MATCHBOX Restoration No 15c Refuse Truck 1963

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Hey everyone, sorry this was out a little later than normal, super busy week!

[@薛世世]

Hey, I am your Taiwanese fan. I really like your video. Thank you.

[@ZacVaper]

No worries. Always a pleasure to watch and very funny. The painted petrol tank cap was a nice touch.

[@NORCALWRECKCHASER]

With all the deadlines and constant "go go go" in life, I find a strange moment of calm in your vids of the toys of my youth, Thank You.

[@ShaneChandler87]

I'm sure we forgive you. But don't let it happen again.

[@macfain2000]

@@ZacVaper Thanks for pointing that detail out.

[@TheWacoKid1963]

That's what I like to see, Similar channels sharing their knowledge instead of competing against each other, Well Done guys.

[@dungtrumpet5490]

A new Marty video is always a highlight of my week.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

So glad to hear from a fan! - Thanks, Marty.

[@andyandarius]

Couldn't have agreed more.

[@lostonwallace1396]

Excellent work, Marty! You put those decals on without a hitch! The finished product is fantastic! I really admire the refuse workers we have here in the States. Here in NC, they have not missed a single trash pick-up day during the Covid-19 Crisis, and they are obviously exposed to greater risks than other essential workers. They are brave and awesome individuals who have my total respect.

Hi there, this is John in Leeds, West Yorkshire in England, when i was a young man, I worked on Leeds city council bin wagons and thats identical to the ones i used to work on and they were called a screw bin wagon and they did not compact it in the modern way we do it today, keep on the good work, I enjoy watching you.

[@tonym3718]

Thank you Marty this brings back memories of Match box toys I had forgotten that I had. Happy days, limited only by imagination.

[@Hoopsflynn]

I love the restoration and the conclusion about putting the truck back into service. Wonderful videos and great sense of humor. Please keep them coming

[@vimalkumar3815]

Love to watch repair works. You always gives new life to dead toys. Beautiful

[@forthelulz9165]

I'm not interested in matchbox cars since childhood. But find very satisfied when watching the restoration with your comment. A lot of effort you put into this job. Well done Marty.

[@waynemoore7159]

Hi Marty, Another Top job and presentation, good lighting, good camera angles, no hands or fingers blocking our view and more giggles to boot, so enjoyable, also that you acknowledge the need to show us each process of the refurbishment of the model each time, they are all different in their own way. Onward and Upward. 👍🏻

[@JeffsTravels]

These Marty videos are therapeutic. It's nice to see a job completed and is fun to watch.

[@justinmyslive4108]

I love your comical antics. They add something to your videos and make me chuckle

[@davidinark]

I love the little stories and the Vignette that you add to the end of the videos featuring the restored model. Nice touch as always! And, of course the humor throughout the video is second to none.

[@jennyelliottbrown6680]

Fascinated by your make overs..... but riveted by the headlines on the newspapers on your work station. " half alligator half human captured alive??? " wow !!!

[@davidkalinowski3959]

I really like your sense of humor, that make you different compared to other. Thumbs up Marty!

[@Animus1539]

Thanks for the weekly installment of fun relaxing "watching someone else work" video! I believe the hole in the front ( 1:05 ) is for clearing rubbish that may become stuck inside ( for instance when a child plays with it - wierd, I know, right? playing with it? ) since it might get tricky depending what was forced in there. Have a great week! Can't wait for the next video!

[@minutemark]

"...my tool is a little bit worn out." I hear there is a pill for that. Great job matching the paint color--and for that matter, the whole restoration is top notch!

[@gunnersmate7482]

-Sunday morning - fireplace - coffee - family dog - Marty Video - life is great

[@zpt-pi2zr]

Thanks Marty for sharing another amusing restoration video. Keep up the great work and keep them coming.

[@MoYvStarkey]

Marty! What have you been doing to your hands? Wrangling Wombats? Take care of your hands. Go for a mani-pedi. Your soul will feel better. Lotion is your friend. Take care of your hands. Love the restorations.

[@Retired_Gentleman]

That little 1963 refuse truck has had quite the journey in its life. From England to America to Australia.

