Dolphin 🐬 truck & trailer is really cool 😎. Pluto ESSO truck and trailer I really like too. Love the tractor 🚜🤠! All really cool toys. I have a lot of those Tonka s and I think someone tried to glue yours, never had one like that. Ruff toys are some of my favorites. Awesome video friend. 👍

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much, my friend. The dolphin tank should be a fun restore. Unfortunately, we don't get many tonka toys over here ,just a few of the big stuff ,I love the older tonka toys you guys have over there, but sadly, postage is way too high. All the best Martin

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Those crusty cars , I would make a tight small box and have a glass top to it , make a picture frame sort of. Because together they are old memories, they would look great like that , all beautiful castings ! WOW . Good day sir 😊 Mike

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Mike for your idea ,sounds interesting my friend, all the best Martin

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

[@martindaredare]

Thanks JV ,we will definitely have fun one way or another. All the best Martin

[@geoffmower8729]

Hi mate I felt your pain with the getting in and out of the Jag. The MGA is the same if I have the top down I can sort of climb in and lift myself down into the seat, but if I have the top up I literally have to crawl on hands and knees to get in and out witch makes me look like a numpty, OK I know I look like a numpty anyway, I can hear ya 😂😂🤣🤣. I can't even sit in the seat bum first and swing my legs around to get in because my knees are too long.🤣🤣OMG those crusty cars, yes they would make a good scrap yard scene. But some might be able to be brought back to life with a bit of love and care. That was a great find and if anyone can save them you can. The Jag should turn out brilliant in yellow they are one of those cars that look like they are doing 100 MPH standing still. Stay safe mate and I'll catch you on the next one.👍🏻

[@martindaredare]

Cheers Geoff, it would make a fun video, watching people getting in and out of these type of cars .all the best Martin

[@ramblers69]

Great story on the Jaquar, I had to drive my sons Camaro years ago, found myself crawling out of it, lol Nice finds, 3D print is really cool, Cheers mate

[@martindaredare]

Thanks, Tom. glad I wasn't the only one who struggled with these types of cars , 3d printing is amazing especially with the level of detailing All the best Martin 👍

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Watched in 3 parts 😊 time poor at the moment, some beauties there Martin, and some more Jags ❤ awesome stuff, gee lots got corrosion 😢hope you're doing well🙏, -3 here snow on the mountains 🌧🌧🥶🔥🔥🍻🍻🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧🦘🦘🏔🏔🌧🌧🥶🔥

[@martindaredare]

Thanks KC ,for watching its really appreciated my friend, wishing you both well

[@peterhoughton1589]

Hi Martin, I just got back from America and watched this very enjoyable video. The Jaguar is fabulous but wow, the 3D printed Foden is amazing, what fantastic detail it has. I'd love to see you restore both your Corgi Ford tractors, the one with the digger on the rear and the other with the side digger. Looking forward to next week's video, all the best. Peter.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Peter, I hope you had a great time in America. Yep the tractors will be done this year if all goes well.

[@ralphcooling7583]

Hello there Martin very nice collection the DAF Tanker is very nice too as for the Foden wrecker truck I was going to get one of them too but I've lots the guy's name who makes and also do it in the same colour you said they are a very nice model. Looking forward to seeing you do that one 👍👌 Ralph

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Ralph, the truck should be interesting to do, as it's ready built painting will be interesting. All the best Martin

[@PaulRestorer]

Great video Martin. I really liked the swimming pool on the Berliet chassis. you will have a lot of new work again, greetings from Poland

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much Paul, glad you enjoyed this months selection All the best Martin

[@markrobinson8865]

Nice haul there Martin and all those vehicles would be great for a junkyard diorama.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks, Mark. Yeah, some of those will definitely end up in a scrap yard of sorts . All the best Martin

[@jg24diecast41]

Look forward to the Jaguar collaboration!!! I can picture a little junkyard diorama with the small crusty ones.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much my friend, the jag should end up looking smart when it's done . The junk yard is definitely growing. All the best Martin

