow and 'Pointer' brand, this one is the orange 'Douglas' branded model. Both look equally impressive! I also went the extra yard and pumped out a replica box for this model as something different for my viewers to ponder. Hope you all enjoy the content and the unexpected ending!

Sad to see you succumb to commercialization of your passion. Four or more adverts. Not happy....
I need to check that didnt know there was 4 ads up
Marty. Can’t believe you replied. THANK YOU. I love Australia and as a pro pilot and involved in GPS technology throughout the 1990s I have been to your part of the word many times. I have about 100 1960 / 1970s matchbox cars. I love your channel. I am semi retired and am looking forward to “restoring” them. Your videos are wonderful. Please bear in mind I am not complaining and am sure you have no control. For example, this morning on this video here are the commercials: Time zero when you start - liberty mutual. (Typical on most). 3 min 10 sec - Groupon. 9 min 56 sec - don’t even remember. 17 min 00 sec Liberty mutual. 23 min 20 sec - Liberty mutual. And one at the end. So about 6 or 7. Please just do one a week and enjoy it. Do not feel an obligation. I would rather wait and enjoy high quality worthwhile. Yes dental tools are great. I did a lot of plastic model building, HO trains and radio control stuff. Your regular dentist will be happy to give you some of their “old” tools. Stay away from cheap stuff from online. Enjoy! Ralph. Milford Ohio.
Thank you Ralph for bringing that to my attention. I have no idea how that happened and I'm sure it spoilt the continuity of the video for you and others. I have now rectified this anomaly to my standard of one 5 second 'click to skip' ad at the beginning!
Curious - I didn’t have any.
No adds while I viewed it. Another great video
Great video as always! In case you're interested, I worked for the Douglas organisation for some time, based in their Birmingham, UK head office. Sir Robert Douglas founded the firm as civil engineering contractors, mainly relating to concreting works. In the 50's/60's the firm were heavily involved in building the main motorway system in the UK, including works in and around Birmingham using gravel extracted from a patch of land across the road from the offices! When finished, the gravel pits were landscaped and are now a beautiful park, much used by the staff for fresh air at lunch times!! So it's good to see one of the firm's wagons still in use, even if it half a world away....Sir Robert would be proud!
What a great post and an insight into the origins of this model, thank you!
One a week, one in two weeks, it doesn't matter. We will come here to enjoy your films as long as you enjoy doing them. Please don't rush it!
Thanks Mate
It's an AEC (Associated Equipment Company) Mammoth Major. They became part of Leyland Commercials. Great video Marty, always enjoy them thanks. I'm in the uk.
Yeah, I just found that myself.
AEC was also the manufacturer of the chassis of the traditional London buses, like the one in your 'newspaper', so two AECs in one video!
One of my favourite castings, used to ride in the cab of one of these as a kid with a friends dad. Slow and loud with plenty of time to see the countryside. ' Top Job Fella'
Seven twits gave this the thumbs down. Seriously? Why would you not like this?
It was twenty four minutes and eighteen seconds of therapeutic joy.
Thanks man.
Oh my god Marty, your videos just keep getting better and better. Thanks for taking the time to make them the way you do. 👍👍👍👍👍
You are welcome Mr. Zip, thanks for the feedback!
I'm not a Matchbox car collector. My hobby is railroad modelling. But your videos are so good that looking for a new one is the first thing I do when I start the computer. Great job, Marty !
That was fun. Makes my day to wake up to your videos. Thanks to Julie for being supportive also.
Thanks Wthrmm Pechin i shall pass you thanks onto Julie!
I understand when you say you are busy. My husband is handicapped and enjoys your videos. He's always searching for your work Late a nite will watch old videos. Thank you for sharing!
Your videos have gone up a level, by inserting stills, proper display of all separate parts, and your camera angles as well. And your green screen running gags are hilarious. Hats off to Marty!
Thanks for your supportive comment, it is so good to hear this kind of feedback from a viewer!!
Marty, don't worry one video a week is great, you don't have to break your neck. We all appreciate your time and effort. Your videos are my weekly relaxation. Keep up the good work!
