MATCHBOX Restoration 47a 1 Ton Trojan Van 1958

[@udorechner6846]

Thats a nice simple delivery van. Very nice restoration to a better than factory fresh condition. Sometimes i wish these old models would be modernised with windows and interieur and sold again...

[@glorfendell2967]

KEEEEEVIN! Happy 5th! I've enjoyed every one. Thanks Marty.

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

I bet that cats cold someone shaving the poor thing 🤣 nice job Marty looks nice and shiny again can you imagine buying it brand new as a child and the first opening of the box …absolute heaven 👍

[@Road_Rash]

I can't believe it's been 5 years... I remember finding this channel when he had like 5 videos...what a journey through some Matchbox history!

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Still, it remains a childhood memory that I had a lot of fun with the Matchbox cars. The disadvantage of getting older, the young functions of your body decrease. Happy 5th YT anniversary.

[@malcolmmacmillanmacmillan2050]

I'm watching your channel since the very beginning and I don't regret a single episode . It's definitely one of the best if not the best wee car restoration channel on internet. The commentary is great, funny bits with Kevin and hilarious newspaper details all the time. I love it. It helped me through the pandemic and it helps me nowadays when I need to relax. I used to restore matchbox cars when I was a kid and I do it nowadays on occasion so there is obviously strong connection. Thank you Marty!!!😊😊😊

[@MrTam63]

Made my Sunday Marty , brilliant job again buddy

[@travelersdiecastcustoms1511]

Another great Restore Marty👍👍👍👍

[@jamesmcclenin9804]

That was my first Matchbox model. Thanks for kindling the memory.

G'day from Cuxhaven 👋 First the "Trojan" really looked like it had, over years, delivered tons of tea.... 😁 But a little TLC 🛠️🎨🖌️ can work wonders 😉 (And that a resto can take several days, I know only too well 🙄😁) When you have four-legged-mates 🐕‍🦺🐈 in the house, you always have to expect them to be curious and want to know what "Daddy" is doing.... (I work on models myself and have five sighthounds and two parrots. Now and again there is a nose or a beak "at work" 🤣) Ok, we don't have koalas at the North Sea, but it's still risky to leave the room when there's food on the table.... 😆 (As I said, five sighthounds) But about your work... Excellent, I can't say otherwise 🤩 It's always a pleasure to see a piece of scrap metal turned back into a gem for the display case. 🚗🔎👀👍🏼 What I also like... You're using self constructed tools. Great 😃 (At this point also a shoutout to Paul Restorer in Krakow 👍🏼🇵🇱🤩) Marty, I'm thrilled. Definitely both thumbs up for this 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼 Have a great week to you, Julie and all the team behind the scene and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😉 Greetings from the DCcoB at the lighthouse end of the Elbe River. 😎👍🏼🇦🇺✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 P.S. Shoutout to Australia's most koalafied jokester 👍🏼🐨🇦🇺

[@jesuscalerogutierrez118]

Que maravilla el trabajo qué haces. Quedan preciosos. Sigo tus vídeos Thank you!!!!

[@jamesmcgowen1769]

Always love the headlines of the NT News! I always use kitchen foil as a gasket between the bottle and lid of Tamiya and similar products. Nice little truck Marty

[@jaybradley9083]

Happy anniversary for five great years of Matchbox makeovers. Here's to many more years. Great job on the delivery truck.

[@malcolmmacdonald3992]

Thanks Marty! What a pleasure your channel is and how I enjoyed this makeover! A pristine example of your craft! Well done mate!

[@ScottWM54]

8am on the US East Coast @ time of release. Perfect timing for a cup of coffee & a Marty's Matchbox Makeover.....thank you.

[@billholmes6639]

One of my favorite channels, love Kevin!!

[@130crowd]

It looks very nice, Marty. And I like your hands .. they look hardworked and capable !

[@raymonde4272]

Congratulations Marty on 5 years of restoration videos. The additional paint detailing of the grille and side lights made the simple model much more interesting.

[@DieCastRestos]

Happy five years Marty! It’s safe to say without those early videos of yours I would never have been in a position to start out in this hobby. Your thorough explanation of your processes set me away on a journey I never before thought possible. All the best mate and here’s to many more, cheers!

[@ml10737]

Love the superimposed picture of the real vehicle to compare the toy, please continue to do that. Keep the working hands, it’s a testament to your hard work and efforts. Thanks for the videos.

[@F4collector]

[@robphillips1797]

[@jesterger]

Well done, Marty! It lurned out lovely in the end. A blind man would be happy to see it.

[@varunnayar7199]

Great job Marty! This video was special for me as I have the same model. Mine has been with me from 1961 and in spite of having been played around with, still in reasonable shape. Congratulations on completing five years. Way to go, Marty!