[@septiccalling8341]

Great haul, guv'nor........looking forward to the blue 'bucket' and to see if you can clean some of the prehistoric ones up. A Fire/Police/Ambulance combo would be interesting.... 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much, yes I like the bucket myself should be a good project, same as the fire,police and ambulance. All the best Martin

[@robsterbob580]

Those old crusty diecasts are really interesting. I like your idea of diecast art, I think that would be nice to see, something different. That Foden truck is really nice too. 👍

[@martindaredare]

Cheers Bob, yep I got a ready-made scrap yard in a box .🤣🤣 definitely diecast artwork. This time next year, we will be millionaires

[@frasermartin6728]

The XJ220 was a remarkable thing - I did drive one once, but it was a long time ago, and I was younger and thinner! It had the same V6 as the 6R$ Metro - only the pilot cars, I think, actually got the 12. Your collaboration sounds great fun! The Dolphinarium is too much of a toy for my taste - Code3 for me, for sure! I doubt that Budgie and trailer belong together - the trailer does not fit the curve in the truck roof... could be wrong, of course. Tractor's nice. I think the wheel and tyre issue on the Tonkas is a chemical reaction between the plastics. The Scammell Scarab should clean up well enough, as should the HMW, Triumph and the big Steam Roller. I'd float the Aston, as it is, in a clear resin block! You'll need to go for a lie down after that video! Great stuff! There's a series of Limited Edition prints of some of my diecasts, if you are looking at artworks: have a look at Frasermartinart on Charterhall Publications!

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Fraser, yep lots of options to consider amongst all those neglected toys.

[@mickmanly1479]

The truck was amazing 😊😊😊😊

[@martindaredare]

Thanks mick ,yes it's something else that truck

[@crabbersuniquescalemodels9996]

Excellent! Really enjoyed that one. You hit my soft spot with the Boris Becker (Foden Wrecker). I have made a 1/76 scale version on my channel. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Love the crusty collection. I'm with you when it come to a lost cause. Take care buddy thank you for a great video.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much, my friend. I have always had a thing about old knackered stuff .hopefully the truck will turn out OK 👍

[@glynstimpson]

Hello Martin great video thanks very much hope you and your family are keeping well regards Glyn

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Glyn glad you enjoyed this months selection, all the best Martin

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Cool stuff there Martin..That box of old rotting stuff would make a good scrapyard..

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Brian, it's all good fun my friend

[@anthonywallace8534]

Martin what a scrap yard diorama you could have😊

[@martindaredare]

Yes I need to make a plan for a scrap yard at some point. All the best Martin

[@Diecastoutlaw]

Great selection there Martin. Love the 3d painted truck. Looking for to getting my hands on the jag mate see you Friday night in the tavern 🍺 👍

[@martindaredare]

Cheers luke ,appreciate it my friend

[@MeepsRestorations]

What a fantastic purchase you could use renaissance wax to preserve some of of those but there are a lot there that would make an exciting restoration...🤩

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much my friend its definitely a good idea I could give it a try .

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

Thanks for the shout out. Looking forward to doing the XJ220 decals

[@martindaredare]

Cheers Andy 🍻 should be fun

[@terrybeechener5992]

Nice XJ220,Martin.I suggest you look at some photos of the one you're trying to do, a lot of difference's between the two.

[@martindaredare]

Cheers Terry yes that's the plan ,especially with the bigger spoiler on the rear .should be fun. All the best Martin

[@BulletNoseBetty]

I wouldn't mind seeing you fix up those trains. The larger locomotive is missing its tender, but the rest would make a jolly decent set.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much, my friend, that is something I can do for sure , All the best Martin 👍

[@brianfearn4246]

Great video Martin, the blue xj220 was made by maisto quite a few of them were promotional true shell petrol coupons going back in 1992 . I have the same model. It should be screwed to a plastic display stand 😊

[@martindaredare]

Cheers Brian, glad you liked it my friend its going to be a fun build xj220. All the best Martin