I call it a bobbin sander. The Dremel isn’t a tool I use often but when I do need it, it’s the only tool that will do for the job! Very handy little thing!
No worries Marty, 1 video a week is just fine. I get it nice and early Saturday morning and sit on the back porch with coffee while I watch, great way to start the day!
Simple pleasures. We get you.
1 or 2 quality videos is better than 5 not as great videos. Take your time and remember to enjoy what you do. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks mate, i try my best! :)
Agree👍
Alright, the humor is getting real subtle and dry. I love it. Love it. Love it. Keep being you Sir!
Ain't it a great feeling when you don't have to mix any colours and you've got the colour straight from the shelf
OOOOh... yeah!!!! :)
Another childhood memory resurrected.
Thank you, Marty.
Thank you for taking the time to entertain me with the restorations. And bonus points for showing you turning on the fan in the spray booth. Health and safety first!
Marty: I really just wanted to say how much I appreciate the time you put into your video's for our enjoyment. You should be proud of the many hours of sharing your craftsmanship and love of Matchbox toy's. They transport us back to a time of innocence and wonder when we were children. Thank you again and keep up the good work!!!
Wow, thank you Bill!
Another quality video! I really appreciate how you take the extra time to include the sight gags and other jokes, it adds so much to your videos and elevates them above simple restoration videos. They instead become genuine pieces of entertainment. I think my favorite was the “Tank Invasion”. Again, terrific work!
First: I don't know Marty so no ulterior motive - head on over and support Marty on Patreon. Those supplies cost $. I personally think he deserves a bit of my $ since UA-cam don't pay squat.
Second: Marty - I believe I speak for most when I say the moment this starts to be a chore with your day job decrease the video count like only record every other restoration. Doing the recording has to triple the time it takes to do one of these.
Third: There are few if any UA-cam channels that consistently bring a smile to my growly mug. Always with your videos Marty. Thank you.
Thanks for yet another soothing video. "A bit fiddly, but doable," is now my go-to expression for awkward or difficult tasks and situations.
I like the idea that the AEC stands for the Atomic Energy Commission, and they use the truck to haul off atomic waste. So, If your yard glows at night, you know they've been dumping in your neighborhood. Good job, Marty! Always fun to watch. And you need to keep a closer eye on Kevin.
I always enjoy watching your videos! Love the green screen shots and the gems from the newspaper articles in the paint box!
great to hear , thankyou!
Marty you inspire me to bring my childhood back, to make my precious ones shine once more! Thank you.
once again your attention to detail is a pleasure to watch, Marty
Thanks Katherine glad you like it!
"I get a lot of pleasure out of it."
As do we sir. Thank you for making the time.
Thanks Phil, so glad that you enjoy my weekly uploads!
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers
I think I speak for most of your subscribers when I say we are quite content with one video a week.
Thanks for sharing your spare time and talents with us. Another great job.
You are welcome Scottgm321, i am so glad that you took the time to comment and are enjoying the vids!
Not only can you do fantastic restores/customs but, your video expertise is spot on... Great job! 🤙
Turned out Fantastic Marty, looks like Kevin got his revenge for the mowing of the lawn!
I know! - The little Pri++k!
The Douglas, pointer, and the hoveringham are my favorite trucks.
Your videos have become a highlight of my week. I'm always looking forward to the Continuing Adventures of Kevin. 🐨🐨🐨 And that Molotow chrome paint is remarkable.
HAHAHA! That Kevin, he's getting you back for making him mow the lawn. Great looking makeover as always.
Wonderful! Great restoration! It's always nice to see Kevin make an appearance.
It's still amazing the amount of detail matchbox cars have from this time period
I know , I never noticed as a kid but now with a new appreciation of these models I am amazed at the details!
I’m loving the orange! Very nice finish!
Me too, looks great as well as the lemon coloured one, hats off to Matchbox!
I had two of the Douglas trucks when I was a boy. Thanks for doing such a great job.