[@mitallerperu2306]

Quedo muy bonito gran trabajo felicitaciones

[@philb2085]

I'm new to the hobby but I do like restoring the older Matchboxes? Nice to not have to worry about the condition of the windscreen/windows and they're mostly beautiful little models.

[@judebrad]

Marty would make a great newsreader with his dulcet tones.

[@a11csc]

nice one marty congrats on the 5 years

[@hoodgarage6130]

Hi Marty Very nice Restoration 👍

Thank you so much 😀

[@crazytornadoguy]

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers you're very welcome. I've been a fan for roughly 4.5 of those 5 years. Here's to 5 more amazing years of awesome restorations 🍻

[@pauldarke8024]

Another great video Marty.

[@GREGLUCAS-u4f]

Great restoration Greg in Canada 🇨🇦. Thanks. 😊

[@BrooksMoses]

Congratulations on five years! The model looks quite nice indeed, and is an illustration of your skills that have come with all the practice.

[@marksixofone4104]

Great makeover Marty, happy 5th for the chanel. In the UK I think we call the locking pliers Mole Grips.

[@darrenerickson1288]

Wow, that really is such a pretty van for, as you say, such simplicity! Thanks for doing it!

[@tnutter2971]

Love these makeovers!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Glad you like them!

All this talk of tea reminded me to bring in my sun tea. (It's dark out now.)

[@ceciljohnson3829]

another fine build Marty

[@GermanNightmare1976]

That's a lovely little tea delivery van and it turned out great!

[@matthiasbode9737]

Thx for posting the srews you use....

[@donrebel1340]

Congratulations....Great job Marty

[@bobbybaggers]

Marty your videos are ace! Never get bored I could watch these on a loop all day they're so relaxing. Need to have a word with Kevin over his choice of Tetley "tea", there's only one tea and that's Yorkshire. Best in t'world. Best wishes from England. Take care mate

[@rolandbogush2594]

Excellent, Marty - I remember that model from when I was a boy in the 1960s. Nice to see you return it to looking like new!

[@davidbutterfield2949]

Congratulations on 5 years Marty. Another excellent job 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@jebsails2837]

Thank you for five great years of relaxing (for the watchers) videos. Narragansett Bay

[@wintersbattleofbands1144]

Small models require a finer mist, not something you often find in large paint cans. This model is perfectly adorable. Not boring at all. Lots of play value, unlike half of the HotWheels from the last 20 years that are freaked out weirdos only good for the track, and sometimes unsuitable for that.

[@mikecostello1727]

Absolutely worth it❤😊

[@justbuggin67]

Congratulations on 5 years! Such a beautiful model

[@ccastaneda669]

Great job Marty, definitely worth a video.👍♥️

[@1D991]

Happy 5 years Marty! Thanks for another great restoration~

Happy Anniversary, Marty! Thanks for all your hard work making sure that we're all "happy with that"! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@moogoomoogoo5990]

Very nice outcome. Great looking model.

[@lostonwallace1396]

I enjoyed this one, Marty! This isn't a model that I currently have in my collection, but I need to find one! Happy Anniversary!

[@philipbrazill2155]

Came out excellent. Good job as always Marty

[@eisbaerbel]

I really like your videos, and you did a great job on this one. Being honest, I liked the model better before the refurbish was done. It was shabby, but it was original. But that's just my point of view. You are an expert on working on these, and you are always preserving a piece of history, thanks for this...

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

Good job mate, cheers Graham

[@drealean]

Congratulations Marty with 5 years of Makeovers. This last video is a new example of your superbe work. Thanks Marty😊🎉

[@zeeamja1]

Happy 5th anniversary off your channel, really hope you do more bus restoration.

[@51pogo]

#47 was actually may first pick as a Matchbox model, along with #17 light green, the neighbor kid had the (now rare) light blue one!, I think I chose them because I thought they liked more like US vans! Nice job on #47!

[@SteelRaptor17]

Always glad to see a new Marty's video popping up in my feed, restoration videos are nice and therapeutic. My wife gets a kick out of your tabloid headlines...😅

[@Andreas-du7eg]

There are crazy people in Australia using to shave other peoples pussies!

[@umbertoyltp]

The early Matchbox models are still the most rewarding in a makeover, with a bit of Tamiya paint and a silver Sharpie.

[@edfletcher2404]

Loved the video as always. Happy 5th Anniversary!

[@andrewmason8292]

Marty always enjoy the videos congratulations on 5 years on the channel cheers

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Wonderful job and video as always thanks Marty! I always though Kevin was a Koala. I didn’t realize he was a pig.

[@bradleygill6683]

The truck look great
