It's always nice to see someone who is committed and spends their time well in a hobby! I too have been a model maker for 50 years and I always admire the work of others, congratulations again Martin, greetings from Italy! 😉👍👍
This is one of my favorite parts of this hobby, seeing what you pick up or get, l see many pieces too numerous to mention that I like👍, no matter what you pick restore, I always enjoy watching, Martin my friend you & your family take care & I'll be looking forward to your next restoration, see ya!👋😎🛻🚛🚙🚂
You have always a nice mix of restoration projects Martin, thanks for sharing with us, love your videos, all the best for you and your family and I wish you real Happy holidays to come
Hi again Martin. Finally got round to actually watching all of this purchase vid. Some familiar stuff & good stuff. Love the wee bikes, The Ford H tilt cab & trailer I see has the old style hubs on it. I've got 3 of these, all with the cast & shaped hubs. None of nine are in that livery. Look fwd to seeing some of these restored. Trust on that Mercedes 600 Pullman, you'll sand off the "raindrops as I did with mine". Tis possible, doesnt take much. Have fun, which is what this hobby is all about
Cheers Ian ,yes definitely sand of the rain from the screen. Glad you enjoyed the selection this month even though it was a longer video theni intended
Another great haul again Martin, especially the Coles crane and the fire engines at the end. I noticed that the Corgi Toys blue Ford tractor you showed us had a broken lift arm on the back. I'll email you shortly to tell you where that part can be bought. I've also got a bad back, I'm on Diazapam and Codine. Looking forward to next week's video.Take care. Best wishes. Peter.
Hello Martin great video very enjoyable looking forward to seeing the restoration s like the old ones the best hope you and your family are keeping well regards Glyn
Absolutely wonderful group of stuff you have to work on and keep you out of (or maybe get you into lol) trouble lol. Can't wait to see you bring that Bond DB5 back from the edge of death...your magic is its only chance. Have fun Martin!
5:50 feels good listening to you nerding away. :D 16:30 surely a mechanical mouse. doesn't look like an optical one. though she seems to have a bluetooth. XD 25:00 looks a lot like the maker who did stuff for Maisto. funny thing, that bottom plate looks like the old Corgi Mini, only smaller. even seems to have the same proportions... 25:40 Not sure, but I think they were Hot Wheels. I seem to remember seeing ads for them on TV for a short while. 37:30 they make sound and flashing lights on top. I think they have a button battery inside. I have caught a Ford Sierra fire fighter where there is still some juice in the battery... have to dig it up and look after it before the thing seeps and destroys the electronic. 39:10 the mercedes bus is a Corgi Juniors, the London Bus must be a Tomica or somesuch. 41:25 looks like those 1:76 or 1/87 scale models for 00/H0 railways. forgot the brand, they pop up everywhere, quite nice models! 45:17 no clue, gov. never seen that brand before, and I ain't no Lotus geek. ;) 48:50 looks like a Ford F-350. 1:09:17 nice. :) I found one in very good condition and everythign complete and working for a reasonable price at a toy faire... I seem them often, but rarely complete. 1:11:10 now that you mention it, it's always the same horn broken off. a casting problem maybe? not that much to add this time. it still feels like fleamarket. :)
Thanks Lothar yes iam learning a lot about these castings as we move along ,thanks to your good self for helping with fantastic knowledge it's really appreciated my friend 👍 All the best Martin
Those old bike combos were a bit clever, even if they need a lot of work, as were the elderly Dinky Toys: the old stuff just seems to have more careful molding. I don't have any of the smallies at all, and would be playing them forward, as I did with the last lot. You had a fair old selection, all things considered, even if a lot ends up going away again, or as salvage. As you say, nothing gets wasted! Great score on the Corgi trucks too, Martin! Nice selection! And VERY impressed with the Jeep Conveyor, thank you!
Thanks Ian, I do enjoy doing the unboxing videos and I get a bit carried away, thay will have to end soon though because iam running out of storage space .