[@kenwinston2245]

Every one you show jars my memory... ohyeah...i had that one, i destroyed it... amazing any made it out in one piece, they certainly got played with. I find your calm voice and background music quite soothing. These shows are part of my nighttime routine off to sleep thank you

[@rodrigomiranda7844]

Im from Brazil... I started watch this channel in 2019 and i cant stop. Congratulations for you job.

[@Rawad.R.Farhat]

Thank you for your great videos I really enjoy watching you custom all of these matchbox’s your so talented

[@stokeburner6730]

You always do such a good job. Its hard to realize how much trouble it is to do something like this unless you have done it yourself. It makes you appreciate it a lot more. You should let us see your display one day. I think it would be cool. If this gig doesnt work out you can always become a comedian. So you got that going for you. LOL Thanks for the show.

[@terryclark7864]

Good way to spend some time on a cold wet afternoon here in eastern England. Thanks Marty

[@PatGilliland]

Sunday morning coffee and another great makeover form Marty - Life is good.

[@chargoldsmith5651]

What an astounding restore..... You and Time Rider are my favorite you tubers..... Thanks again mate....

[@garryhammond7616]

Always liked this model. Smashing job as normal.......great outakes.....thanks Marty. Regards Garry UK

[@GrandmaandGrandpa33]

As usual a terrific restoration. In fact, I think this is the best one yet. I was afraid I had somehow missed this week, but, thankfully, I got to watch it this morning and I am very glad for that. Great job, Marty.

[@roastawk]

I had -- and might still have in my attic -- that very model! Thanks for showing me a great restoration can do!

[@westonward735]

The truck looks great. I have never seen that vehicle before, it's very unique. Thanks for the comedy relief. I look forward to every video.

[@vitorcruz8165]

I had one of these when I was a kid. You did a fantastic restoration work, congratulations!

[@daftboy11]

Great work Marty. I love the little bits of humor you put in your videos !!

[@tambrath]

Another great project looks better then it did new . Was getting worried I had missed this weeks then it popped up . Well done Marty and thank you . Looking forward to the next one

[@myuastella5659]

Hey Marty thanks for the videos. And greetings from Massachusetts. Your videos made me start remolding my own matchboxes. Since its winter and I need a new hobby. It’s great for my son too. My cars don’t look like yours yet but I got something to thrive for thanks Marty. Keep the videos coming.

[@ianellis3227]

Another great video, all condensed into less than 20 mins with added humour too, really do enjoy them brings some good memories back

[@ketoking9435]

Super restore,,,my parents got me one of these early 70s on a day trip to Boulogne France,,,this vid brought back great memories,,,, Have a super Sunday and Thanx for a great vid,,

[@wrbergner]

Another beautiful classic rebuilt!!! Hope your hand was rebuilt too!!!

[@brianhudson7811]

Always impressed when you paint the trim.. looks effortless.

[@wthrmnpechin1015]

Glad I stayed awake for this production Marty. It's 0200 hrs. here in chilly Indiana. Great work as always. And a good chuckle. Very enjoyable.

[@davelane6176]

as usual another great job Marty . this was another of my childhood cars.i used to spend ages playing with my toy cars in the garden during the summer months.hope your hand gets better soon

[@SteelRaptor24]

I enjoy having your video to watch when I get up every Saturday morning 😌

[@jenijin51]

love it how you put some humour in the videos. Thankyou for making my day sir.

[@MrVolvobloke]

Great episode ! Love the boomerang gag, was waiting to see when than came back ! I like the fact you restore the more unusual models that no-one else seems to. That little truck looks superb.

[@numanaus]

I find it very relaxing watching these videos. Every new restoration brings back childhood memories.

[@aceadman]

Marty on a Sunday afternoon.... I always return. Like a boomerang.

[@markmiddleton1772]

I enjoy your vids as most of the cars you have done I used to play with as a small boy wish I could find them now n traet them to a make over. thanks marty

[@mikes.4136]

You brought it back to life! It’s wonderful watching you overcome unforeseen obstacles with frustration and then a laugh. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@harryballzack]

Looks so much better with the grill and headlights painted. Boomerang was a funny bit. LOL

[@domingosribeiro1283]

O bumerangue foi fantástico 😂😂😂😂👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@davidbale8495]

I knew the boomerang was coming back, but didn't know when. And when it did, it caught me by surprise. ROFLMAO. So well done. Timing was perfect.