So glad that you post these on Saturdays. Great way to get the weekend started.
I don't know about anyone else but I was just HYPNOTIZED BY THOSE SPARKS COMING AT THE CAMERA!!! 😨😨😨
I love it! I can watch repairs anywhere but I love your style of humor!
the dumb truck looks great and that vintage newspaper is pretty fresh for a thirty year old periodical
Marty, you constantly twang my sentimental nerve but the Douglas tipper almost made me cry. Not only did I have the model, literally hundreds of the real ones used to rumble past my old school , Greenholm Road in Birmingham UK when they built the M6 back in the mid to late 60s. Keep up the good work chap.
If the container with the silver paint is tight to open , rather than using grips to undo the top run hot water over the top for a couple of minutes and the top will come off easily .Or sit the container in a small bowl of near boiling water will also soften the paint as well stop it getting gluggy . Great video by the way 👍
Julie's toothbrush really gets multi-use workouts....lol! We call it wax paper in the U.S., and a "Tipper" is called a "Dump Truck". Great video.
Just watched this one while eating my breakfast as I am on my own working away from home. As usual from you, a wonderful video. What a great way to start the day!
looks fresh out of the lesney factory! great job!
I don't know what's more entertaining the subject matter or your crazy ass lol. Awesome mate
Thanks for commenting dadedubbledee!!!!!! :)
Another great restoration Marty. My mum worked at the Matchbox factory in the sixties on a press machine. I had a chat with her about it last weekend. Dad still has some boxed vehicles in the loft from that time.
No Fri##ing way!!!
Yes. When my brother and I were young Mum did all types of different jobs. So we were given cars when she was at Matchbox and ice cream when she was working at Lyons Maid!
Another great resto, these videos frequently bring back a memory of a model that i had as a kid in the UK in the 50s and 60s. I recall an articulated horse box with a ford Thames trader prime mover, i had to jam a small piece of paper in the tail gate to keep it closed. And memories of others that i haven't thought of since i was a kid .
I just love your sense of humor. Awesome video as always. I saw Kevin in the truck window.
Really nice work on this model. I especially like the details of the door handles, I have often wondered why you never painted them before. It really sharpens up the model. Thanks for the work.
Imagine...If I hadn't watched this today, I never would have learned about that bus they finally found buried at the South Pole. I was beginning to lose sleep over the whereabouts of that poor bus. Great vids! I'm getting ideas about how to occupy my time when I retire.
Great job!
Idea for video: Go through the process how you like to clean your air brush.
SingleStacked Yes please!
LMAO! Marty, you always seem so prim and proper throughout the videos then we get to the outtakes and realize you're human just like the rest of us. 😄 Great video. Awesome looking truck.
Thanks for watching Weston Ward, I thought that I would make it real and show that it's not all 'Beer and Skittles!'. :)
Looks like someone is mowing the yard again that is as soon as you can get yourself out of there. Another awesome build look forward to the next
i think thats one of the best finishes you've done !
Thanks so much for your support!
Love the real news news papers.. Fantastic headlines... best part of your videos...
As ever, a fantastic makeover. Your videos are getting better all the time and especially love the bloopers at the end, it just goes to show it's not all plain sailing when making your videos.
I think I have liked every one of your videos Marty! Congratulations and keep up the great work!
Me too!! :) - Thanks for watching I welcome your comment!
Great job love your sense of Humor
Pleased to hear John ;)
And what I like best? Your sense of humor
Now my Saturday morning is complete 😊 👍🏽👍🏽
Marty, another great video and I really love the green screen use to put you in play with the vehicle. Great stuff...
it aint easy but I think it's worth it as it adds a new dimension to my vids! - Glad you like it!
So impressed with the details of work :)
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback!
Great restoration with wonderful humor as always.
Is that a matchbox bus they found? Toothbrush gags and Kevin are great. Oh and the restoration is super. Thanks for another great vid.
Glad you liked and commented doublenicklbob!
Briliant job with superb attention to detail. Great job on the paint and decal.