Excellent video Martin and wow,I've been mentioned 3 times ,that is mind blowing. You see!! By the end of the video you CAN pronounce Majorette correctly 😂😂😂, great lot ,brilliant cars ,love it
Good morning Martin , just checked my Dinky 39 collection , the first is a 39D Buick . You're so lucky to have those motorcycles , I don't have one although I did buy Dinky Ford Capri which you did last week and is being painted today . You have got a lovely selection to do here though .
Hi Martin a great collection there , I picked up one of those Cole’s cranes in a joblot I collected last night so you’ll see that on my purchases video I’m doing tonight, many thanks for the shout outs as well martin much appreciated
Hi mate wow there's some rippers in that lot great find not to mention spare parts. That large old roller is a beauty. I thought that green engine was a flying Scotchman at first, what gauge would that be? I'm looking forward to some of these repapering on the show. That little spider was walking all over the table before you saw it. In Australia it would have been 100 times larger and trying to bite you.😂😂🕷 We are coming into summer here I will have to spray the back and front doors with contact insect killer to stop the big huntsmen spiders hanging around the doors. They are not deadly but they scare the goose bumps off of me. 😲Catch you on the next one mate. 👍🏻
Cheers Geoff, the locomotive is an N. Gauge so it's really small hopefully I can repair it . The spider was a pain in the ass it wouldn't clear of 🤣🤣 yes I can imagine the spiders you have over there are a bit dodgy. All the best Martin 👍
Burongo makes me laugh every time Martin 🤣 As Lotharrenz said the flip cars are Hot Wheels, and your Ertl Police Car is a Smokey and the Bandit 2 release, same casting as the Dukes of Hazzard one. Those scotchbrite wheels will change your life, but yeah, wear a mask. Nice haul.
a fair ol' haul there,Martin.Being honest, i thought the donation's were the best part.Like the Ford H truck,with the 'Express Services' decals.Can't wait to see this one.I had one,no idea what happened to it,maybe in the loft!
Thanks Terry, yes there was a nice selection of donations this month witch was fantastic, yes the express truck will be up in the early part of next year . All the best Martin
My favourite time of month mate ,the EFE RML based at Alpha Romeo (AR) Tottenham garage the AR is it’s radio call sign followed by its running number for Eg AR 201 the driver hears that and he knows it’s he/she All the best Mark 😊😊
Great buys and donates! Question, and maybe you've said in the past, but what do you do with all of your beautiful restorations? Do you have them displayed in your home? If so, I think I speak for many viewers who would love to see them as you have them displayed.
At the moment the finished Restorations go in to my 2 display cabinets witch are now about full so iam looking at finding space to expand the display. I will do a video over the Christmas holidays showing my display cabinets. All the best Martin
Something to interest everybody in that collection. You seem to get many more models for restoration than you are able to work on and film each month - does this mean that you restore quite a few that never make it to video? If so I would love to see before and after pictures of some of them. I like your Bren gun carrier kit, I recently saw a real one at a great little military vehicle museum on the Isle of Wight. It was very solidly built but looked hideously uncomfortable to travel in.
Thanks David, unfortunately I don't really have the time to restore the diecast off camera, I do my scale modelling when I can .the bren gun carrier is a good kit ,that's great that you got to see the real thing excellent all the best Martin
I got a Coles Crane Dinky when new early 1970s, people don't realise how expensive it was new, think it was about £23 Loads in the day, poor seller as result but great toy.
It's always nice to see someone who is committed and spends their time well in a hobby! I too have been a model maker for 50 years and I always admire the work of others, congratulations again Martin, greetings from Italy! 😉👍👍

Hi Martin is that Charlie Crokers old Aston?, we bet its silver under that paint. All the best from Ian b & the girls.
Hi Ian in fact it certainly could be ,a nice repaint silver should do the trick.

I got a Coles Crane Dinky when new early 1970s, people don't realise how expensive it was new, think it was about £23 Loads in the day, poor seller as result but great toy.
Thanks very much my friend yes it's a good casting but like you said expensive at the time .
All the best Martin
