MATCHBOX Custom No.24c Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1967
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 тра 2020
- This is a unique makeover. It is the customizing and the restoration of two model Roll Royces. What makes this video unique is that, for possibly the first time ever, a Matchbox car has been covered with Gold Leaf!
This was very challenging for me as I have not used this medium before and was unfamiliar with it's properties. I hope that you find it interesting and that it may encourage you to have a go yourselves.
Although the end result is not as well finished as I was expecting or would of liked , as I've said before, it's not all about reaching your destination but more about the journey getting there!

I like the gold leaf rolls. My daughter said it’s the Queens car! Well done. Both Roll’s look spectacular.
Marty is back! All's right with the world!
I am alone this weekend but it was an joy to watch your new video by coffee an toast.Thank you .👍😆😜🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
🤔 Not quite! 🤦🏻♂️
You wanted to say "Kevin is back!", right? ;)
I am happy with that...👍🇩🇪
Congratulations to Kevin, the winner of the MMM Awards....🏆
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. We had this exact Rolls Royce Match Box car - same colour - when we were just kiddies in late 1960s - early 1970s.
Me too. But I can't recall the colour.
Silver, I geuss/remember.
Marty you truly are one of a kind. I appreciate you and thank you for your contribution to this unique and wonderful hobby. 🐨
Marty, not that you'll touch gold leaf again, but having done a fair bit of it myself you need to polish the base metal to a mirror to get a flaw free finish.
Yes. Gold leaf need perfect surface. I did that one or two on aircraft model and it works only on high gloss surface.
Wet sanding a primer may work as well.
Nice model car perfect for my collection. Besides hotwheels.
1 am here in Southern Illinois, USA and I couldn't sleep. Nice to see a notification for your video to pass time. Very creative with the leaf. Great job!
Same here in Northern Indiana, USA. Marty’s relaxing voice and excellent skills is always relaxing to view. Be well!
Swansea Illinois!
Where you hail from?
@@jtjjbannie O'fallon, Illinois! haha
Awesome restoration on making this model into a Gold flaked 1967 Rolls Royce Sliver Shadow , Marty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the end, having fun is what every hobby is about. Part of that fun is the “trial and error” aspect, looking back after you’ve perfected your craft and realizing where you are from where you started.
Great vid 👍
Biggest lesson for me here: don't even try it. Stick to metallic colors. Sprayed.
Wild idea. Glad you tried it and shared. Certainly an intriguing finish to consider.
6-30am in UK and martys uploaded a new video so it's a must watch from me 👍👍
It's 3.40 pm here and in Australia
God job with the Rolls-Royce. Just Love that Gold Roller. Gold Leaf was a great idea 😁
Ryobi - The tool of choice for Mighty Car Mods. 👍
I have seen a grown adult crawling inside a Steinway piano inch by inch restoring the gold leaf on the frame... you need the real deal not the fake stuff but great to see Kevin winning that award - he is a real star. And your vlogs are wonderful :D
i love it when you do these videos, showing even the mistakes and making no attempts to hide them. I just love it when you talk about the learning experience.
Those Rolls gave you a good run for their money.... The gold leaf looks really cool. Thanks Marty
Now that's what I call a Royal Restoration of the "King of Cars" (or the Car of Kings)😁
The red one turned out quite good but the Gold one's SIMPLY AWESOME.
Congratulations, really quite wonderful work. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
(And also the newspaper headline is once again priceless 😂😂😂👍🏼)
Thanks for sharing. Greetings to you, your family, the team behind the scenes and of course to Australia's biggest "dream movie star" KEVIN 🐨
Thanks Paul you are quite the regular, so hugs to you for sticking around!
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers
I love to watch your shows. Unfortunately I had a total breakdown of the telephone and internet here and couldn't be there for two weeks. Finally everything works again and I can watch your shows again with my beloved cup of coffee. Keep up your good work, Mate.
The world needs someone who shows that there is not only horror news on TV , but also a little bit of joy and (I would say) wonderful works of art. Things that remind us of our childhood and, even in bad times, always bring a smile to our faces. Thank you, You, Julie, the blokes and sheilas behind the scenes and of course KEVIN 🐨. Stay healthy and "ganz liebe Grüße aus Norddeutschland" 🇳🇿👋🏼🇩🇪👍🏼😁
Paul Sparr Interestingly the British royal family was quite late in adopting Rolls-Royce cars: since the Edwardian era, royals had Daimlers, but Rolls-Royces were for businessmen. The Queen Mother kept a Daimler though, with custom paint job and a few optional extras.
Wonderful treat! Saturday morning coffee with Marty! Loved the video! Super interesting! Nice to see a custom - and what a custom!
Most awesome nice job thank you for sharing
When only the best will do Marty and Kevin are there with you. Rolls Royce's never break down they just cease to proceed.
I absolutely love the gold plate!! I am so happy that you detailed the inside also. Wonderful job!
Great Silver Shadows restoration and superb presentation !🥇🏆👍
Marty, I love how you keep finding new things to try - success or partial success, you're always learning and always teaching. Great stuff!