[@axelwulf6220]

I love how in each episode there's a gag and/or gimmick just to show that he's not a stuck up model restorer Anyone who has a good sense of humor is always good in my book

[@pebblesthecat3625]

"Half alligator half human found in Florida swamp" captured alive. I don't know how you think them up Marty but they have me in stitches every time. I look forward to seeing this bit in the video because I know I will be left in stitches laughing. Nice one mate. Greetings from Liverpool, England 🇬🇧. Keep up the great videos as I so look forward to them each week.

[@amboutube]

Another cracking makeover .. a matchbox a year younger than me.. I had one too... in uk we called this a bin lorry or rubbish lorry.. you asked about the pin hole.. I seemed to remember it was to use a toothpick to push out something I had stuffed in and wouldn’t come out!

[@mayormc]

This is great. I remember having this model when I was 4 years old.

[@CarloPagan]

Grazie Marty per averci regalato un altro dei tuoi stupendi video. Sei un grande!!

[@sohosohigh]

A little tip regarding the grey primer, if you get a matte grey primer it is much easier to see imperfections. Love the show Marty, you are very seteling to watch :)

[@CarlJones14]

14 hours after you posted. Busy bee. Great job. Amazed the friction block still works. Hope your hand is okay or more to the point, you are. 👍

[@markheppell2643]

Great show Marty. I always look forward to your next restoration.

[@Docdug]

Marty - this is one of my absolute favorite Matchbox! My first one broke just behind the cab ☹️. I recently picked one up at a antique mall for a couple dollars. The labels are nearly perfect but 5he paint is a bit rough. Anywho thanks for posting up another throughly entertaining video. I especially like the bloopers at the end. Cheers, Doc

[@Fed2thewolves]

Well Marty. I think you have done another amazing job. I'm not sure what I like the best, the renovation of the model, or the skits you put in the video. I knew the boomerang was going to come back when you threw it, but sure enough I forgot about it until it came back, and honestly thought there was something wrong with the audio for a second.... I love it... I don't know what's worse, the fact that I knew the joke was coming, and didnt expect it, or the fact that I expected the joke but forgot it was coming. Keep making me smile, please. I really enjoy watching.

[@alexanderplatz3568]

Great job again Marty , good choice of vehicle ....👍👍

[@larryperez4789]

You said that is what the Professional do got let you know this but you are a professional restorer. You are great

[@TisBestinDiecast66]

Well just have to say Marty , another spot-on resto of a classic Matchbox. Always love the humour and it always inspires me to get a move on and get restoring my rather extensive haul of Matchbox myself. This will get going after I get my Heart fixed which is how I discovered your channel whilst I have been off work since August 2018 awaiting an op. Your vids are enjoyable ,informative , educational and on most occasions dangerous to my health as I roll about in uncontrollable laughter. Cheers Mate and much Admiration from that rare beast a ' non-whinging Pom'.

[@allanadam4553]

Marty needs to retake the official Australian Boomerang exam or face extradition to the wastes of the Outback. Begin with reciting, When I throw it, it will return 1000 times😁👍 Keep amazing me with these unique vehicles you come up with! Didn’t own many myself but played with most you have redone.

[@willienolegs8928]

Another good job Marty. We in the states became too independent and lost our English. No one here would ever call a trash truck company a “cleansing service”. Mend well.

[@raymonde4272]

Great restoration on an unusual looking model. Hope that your hand heals well and that you are more careful with saws in the future.

[@sonofjack4938]

You have just reminded me of one of my favourite English comedians, Charlie Drake and his 1961 song My boomerang won't come back, just listened to it again, made me laugh ! Worth a listen. Keep up the good work.

[@timryan9220]

Great episode Marty! This one brought back happy memories of my childhood, as I had one of my own in the mid 60's. Many, many hours were spent playing with these little gems. Love the outtakes. I like to see you share the fun with your wife and friends. Keep up the good work.

[@alanprivate2402]

Love it Marty, you've inspired me to rescue renovate and rehome by way of the Op Shops I glean diecast toys in my local community. Your vids are a highlight of my week...keep going!

