DINKY Restoration No.410 Tipper Truck 1948

[@GaryDavis-ir6fh]

i love matchbox cars and trucks, i have and have had a collection of em since i was a kid! nice to see some of the older ones being restored and having a new lease on life!

[@constancemiller3753]

This restoration was made possible by viewers like you. Thank you. 🚛🐨

[@foreverplastickits138]

*Sandblasting for little die-cast vehicles, Marty would you ever think one day you would use that kind of tools? Bravo for the restoration! 👍👏👏👏*

[@johnkelley9877]

It is hard to believe it is a toy over 70 years old. Once again you have taken a piece of toy history and restored it to how it originally looked. The model looks fantastic and the tailgate looked straight as an arrow That was a good idea to add a drop of oil to the screw as it will help in keeping the rust off. Thanks for making and sharing this tutorial.

Imagine the joy this would have bought to a kid that’s just been through the hardships of WWII

[@exlibrisas]

In a book Savage Continent by Keith Lowe, there were stories about orphan children in Germany having a blast after WWII. It was horrible most of the time, but sometimes kids would play games others would dream about. For example, they were trying their luck avoiding mines in minefields, playing with leftover military equipment or even put an unexploded bomb into fire once. I wonder how they lived to tell a story, but some people have fond memories of after war (non)childish games.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

@@exlibrisas Really, it's amazing so many kids made it through their early years - but we weren't as coddled by helicopter parents either.

[@exlibrisas]

@@kathyflorcruz552 Good point.

[@michaelsterckx4120]

A beautiful Dinky, a little before my time, but the fact remains that not many of us ripped models apart and stuck the corkscrew in our eyeballs.

[@paulrobinson6168]

Great job Marty, paint job looks wonderful. Back to new.👍👍👍

[@railtrolley]

Super. A vary attractive model in blue and yellow. Might be oldest model you have restored.

[@johnkaiser2549]

Marty - BEAUTIFULLY DONE! This model is one year younger than I am! Absolutely love it! Great finishes, very well done! Thank you so much for this project, very entertaining!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

A FANTASTIC restoration job!!... Looks better than it did when it left the Dinky Factory!!... Keep up the great work Bud!!

[@themichaelvortex4784]

That tipper is one your best, Marty! Beautiful, original detail only made better by your makeover skills. Love the sand-blaster. Thanks and hope you and your family have a great week.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

[@deangeorge5706]

I always get a laugh out of the headlines in your paint booth.

[@misterscaz6011]

I like that you're branching out into brands other than matchbox for restorations.

[@LRS905]

Damn you! Lemon, great source of Vitamin C. I bring about 10 lemons a week from my parents house tree, extract the juice and freeze one part, the rest, I use it to cook. Meats, fish, drop three tablespoons of lemon in them while cooking, not only tastes great but protects you from colds. Haven't had one in 5 years!

[@hatebread3515]

Oh boy! A Sandblaster. so satisfying. 👍

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

A sweet little truck, and for its time a joy for any kid to play with.

[@sherylelkins201]

You're a wonder! I might be an old girl but I love toy cars and trucks. I enjoy watching you bring them back to life and beauty.

[@billbeyer657]

Brilliant work

[@yereverluvinuncleber]

I would have loved one of those when young. I still want it today.

[@yonipalmer1923]

So happy you bought a sandblaster :-)

[@jeromemorris2700]

That sand blaster is perfect for stripping paint. Awesome looking toy truck Marty!

[@georgegrierson]

You do wonder who put these little toys together in the first place. Soldiers and service men back from the war? If so, it's an honour to consider that you are restoring something that had been so produced.

[@scrubbinbubbles]

the restoration jobs keep turning out better and better!

[@udorechner6846]

Awesome restoration of an beautiful, but well played and warn down little Tipper Truck. Now it looks better than factory fresh..

[@francocordero3105]

Eccezionale restauro!👍👍

[@eamonnhaddon5105]

What a finish Marty good things come in little glass bottles and tins. 👍like the sand blaster no more rushing to the tap.

[@BobPegram]

Good video Marty, glad to see something from the last century and not from the 19th century! It looks really nice, not like a miniature truck/lorry but clearly a durable toy for children.

A superb restoration Marty, you returned a piece of trash to it's former glory. Stay safe!

[@paulbennell3313]

Colours look spot-on! Beautiful job.

[@hernanmatias1428]

what a beautiful back garden!

[@thijsversteeg9010]

A beautiful restoration, Marty.. The tipping system of this Dinky truck, which you have so carefully cleaned and lubricated, is simpel and at the same time an ingenious system, beautiful.

[@stevenevers826]

Utterly fantastic, 10/10 yet again!

[@maryshort7183]

Beautiful truck design. Great restoration

[@timbodemi]

I like the silver paint on the grill. Your videos are always great, Marty!