How you managed to find another "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" reference, I'll never know!
I LOVE how you show your mistakes/mishaps! Humility is such a powerful thing!
I’m so glad I not the only person who ends up snapping those awful plastic suspension pieces 👍🏻
Wow! This was my favorite Matchbox car when I was little. Thanks for the video and for doing such a great job on her.
Marty, thanks for another great video for your global fans to enjoy in these strange days. Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze. In Texas, slowly emerging from the quarantine. We are happy with that!
Marty, the gold leaf was a good effort. Thanks for posting.
Nice builds and paint jobs !
Thanks 👍
Great job. Practice makes perfect. Keep up the good work Marty.
So creative! I have a gold convertible RR. I was able save all my Matchbox cars from the 1960's to early '70's. You do wonderful work.
Great video. We have a real rolls Royce scrap yard by us , sad but strangely beautiful too !!!
Awe poor Kevin. It was all just a dream. Nice work Marty. Thank you for sharing. God Bless and stay safe.
A great job as usual sorting through the challenges. Here in the US I've used a very glossy "rattle can" paint from "rustoleum". Available in gold silver, brass and copper, I restored base plate flag supports for a local scout troop. Narragansett Bay.
You really took the the bull by the horns with this one. Bravo!
I am getting into this mans stuff. I keep coming back.
Hi, that gold leaf paper is a real challenge, for one moment I think you gonna switch to a metallic gold paint, but the final result are amazing. Like you always said "I'm Happy with That" 😊👍
Very nice restoration, Marty! Coincidently I have just finished a clock restoration and encountered the same trouble with the non-gold gold leaf. I think it is what Young calls synchronicity.... Kevin was his sweet sweet self again, adorable! Keep up the good work and stay healthy.
Leaf might look better if you zinc coat the car to even out the surface and polish it up to a mirror shine (like you would for Hot Wheels spectra-flame paint) before you leaf it. Your final result looks good! Thanks for the video!
A beautiful Rio set, very useful for the hobby.
Respect for your skills and perseverance.
A nice ending to your video and congratulations to Kavin.
And then he woke up.
That Ryobi tool is GREAT, Marty! Grotty is an understatement! The gold model turned out very good for a first effort. I've never used gold leaf, but I like what you did.
Good Restoration Done 👍
👏 👏
Both cars turned out really nice. The video at the end was fantastic and funny 👍👍😊
Well done Kevin ... and Marty, you too on the cars. I've worked a bit with gold leaf and surface prep (smoothie smooth smooth!) is the key. Also, you can get edible gold leaf fairly cheaply. It doesn't have exactly the same reflective shine, but it's just as bright and cheaper than what you get for gilding. You may want to drop a note to Diecast Resurrection and see what he might do for a paint-based approach. Always a pleasure. Thanks.
Marty! Kevin at the Oscars? You are a wonderful nut! Good to see a new video. Thx!
Glad to see you doing some newer Matchbox again, interesting experiment with the leaf, you don't know until you try. Not so long ago I wouldn't have used nail varnish to airbrush a diecast but now I'm a convert.
Kevin dreaming at the end. 😂😂
I liked the gold!
I think the gold leaf job looks fine. A great first effort.
Both Rolls' turned out all right. I have always used the Selleys paint stripper, now I know to stay with it. Never know what you will find inside a Matchbox: that spider egg sac! I just restored a #34 the silver VW camper. It had a yellow plastic barrel inside, from the #51 Matchbox trailer for the John Deere Lanz tractor. Bonus.
This is why we watch! Awesome video, Marty! And congratulations to Kevin! XD
After the Grey Ghost this is the Golden Diecast! Well done Marty! 👍
Best one ever! Nothing beats Kevin in a Rolls
Rolls Royce Sliver Shadow my all time favourite from 1967.
The chrome wheel hubs look great!
Living in Australia, I would also be queezy about spider nest.
Nice video and cars 🚗 look great i was thinking maybe using heat would have smooth out the glue and gold leaf you know heat gun. Just a thought. Thanks for your time and video Marty.
That ending....your bonkers mate! The Rolls looks like something Elton John would drive. Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it Jason.
Upper and lower small metal plates over plastic to keep it flat in the hot water. When it comes out and cools it remains between plates to cool flat.
The gold leaf is some strange material. Looks great! Mild sadness the trunk is super glued shut.
I've been waiting a long time for you to do some custom work, Marty! Let that creativity flow!
The twists and turns are getting so unpredictable - I love it!
Both vehicles looked great!
1:30 AM here but who needs to sleep as there's a new MMM video!! You did a good job on the gold Rolls. I'll send you some Bare Metal foil. Already has the adhesive applied so no brush strokes or glue to worry about. I loved Kevin's dream. Very well done but you should be in the Best Director, Best Actor category. Love to hear more about that guy getting hit in the head by a flying dil**. (LOL)
Thank you for a most entertaining video and to avoid a water based (non) paint remover.
Most traditional weddings here in the states, the Groom throws the Bride's Garter and the Bride throws her Bouquet. The Man that catches the Garter and the Woman who catches the Bouquet are said to be the next who are to be married, but not necessarily to each other.