Love the projects and of course the humor Marty. I especially enjoy the interactive scenes now and the outtakes! LOL
I Enjoy watching your makeovers all the time They're quite therapeutic there!.
Hi Marty. The letters are actually “AEC Associated Equipment Company”. AEC was a United Kingdom based vehicle manufacturer which built buses and trucks from 1912 until 1979. Great video.
Just finished watching your first video, awesome work and skill !!! Love watching your videos ❤
I enjoy you down to earth presentation.Keep up the excellent work. Darryl from Mechanicsburg, Pa. USA.
Thanks Darryl!
Marty, you've inspired me. I've begun my own restorations and now, you have a be fan.I'd live to actually get in contact with you and pick your brain about some I'd my own rebuilds...
Fantastic work
Great job as always Marty, and kudos to Kevin (I never knew koalas were so sneaky).
Great trick with the greaseproof paper Mate
It's great for that wheel wash, haven't found another use for it yet though!
Auto up-vote for Marty (with Julie controlling from behind).
once again a cool video. I drive a 4-axle truck myself, that's why I found it very special. and right at the beginning I thought about how you would put it into scene. I thought so with the dump. but also in the authentic work clothes - yeah - well done!
I am spewing that I could not find my hard hat! - I'm sure I,ve got one somewhere!
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers I'm happy with that :D
I used to have a couple of the Douglas 8 wheeled tippers and they were my favorites so this was a very neat tutorial to watch. You have a lot of helpful tips in this as well. Thanks for taking time to share this with us.
You are welcome John!
I remember those trucks working for Douglas,Wife used to work for Douglas before we married in the 80's. Drove one for another company,they were the best cabs at the time.Prefer the Douglas orange to the Pointer yellow looks more life like.
Awesome John , thanks for posting.
Nothing like a Marty video with morning coffee. Truck looks great, and I love the addition of the reproduction box.
Yeah! - Thought I would throw that in for something different! - Glad you liked it!
It is AEC on the front of this model. Associated Equipment Company, building trucks in England since 1912.
Hello! I say thanks for you videos. sometimes watching your video is only thing that make me feel better. It is freshing to remember that one can find joy in small things like old toys, perhaps thats why it's so pure because you don't have to take it so adult-serious but serious like childrens play. Greetings from Finland.
Nice restoration, looks like the day it was made.
What can I say Marty! It looks brand new right out of the package lol it’s that great of a job! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent...I use old Matchbox trucks, when I find them, for all my HO scale modeling.
The clips with the magnets are a good idea for holding the freshly painted parts while they dry.
I bought two and now I can't find them anywhere. If you see any buy at least 6 they are so handy.
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers Maybe your wife pawned them to buy a new Fruit Bowl after you broke her other one. lol
That makes sense that the harder metal of those tiny screws would cut the soft pot metal of the model. Great tip discovery!
I really liked how this one turned out. Great job also I like seeing the problems along the way it really makes me appreciate how much goes into thesel little makeovers.
My favorite part is always the Fast Axle Restoration Tool...
The toothbrush gag was very subtle and made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂
Another nice resto Marty. Damm that kevin tipping that gravel on you🐨🐨🐨🐨
The little Pri++K!!
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 😂😂😂😂🐨🐨🐨🐨
I just love you're subtle humour, also the sparks flying towards the end was a great affect. Another great source of chrome paint is White Knights super chrome or gold aerosol paint, just spray a little into the lid for small jobs.
You can find it at Bunnings hardware.
Cheers.
I really like your sense of humor.
Thanks mate, glad to hear some positive feedback!
There should be a Q&A with Kevin and Marty
😁 😁 😁 😁 A brilliant idea!! 😁 😁 😁 😁
Marty, this is to me is your best video yet! Very smooth and well narrated. Maybe your best restoration as well, much better than the yellow truck. Thank you for producing such fun and interesting videos.
What an awesome truck. I remember it when I was a child
THANK YOU...for sharing. Simply the best.
Que sería de Marty sin Julie😁
Me encanta como te ha quedado..Muy bien👏
