MATCHBOX Restoration No 16c Scammell Mountaineer Snow Plough 1964

I got this snow plough in a job lot of messed up cars. I had my eye on this one as I thought that it was a nice looking model with stunning contrast with it's colours. The large white and orange snow blade made it a unique, stand out show piece, that would look great in my collection of restored vehicles.
Another Matchbox Lesney model restored to near new condition.

I have had a couple of hours of enjoyment watching you passionately and skillfully restore these old Matchbox cars. When I was a child I collected Matchbox cars and had somewhere in the range of 400 plus cars. The cars were given away by a family member without my permission and I lost them forever. Watching you restore these precious little toys has been fascinating and quite the trip down memory lane. Thank you so much!

Glad to hear that you are getting something out of my videos. More to come.

[@tomsenior7405]

@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers I love your sense of humour. Toothbrush, Tank, Outtakes et al. The reason for my interest in your show? My brother bought all these Matchbox toys when we were little kids. He never took them out of the box to play with them. They now live in my Display Cabinet - still unopened and "Mint-In-Box". (I can not bring myself to open the boxes). In short, despite now owning the originals, I have never actually seen them - other than from the Box Artwork. Seeing them on your show in such fascinating detail is just wonderful. As a keen, lifelong modeller myself, I really appreciate the challenges you face in restoring these little classics. I am looking forward to your next restoration. Best Wishes.

As always the bladed dump truck is utterly fantastic, the return of the tank is a cute touch. Thank you

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

That's great! - Thank you for watching

[@morgangoetz2307]

I would recommend that you start with the paint stripper first, but then follow up with the sand blaster, as the two may help with the final product. Been noticing that on a few, there was tiny bits of paint left over in nooks and very hard to get corners.

[@jaksilver3656]

that was my thought too.

[@morgangoetz2307]

Jak Silver right? It does the job well, and I think the quality of the sandblaster may not be the best. Wish is cheap, but not the best of quality products.

This one was in a very bad state and turned out magnificent. A joy to watch the result slowly appear.

[@jonwilliams40]

I wondered what the hell it was that crept past while you were test fitting the screw but then I saw the spray booth newspaper headline, very funny. That was a water slide transfer nightmare, what caused that? The snow blade looked great in the end. Loved the outtake of you trying to cut the axle, they certainly made them kid proof. This is a beautiful model, one of my favourites so far and a great addition to your collection. Loving these vids, keep em coming and thanks.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks T6 comments like that show that people like yourself have a genuine interest in what I do, it makes it all worthwhile and I thank you for your support,

[@manda60]

Old decals. I am a railroad modeler, and it happens a LOT. Decal film breaks down over just a few years. Sometimes you can coat them with a bit of acrylic varnish first, and they will hold together. Most of the time, when they start cracking apart... throw them out. It isn't worth the hassle if possible. For some reason, Microscale decals seem particularly prone to this.

[@TheRealColBosch]

@@manda60 Ugh, I had that happen with my Microscale decals years ago. I ended up throwing them all out.