@@eugenepolan1750 Same thing here.
@@BigLisaFan Only the Bouquet not heard about the garter
@@Ariella-mx3xq4cw6n The bride puts her foot on a chair. The groom slides his hand up her gown to much hooting from the men, removes and throws the garter. Some ladies hike up the gown so people can see it being removed. Funny how many men don't want to get married but it looks like a rugby scrum to get the garter. (LOL)
I was about to recommend Bare Metal Foil, as it will work so much better for a task like this. are you going to send Marty the chrome foil, or the gold foil? and maybe add a sheet of copper, too.
Awesome gold leaf work , very different .
SOO KOOOOOLLLLL
Mike Espo..
Interesting project! Love it . . .
Good job Marty--AND Kevin!
Typically water based paint stripper takes about 24 hours to do its magic. but the model looks really good!
Great job on this one it turned out really well for your first time working with the gold leaf. I loved the little show at the end and I got a good laugh at the newspaper headline too! Thanks for making the video.
A very interesting experiment. Shows how damnably fiddly this job is. The scale of a Matchbox model only serves to make it even more difficult. If and when you get around to doing it again in real gold leaf you know now what you're likely going to be up against and hopefully you'll get the finish you wanted. In the meantime it looks pretty cool anyway and it opens up the possibility of an interesting and effective technique to use. The interior looks superb on this car too.
The red one came up well. The finish on that one was perhaps more subtle and in keeping with the Rolls.
Never mind Kevin, at least you know now what it would feel like to win "Best supporting actor"!
Hehe.... Sweet dreams, Kevin! 😊
Good job on the gold leaf, Marty! I really doubt my XXL fingers could do it.
You need a gilders tip to do it. Should never touch gold leaf with fingers.
Great video! I’m watching this with earphones and when you snapped the plastic suspension, it scared me haha
both look gorgeous
Tremendous vehicle!!!
what I like about the fake gold leaf one is that it looks like what would've come out of the factory if they tried it and I really like it for that
Nice job on the small fine details too!!
Blimey! Vat gold roller's fit fer Arfa Daley. 😊👍
I had a same one in the same red color when I was a child. Memories...
Two EXCELLENT restoration jobs!!.. They both look better than they did when they left the Lesney Factory!!... Keep up the great work Bud!!
Thanks Marty!
Always enjoy your videos - including the headlines on the News. :-)
I was thinking the same, get some real gold leaf, say for my Ford GT-40. I'm in Thailand so it should be easy. Meanwhile I wonder if you preheat your paint and body before spray will you lose the bumps? I don't think you did any sanding either. Prep.
To my astonishment the first time I tried a make-over the red paint job on my Matchbox Berlinetta came out glassy!! Warm climate??? But because I had no primer it came off easily and also was a tad transparent because I stopped spraying immediately when I was seeing the glassy result. I got the same satisfying glassy white finish on my GT-40 with broken A pillars. Glassy on the first passy. Am I some kind of magician or what? Time will tell. Thanks as always, Paul in warm Thailand.
Marty you should ask your Model Shop , for Bare Metal Foil , it is a Self Adhesive Foil used in Scale Modelling , comes in Chrome , Aluminium and Gold , might be the answer to your needs !
I've tried it a bit but not very skillfully... it's still not all that easy, at least to me!
great work!!!!
This was interesting as I never thought of using gold leaf on a Matchbox car. The gold leaf has a unique color to it and I hope you will try this again. Both look good and it was really great to see a tutorial from you.
Glad you liked it John!
Great job Marty! The real gold leafs are used by artists that are painting religion art in medieval - byzantine fashion. A common practice for some artists in Greece, but those leafes are really thin. You touch them and they are disappearing into dust.
Good evening, Marty! After seeing all the effort expended with the Gold leaf, makes me doubly glad that I build tanks. Thank you for the Great Video!
Nice work Marty. Have to agree, wouldn't be without my small bladed screwdriver - really useful with my model trains.
Well done Kevin - well almost anyway.....
I've never tried gold leaf myself but I've watched a lot of videos on how to do it, there's a small tool made of polished bone that you rub over the gold after the Size has cured which smooths and polishes the surface to give that gold bar look.
Pretty sure its called a burin.
Your videos always cheer me up. Thank you !
I thought for sure Kevin would steal someone else’s award. Always liked that Rolls casting. Can’t wait for the real gold leaf
Like the detailed panels and interiors
Spiders surely love Rolls Royce lol Royal RR never had the "Spirit of Ecstasy" on their car =)
Awesome video. Thank you, Marty (and Kevin)!
Watched - Enjoyed - and Learned!
From what I have seen after putting gold leaf on with the brush you have to burnish it The protect it not forgetting the red oxide first
3:10 "i'm happy with that!" gold leaf? ..oh, my goodness
Love your channel! All your tips and trix and really makes me want to start trying this myself :)
Hi Marty, You give it your Best , looks great, The wife said you have to much time on your hands , All the Best Brian 🤗
