MATCHBOX Restoration Major Pack No.6a Scammell 6x6 Tractor 1960

[@manylezama9676]

It's not the quantity of videos you release but the quality of them, I really enjoy watching and learning new things. 🍺 cheers....!

[@Grundag]

A Great Sunday afternoon's enjoyment of a new Video and Model. Thank you, Mr. Marty

[@gunlakepaddlesports]

Although I am new to model restoration, I have history with full size vehicle body repair. A good job does require fiddling around a bit, taking patience. But the final result is worth it as you masterfully show. Thank you.

[@chrisbo8388]

Hy Marty, these are the horizontal guide rollers and the pulley on the left of the rear winch. With this restoration you have once again outdone yourself.

[@malbradford3981]

Good job Marty. Yes the Soda Blaster is the way to go. I use it in restoring model plane engines which are aluminum casting. Brings them up like new.

[@terencebrackstone4366]

liked this restorations I remember having one of these new as a child. Mine had two tractors one pulling and the other pushing. great finish well done

[@johnpowell239]

Yet another makeover of yesteryear. Really nice job I remember seeing these heavy lorries on the road, as regards to to the rear end of the truck the rollers were for winching loads onto the the trailer, the cable was hidden in the big box on the back.

[@toonman1971]

Great job

[@Capitan0Guinea]

I must thank you. Watching your video finally I mustered the techniques to correctly use the decals!

[@e3672222]

Great job Marty! That dark red paint looks superb. That’ll look great in your display

[@neilpye6089]

Another work of art marty

[@lawrencetate5026]

Brilliant work and craftsmanship! I was looking to restore a vintage Tootsietoy 1956 Pontiac Safari wagon to match my project car and found you by chance. Your tips and examples gave me the confidence to dive right in!

[@MarcoAAOrtiz]

Nice work... Marty would organize an Matchbox museum... It would be very funny to visit.

[@dave3657]

Very interesting video, very nice work. As far as the fan goes, when I used to paint in the garage I would tape a house air filter to the back of a box fan. You don't need that much air but they make small desk type box fans that you could put a disposable filter on. 👍👍

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Great tip!

[@brianmicky7596]

Hi Marty. From rubbish back to life, Looks fantastic, take your time and get it right, All the Best Brian 🤗

[@kawasaki5187]

I had this model it was my pride and joy, my only complaint with the Matchbox range was all the different scales, super job

[@brianartillery]

I think that the features moulded on the rear of the prime mover, are meant to be winch rollers. I have the orange coloured large version of this, and that's what they resemble. An excellent restoration of a really cool toy. Thank you!

[@carstenkoloc5226]

Sit here in my kitchen by coffee white bread and enjoy your video.Great.😉🥁🥁

[@brianbarnes7774]

Marty, I think this model looks fantastic. This one was a lot of work, but You made it look easy.

[@michaeljacobson9726]

Absolutely brilliant, great job .I so happy that you restore to original. I also only restore Matchbox. No customs . Your tutorials are get.

[@sethguest781]

Very nice, a handsome piece to say the most. Pretty sure it's for transporting heavy machinery or even locomotives or traction engines. The lowloader is definitely dedicated to some purpose as that. I need one for my layout, hopefully one turns up somewhere.

[@kenvasko2285]

This was my favorite Matchbox as a kid. My drawbar went missing. I used a paper clip to fix it back then. It still looks good today! Love your videos! I am retired now and I am going to try restoring them some day soon. You've inspired me. Thanks!

[@bethrappeport9381]

As always, great headline from The Sun. One of the little details I love from your videos!

[@nicolemertens5492]

Nice Job ! Its a fantastic casting and looks like new . Nice to see on a rainy day .

[@ConstantinoR-ss9bn]

Beautiful restoration on this one Marty wow like it just came out of the box job well done

[@Usa1293-s2k]

Wow I love macthbox toys

[@keithperry8098]

Great job. Nice toy. Cool video👍

[@davidchristensen6908]

You only hope you can look as good as these when your 60. Thank you so much for the video.

[@awizardalso]

I'm more into HO scale model trains but I still like to see old toys restored. Years ago, when I was a young kid I did have a collection of Matchbox toys, though I lost them when my parents moved to a new place.

[@Middlesbrough250]

And Thank you Marty, for restoration of one of my donationed models.😀

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Hey, Henry , sorry it took so long! - Thanks for supporting me and my channel. As I said, "Without you this video would not exist". A thousand thanks. :)

[@stephenhicks7632]

Hi, James. What a surprise to hear your name on Marty's channel. Small world...

[@Anders1236]

Part of the time consumption within your hobby surely comes from setting up the camera and filming the scenes of you, executing the different steps of the process of restoring the models. A work we are very happy with, as it is so well done Marty.

[@npg68]

Well done.

[@mid-niteryders5523]

Always do a great job, but this was a large stretch, beautiful !

[@farkinarkin5099]

I've still got my Matchbox Scammell tank transporter but the Centurion is long gone. Nice restoration. 200 tons ... holy heavy duty or what???

[@brianthornton8312]

Very very nice job a fantastic product you should be proud of you self 👌👍

[@barrymiller526]

Another fun makeover Marty. Keep them coming.

[@dalehood4943]

Yet another great restoration

[@louiserobinson410]

Great work Marty. This model celebrates my 60th year.

[@americanpatriot2422]

Outstanding video and presintation. From California USA.

[@sk61181]

May this piece stay in your cabinet "with" you Marty, for as long as it does because you're a great storytelling pa and grandpa to a lot many of us.

[@paulmacdonald5135]

Nice reconstruction

[@TheGuzmansforza]

I'm watching your work from Uruguay. I just love to see the things you do. Thanks for sharing.

