For some reason hobby tex came to mind don’t know why remember being dragged along to Tupperware parties in 70’s and the mums would be doing hobby tex is was weird and really shit

lol great video

Sadistic monsters. Sadistic government. This is the animals land, they were here first. We are trespassing on thier home. . If someone trespassed into your home, you too would attack those people. I hope someone or something will do the same to the atrocities that they did to all those animals to all those people that endorsed it. I hope they see those animals faces when they eat them

I just scored a tonne of hobby Tex for free. Had no idea what it was. Was thinking I'd find a tutorial... but this was so much better

What happened to part one?

It's not in nz. Blah

My Mother/Mum used to do this type of Fabric Art (it was called Tri Chem), either in the 1970's and 1980's (U.S.)....

Applause!

Hi Tacy.Im actualy stay at Lekowo and so many things change here.You.must visit this willage again

I have my mums old tri chem paints but I’m not sure if they’re still usable. Is there a recommendation for getting the paint flowing again? The tips seem to be clogged but they look clean.

I found my way here looking at hobbytex to paint on a facemask... Things have come full circle... This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius...

I’m glad to come across this video. I have 2 original canisters of hobbytex and artex paints.

Damn 12 years ago

This is brilliant, and I have many fond memories of attending Hobbytex parties with my girlfriends in the 70s and 80s as a kid in country Victoria.

The Hobbytex company continues to trade in Australia #notlost

This video deserves more views! climate change, increasing world population, declining soil fertility, immense food travel distances along vulnerable transportation bottlenecks subject to disease outbreak stoppages require an ecologically educated population. Good on you Australia for educating your youngsters about organic gardening.

Still on sale in 2020 on their own website

Hobbytex is still available

To the viewer it often looks like we’re so close together, or we’re heading for those trees etc, but perspective is hard to compare from where we see things as we pass them, other pilots included, but they’re always much further away then it looks from launch or where you’re watching

Where's part 1 ?

I worked at Artex Hobby Products at the Executive/Manufacturing Branch at 711 W.Vine St. in Lima, Ohio. The paint shop was on Hawthorn Rd. south of Lima. The paint shop had techs to oversee that the paint was exactly the same from start to finish for consistency and was guarded. So you buy a tube at any time and that color would match identically all the time. I worked with all Branches and oversaw that they were well supplied for distribution. They were advertised on Bob Baker's The Price Is Right several times. Artex was bought out by Riviana Foods and then bought out by Colgate/Palmolive.

Is this car still around? Be keen to come have a look, I'm in Brisbane Australia - my email is admin at diypowerwalls dot com

Does anyone do these awesome crafts like Artex painting,Macreme,Tating, Embroidery,Pool- A- Dooling" anymore? My entire family worked on Artex paintings, posters,bookmarks(all were made of fabric and some were even done on velvet). We remember having quality time and great fun with the family too. It needs to make a comeback. A friend from Maine USA

Nice

This was hilarious! Thanks for the laughs Tracy, I’m going to try and watch the rest of your series now

This is pure codswallop. The Australian electric grid is majority fossil fuel powered, using coal from the Latrobe Valley and the Hume Valley. The embodied emissions of finite lifetime batteries combined with such a high carbon electric grid result in a much higher emissions per driven kilometer than even your average Commodore. And this is before the emissions involved in the transport of components for a bespoke build from the United States. The transport problem in climate change is solved not with better cars. The space and volume inefficiency of the car drives urban sprawl, long commutes, expensive road networks and bridges, all of which barely keep pace with the rate of population growth. The only place cars make sense is in rural areas that might not be able to be served by public transport - but the long distances involved favour an internal combustion engine for range in those circumstances. The transport problem is soluble only by massively increased investment in both density and coverage of public transport as well as a reimagination of zoning laws to promote densification so that goods and services do not have to move as far. An electric car in Australia is a disaster from every perspective. And even _if_ you have a renewable energy powered grid - which is looking increasingly remote as wind and solar penetration approaches capacity factor - there is no question that the answer is not a better car but more buses, trains and trams. A walkable city that is dense, served intensely by public transport that extends into suburban areas, would be an order of magnitude less emitting than even the lightest electric car using the most advanced battery chemistry (lithium air).

I have a lot of old paints but need tips and I dont find any in South-Africa

They should be chanting "DICTADOR! DICTADOR! DICTADOR!"

What was the verdict?

5 years till the first blue water event. The arctic melt and small rise in sea level WILL destabilize the antarctic glacier ice and trigger the fastest rise in sea level ever seen. Mankind has about 80 years. Most will die of complications from coming events like war, starvation, and other kind events. Pray for either a massive volcanic event or a large asteroid impact. Otherwise hope there is a afterlife.

Very impressive. You might have to do some work on the suspension though. I'm hoping one of my friends will donate his mini because I'm interested in doing this conversion so I'll have a vehicle for the shopping runs. $2 per 100 klms sounds awesome.

people are so cruel. good on you for exposing this. kangaroos will leave people alone , people don't leave them in peace that's why they attack!!

I hobbytex. I finished a butterflies runner yesterday. They only have 27 regular colours nowadays.

love it

Did you find out what was wrong? Our boxer is doing the same thing.

I remember both Hobbytex and Artex. I did a lot of painting back in the 70's. My husband also did Hobbytex painting as well.

We had this in the U.S. too., but they were called Artex Paints.

Don't forget to put stronger suspension in it, his cars is scraping of its own tires :D

Really well done! Very impressed with the historical summary. Hoping to save and re use most of the historical streetscape and open much of the area up as a pedestrian precinct.

Nice work! Although 4k to work? Just use a bicycle ya lazy human!

:)

Nice work Trace, and Helen. "Fairy Dell and Invincible Flour". Both kinds.

Great video - time for a hobbytex revival!

I've got a 1978 Mini Leyland 1000cc in New Zealand! It's an interesting idea. Im tossing up what engine to put in it. 1275's are hard to get hands on these days! Like the idea though!

John Hardiman Australia Lister was my great grandfather Sydney James McIntosh's 2nd cousin. Sydney's mother was Jane Pymble, Susannah's 1st cousin. John Hardiman's mother was Susannah Lister nee Pymble. John Lister was the great nephew of Robert Pymble the founder of the suburb of Pymble Sydney (my ggg grandfather). They need to rewrite the history books on this issue!!!

Great video Tracey! It was an amazing day!

Great video Tracey! It was an amazing day!

Bloody tree huggers ... No idea of the real world.

what a great video! Thanks!

Thank you