[@ryanwalker1376]

Time Rider shout out from Marty? Too cool!

[@drunkvaderaz]

yeah a shout out for an idea HE stole from wheels n things. i guess when that fake cop says a name over and over he'll get the attention he wants.

[@stinch2]

Another Marty's Matchbox Makeover video. I'm happy with that.

[@robertshemory5094]

. Hello from America Marty. Excellent work 👍👍👍👍

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Another excellent makeover Marty! I enjoyed the rest of the shenanigans as well as the 'main attraction'! :-)

[@steveburrows6079]

Very nice again cobber just woke up to this one it’s 06.00 am here watching this before I go fishing ,

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Great Steve, hope you get a good catch when your out!

[@Peckwesterlo1]

Hey Marty; Just wanted to say, another great restoration. And hope the hand heals well. Keep applying coconut oil to reduce the scar.....

[@MDarkSide]

Hi Marty, I'm watching your vids regularly. A little tip from a long time modeller, you dont need mark setter and softer on flat surfaces, save it for complex ones. If you want to protect the decals, use clear cote over it. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@beamer6136]

As always another great video from Marty... Thank you

[@brissyboy7164]

Looks awesome i like the contrast of the grey on the blue thumbs up

[@martinbeneteau309]

Wonderful job Marty. Love the boomerang bit!

[@jamesdodd8731]

Marty, your extras at the end of this video were very funny! I love watching your videos.

[@ericwoytasek269]

Marty is the Jay Leno of Matchbox cars.

[@kjamison5951]

Marty, another marvellous media masterpiece! Thank you! The hole in the tipper body is likely to aid the removal of the body from the mould. The lack of a draw angle and the smooth interior would likely have caused a suction effect. The hole allows air to enter and makes demolding much faster. The “hydro sleeve” is possible short for ‘hydraulic sleeve’ - the ripper would have been activated by hydraulic ram and the outer jacket of the ram sleeves the inner piston. Hope your hand gets better soon!

[@genes.4990]

Marty, I was sitting here waiting for another MMM edition when a boomerang crashed through my window. I think you owe me a new one. Thanks a lot, from Minnesota, USA.

[@ultraokletsgo]

Hey Marty, thought I'd give you some info on Mr. Mark Softer and when and why it would be used. If you ever need to put a decal on an uneven surface, for example one with a lot of ridges, the Softer will make the decal super malleable and soft so it will conform to the ridges and peaks of the model. Basically ensuring it gets into every nook and cranny. Another scenario where it needs to be used is on old decals that have been sitting around for many years and the adhesive and decal have become rigid and prone to cracking. A lot of old vintage model kits have decals that require a softer to freshen it up since they could be a few decades old. There's also a Mr. Mark Setter which is useful for when you've soaked the decal too long and the adhesive has diluted too much. As its name suggests, it helps set the decal.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Great information, and thank you so much for taking the time to post. Marty.

[@MrChief101]

NICE little inspirational pic of 007 with his favorite car!

[@BWHW1977]

I have one of these but somebody painted it camo, probably in the 80s. Another great restoration!

[@vanceguerena8889]

Great job as usual I love your comedic touches

[@film49uk]

another great job Marty and liked the boomerang .....keep them coming

[@johnmcdermottxd92]

All I could do was wonder about that half alligator half human 😂😂😂 another excellent video as always!

[@thomasheroux3146]

Very nice! Well done Marty. Cheers from Texas!

[@dimarscars329]

The restoration came out great. I have that same model too, in a similar shape as the one you started with, it's among the oldest in my collection.

[@danwinchell8716]

Smart looking lorry Like the idea of have all the "pins" facing the same direction, good side....better side

[@Snaffle]

Half alligator half human! Great job Marty :)

[@Trev0r98]

I love your videos. I always get a good laugh and learn something!

[@johnkelley9877]

Beautiful restoration! You always do an excellent job. Thanks for sharing this.

[@tommay631]

My favourite one so far .Boomerang killed me. Missed Kevin. Some custom windows for this model may be in need.

[@mustangbob51]

another for the museum. probably your best one yet!