[@gordonwebster3809]

years ago on tv a young couple ere going through grandads old dinky collection store in suit cases in the loft the whole lot was like those youve shown us shame really cheers.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Gordon, it's surprising what damage can happen to these things by just letting them sit somewhere neglected. But w can bring them . All the best Martin

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

Interesting mate. You could try making one of those rusty cars into a gear stick knob, cheers Graham

[@martindaredare]

Thanks for that interesting idea 💡, worth thinking about . All the best Martin 👍

Martin that Eddie stobart wagon the sliding door at the rear you could cut it down paint it yellow and use it for the airport fire truck 😊

This is very true Anthony, good idea my friend

Build a Junk Yard too...

OK Dean, I will write that down

Martin very cool stuff brother ❤😊

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much Shawn 😀 👍

[@barnydrunk]

The problem with the wheels in the tonka is 2 types of plastic reacting against each other, its quite common with old britans tractors, even some of my mint in box models have suffered, there is no glue in them

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much for the information, my friend,that makes sense ,and I appreciate it. All the best Martin

[@lotharrenz4621]

nice little big Jaguar there, sounds like a sound project. :) I know those cars that never want to let you get out again... though often times I can't get in to begin with. XD like Jaguar E, BMW Z1, even a Morgan +8 denied me passage into the drivers' seat. :) 9:00 nice, your hunt for parts was successful. :) I'm looking forward too, I'm curious how it works. :) 10:30 I have a similar bagger here, mounted onto a Faun/Mercedes chassis with the same upwards shovel, but without the possibility to park the shovel there, it hits the cabin... seems like GAMA tended to intermix models without giving a damn about more than play value. XD btw, mine has a hydrosleeve and pulley, connected to a pair of pressed-out lashes from the hole right below the shovel arm's bearing. I can try and send you some photos, provided my old trusty cam let's me shoot something usable. :) 18:45 a nice Tekno Denmark truck. at some point they skipped competing with Corgi and Matchbox &co and concentrated on trucks in this collectors' scale. I never had one myself, they just don't fit my collections. :) 38:40 looks like these models spend a whole lot of time in a partially flooded cellar, maybe even inside a box so the moisture couldn't evaporate. some look salvageable, others might break apart if yu tried... fascinating. the tab could belong to a miniature steam engine. the armoured cars could make a nice "after the war"-diorama. but your musings about displaying the aston martin racer, somethign else came to my mind: you could set up a piece of raceway for it, but the concrete or asphalt severely broken and grown over with weeds and stuff, maybe place two brittled-off tyres beside the hind wheels as if they just crumbled off. like, frozen in time, and then forgotten. I caught some lone-star train pieces at a used toys store downtown Stuttgart (they had their 30th anniversary recently, I had no idea they been around for so long). owner said they were the remains of his actual collection, so I got tracks, gauges, and some wagons. I might put them on ebay... we'll see. I caught some models on ebay that are very encrusted with a hard kind of fine soil. I suspect they might have been salvaged off a wrecked home at the Ahr valley flooded area from two years ago. one of these days I'll gonna make them shine as they deserve.

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Lothar, yes small cars are surprisingly hard to get in and out of .it would make a good video. The dolphin pool is one I hope to get on to this year and will be an interesting video, your idea about being frozen in time was a dam good one ,and I think I will go with that one ,so thanks for that . And all your support, my friend. All the best, Martin

Blimey Martin , you've got some ROTTEN stuff there . I like the crane at the start though , love to see that finished and my friend just got his BMW R75 MOT'd yesterday !.

21:24 Looks like that box was used as a Cat's Litter Box, or the Rodents found it and made it their home. 23:08 I don't think that MMM (Marty's Matchbox Makeover) has that particular casting in his collection. 26:54 Sure....Encapsulate the Corrosion so it can expedite the process of breaking down the metals. Would serve it better to try your best to remove all of that corrosion and give it a fresh paint job. It'll last longer.