[@bigthd2044]

Much respect from South-Africa.

[@PHIL_PD]

simply gorgeous!!! Thumbs UP!!

[@nathancook1404]

Nice work on the Dinky Truck! And the sandblasting machine was a good investment it'll help you cut back on paint stripper a bit and I seen people use them to restore older toys in their videos and Nick's Toy Garage has one and he does some good work with it.

[@motodork]

Your videos are both soothing and satisfying.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Outstanding!!! 🚚 As for your sandblaster plastic panel being pitted & cloudy, you can use furniture/plastic polish to fill the gaps & make it last longer. Used to do that to the shields on the lathe at the dental office where I worked.

[@henrygingold6549]

One of your best!

[@Grundag]

Marty! What a beauty of a Restoration! That truck predates even me. ;o) Great modification of your existing techniques. Always a better way. Stay safe, Folks!

[@gizmophoto3577]

Nicely done. Be well, Marty!

[@thomasheroux3146]

Great video Marty. Glad to see your successful use of a sandblasting cabinet. Rather enjoy sandblasting videos! Cheers!!

HOWDY Marty! Thanks for posting all the great resto videos. Matchbox or Dinky, who cares. I like watching all. Keep up the great work.

[@BillsWorkbench]

Nice Job Marty. I have a Dinky I am getting ready to restore. An Austin Healey Sprite, I used to have a real one and I can't wait to get this little Dinky restored.

[@theBaron0530]

@8:07 You could us white vinegar as well. You could also use naval jelly, whose main ingredient is phosphoric acid. There are a lot of brands, which you can find at your hardware store, or online. Great finish! That came out beautifully, as all of your restorations do.

[@JohnJohnson-cn9fh]

Could you please sometime when it suits you make a video of your display cabinet. It would be so nice to see all the objects you have there! 😁

[@davidfawcett4862]

Super makeover again! - "you should be happy with that"

[@thevictorianworkshop8660]

Hi Marty all ways like reading the head lines on the news papers. In the spray booth lol

[@jarrodminogue9244]

You have done it again Marty.

[@curtisarmstrong6521]

Great job Marty... love the colours

[@tonyhughes1958able]

Absolutely Fantastic.

[@briangilbert3884]

Hi Marty. This is just a guess, but the baseplate with the tabs was probably made with a deep-draw type of steel. It's a very low-carbon steel which is soft for bending. Tin cans are made from similar stuff, designed for easy machining with a punch press. If you want to be certain that the tabs don't crack when you re-bend them, heat them up to a dull red with a small torch and let them cool down slowly. This will re-anneal the steel (anneal=soften). Sorry, I was a blacksmith for years and it's not often that the experience is useful. Best, BG

[@ashleighparker9065]

Hi Marty. Thank you for your channel which I have been watching for about 2 years now. You inspired me to get out the old box of matchbox cars I had in the shed and look at them, and in doing so rekindled my affection for them. I have been inspired by you to expand my collection, and have been restoring quotes few, referring mostly to your videos for guidance. I am now definitely a collector, but trying decide whether I am a collector of originals, or a restorers trying to get a good collection of restorations. I think you are the latter, and think I am too, but I would enjoy hearing your thoughts. Thanks you hours of entertainment, and some humour! Ashleigh

[@graemehansell7642]

Hi Marty. I’m an Englishman living in Austria (no kangaroos in Austria) and have only recently discovered your channel. Bingeing now, so catching up. Lovely work and, as a 68 year old, you are bringing back so many memories. Well done.

[@kcox593]

Great work and I hope things are going well down under

[@tattoosteveneo]

Use walnut shells next time in your blasting cabinet. They will take the paint off but not damage delicate parts. Also it’s the citric acid that does the removal. Vinegar works as well. Nice restore and keep on keeping on. Grats from the US

Yay! 'Nother restoration video from MMM!!! I'm happy with that.

[@peterburrows8219]

My late grandfather worked at the Meccano/Dinky factory in Liverpool. During the war the factory switched over munitions and war supplies (he had a heart condition and could join up) so this could be one of the first batches made after the war. He used to tell many stories, one of which was that from the time where Dinky was winding up, he was sent by Frank Hornby to Corgi to show them how 'do dicast properly' as he put it. Not sure how true this story was, but it could explain why the Corgi tyres fit the Dinky wheels so well.

[@1911olympic]

Hi Marty! Great restoration! You could have sandblasted the tipper-mechanism too. Easy!

[@markus113]

You have such beautiful piano fingers👌

[@nigelm5777]

Toten Kopf But why is your right thumbnail always so distressed? 🤪

[@SuperAllan1965]

Wow i love it the way you make them look new again lol great job

[@andrewhorne5731]

Yes dinky Toys (1934) and Meccano (1898) and Hornby model trains (1920) were started by Frank Hornby (1863 - 1936) a engineer from Liverpool