[@n4pwx]

Marty that truck is beautiful now. You are awesome.

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice restoration and paint job 👌

[@birdie399]

Thanks for the video. Great result.

[@raymorley8241]

My favorite Lesney item. Well done Marty. Ray from Moncton, NB Canada

[@markpearlbodybuildingandfi3121]

Wow you always do such and amazing job. I really enjoy watching you work on these match box cars and trucks

[@timcruse9054]

Another brilliant KZbin post thank you Marty, can you make a post of your model cabinet with your completed masterpieces in

[@hamiltonholliman2982]

Marty, To save tape that is not sticky anymore, try putting the roll in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Typically, it will revive the stickiness and make the tape useable again. Great job on the restoration.

[@descendantsofgrayskull1914]

I can imagine that particular set wouldn't have been cheap in the 60s. That would be a big Christmas or Birthday gift. You have done another amazing job on what was a wreck. It's amazing that little truck can pull the huge trailer.

[@2H80vids]

Depending on the load, there would often be other tractor units added, in front and/or behind the trailer.

[@robertphillips6296]

Looks great Marty, excellent work! I am glad that you are still with us and thank you for posting this.

[@davidneilson3508]

It turned out really fantastic 👍👍😊

[@lesstoneuk]

Fantastic video, thanks Marty, always great quality. I can remember seeing a full sized Pickfords Scammel combination, they used to have another Scammel unit pushing as well. Most imposing vehicles I've ever seen.

[@luizcarlosdeiricci8957]

Great Job Marty ! Congratulations !

[@philipbrazill2155]

Awesome restoration!

Another model rejuvenated from scrap nice one marty

[@johnperez2898]

Great job Marty like always pure magic

[@garyeinsidler3781]

The repair job was excellent along with the tow hook. Your tall display case reminds me of going to the store and seeing all the matchbox’s displayed. Great job again Marty

[@neilcummings9939]

awesome job love your restos. nice soldering

[@peterlightong9626]

I love to see one episode on tour of Cabinet Collections. Would be a great review. In fact, multiple episodes would be the better (with links to your previous restoring videos). Thanks for your work to our future generations.

[@eamonnhaddon5105]

Another great tape😁😁 sorry for the pun.a good restoration and we'll done with the colour match 👍👍

Awesome job my friend..

[@edwardparnell6134]

Great job, I enjoy watching your video. Thank you.

[@patrickbramlett7515]

Good job. Might try using a small soldering iron instead of the torch. I find it more user friendly. Blasting anything that small and soft material will always remove some of those small details like grill. Love watching your videos each Sunday morning with my coffee. Have a good day Marty.

[@donmoore7785]

Very nice body work. I am impressed with your success soldering this material. Also, that you were able to work the material after soldering without breaking it. Beautiful result!

[@RadioMartyT1B]

Amazing paint job!

[@williamdeegan7840]

When this vehicle was boxed, the tractor sat on the trailer. If they put the tractor in front it would have been really long, and therefore the box would be too long. So when you see this in the original box the paint on the trailer will be chipped where the truck sat. This was caused by the truck moving back and fourth. Even though it moved just a tiny bit, it was enough to chip the paint. Great job as usual.

[@125sloth]

Jesus William, you legend. What a great memory you have. You "reactivated" my brain. Yes, I now recall as a kid the chipped paint on the trailer after it was taken out of the box.

[@timfaracy754]

It was also in a box set, the trailer was in a long bottom slot and the tractor in a separate slot above it. The set also had a construction shovel, a BP Tanker and a two piece Tractor-trailor.

[@125sloth]

@@timfaracy754 Great work Tim, I recall seeing the boxed set I think in a catalogue in an antique type shop in Greenwich in England. I should have bought that bloody catalogue too!! Oh well.

Brilliant work.

This model would be the kind of transporter that would transport antique steam engines like the green engine you restored.

As usual an awesome restoration.Good job done well.

Great job, Marty.

[@BelieveNoGod]

I wanted to tell you about nutshells. But you knew about it already. I think it does a very good job, removing paint, and being gentle with the metal.

[@Andreas-du7eg]

This video is very pleasant to watch on a cold rainy autumn morning in Germany. Thank you for sharing the images of your work. Great work, should like to be able to do just half of it.

[@faerieSAALE]

Great outcome Marty. Another one for the collection.

[@tonyhughes1958able]

Fantastic, you really nailed this one Marty.

Many thanks!

[@lesbird2074]

Another first class job

[@tomgeorge3726]

Great video Marty.👍👍 I have one in my collection, sent to us as kids in 1960's by an aunt. I must get it out of storage box, just moved house, still has its box and in good condition. I'll check on the colour, I think it is a later version. 👍👍👍👍🙂

[@andrespinellijannuzzi1279]

Great job friend!!

[@WillyMaykitDiecast]

Outstanding job! Walnut shells at 6 inches, you DESERVE a pat on the back, and no way are you alone at having to redo a project. Keep up the great work 👍

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Looks awesome ! Thankyou.

[@jimadams8182]

Using the side of a bench grinder wheel is perfectly fine so long as you use very little pressure and stay out of the line of rotation. I enjoy your videos Marty! Thanks for sharing!

[@railtrolley]

Superb restoration. Great repair on the broken bogie. A bit of effort and a scrap looking model looks like new again. Got my own paint disaster. A #46 Mercedes 300SE. Paint went all "orange peel" finish. So back into the polystrippa again. Yet the DAF girder truck I did at the same time turned out fine: smooth and glossy paint.

[@tejolisboa]

Great work!!!
