[@PatGilliland]

That's brilliant! ;) I am sure Mrs. Marty will appreciate the extra sparkle in her metal flake foundation.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Ha Ha!

[@stormowl2856]

A great little diorama to showcase this little gem. Well done you captured the atmosphere perfectly.

[@supershifter4836]

Congratulations on your first custom!

[@Donleecartoons]

I especially enjoy watching your restorations of the particular models I had as a young Don Lee.

[@waynesimon2963]

A brilliant job Marty. Love the flashing light addition.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Wayne are you from UK?

[@waynesimon2963]

@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers No Marty I'm a Canadian living in beautiful Nova Scotia. That fire truck overhaul was one of your best. Love the quality and detail you maintain and the flashing light was genius.

[@eugenepolan1750]

Marty, don't forget to put any toothpicks you've used back into the box when you're finished with them.

[@kevinm3428]

Your ingenuity and humor are priceless!

[@bryanharrell6894]

Another great job, and loved the bonus of the flashing blue light.

[@haroldellis9721]

As I recall, we had two of these. Thank you for bring back such fond memories.

[@robertshemory5094]

Excellent work Marty. And lights 👍👍😎

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Rob, they turned out OK ay!?

[@nelsonocasio2462]

Marty, You do an amazing job bringing these cars & trucks back to life. But I must admit I look forward to the outtakes. Thanks for the laughs.

[@fynbo1007]

Very cool with your blue light, beautiful restoration. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

[@ronienrikey]

Watching your videos feels like a video of Bob Ross painting. Keep up the good work!

[@bryanharrell6894]

Another great job, Marty. The blue dome light was a brilliant idea.

[@mercoid]

You’ve really outdone yourself on this one by adding that light. Bravo!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

More Marty's Matchbox magic.

[@MrJCruz79]

Another wonderful makeover. That LED light looks great.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

"I'm 'appy with that!"

[@markdunford3181]

Watching your video from wet, cold England! It takes my mind off the joys of our miserable climate! Top job...a really good watch!😀

[@deltajohnny]

Awesome design and installation of the led light!! 👏👏👏👏

[@icenesiswayons9962]

I had that model and kept it through all my other cars along with a BP wrecker & tanker, they were always there to help the careless drivers. Really great job. Hope to see more!

[@briford55]

Adding the light was a nice touch, loved the description of how you did it at the end of the video.

[@jonprice2605]

Marty does look 6 foot 4 and full of muscle he smiles whilst doing his matchbox makeovers and he eats a vegamite sandwich. I love the makeovers reminds me of my childhood playing with all these cars keep up the good work mate.

[@dvdbytes4348]

That crack actually makes the window look like it has a post in the middle. I kinda like the effect That sculpt looks rather stunningly detailed, unpainted though. Lights in small cars are always cool and the firetruck is big enough to accommodate that massive battery holder.

[@jerryknorr679]

As a firefighter in North Carolina , I like very much how the fire truck came out , nice job.

[@honeybreme5479]

Love the flashing light, very clever of you to use the paint.

[@KentuckyRanger]

The light is pure genius!

[@mikemantho9426]

That’s fantastic! Love the LED idea and the way you’ve implemented it.

[@SimonRML2456]

Just look at you tube now for a new Marty's MB makeovers ...... superb stuff :-)

[@archiebunker6059]

I thought it would be a shame with no light on top, knowing how nice it was going to turn out, then came the 3D printer parts and a working led light, Magnificent Marty Magnificent!!👏👏👏

[@kwstasantwniou243]

Another super restoration finished with excellent results.Good work Marty!

[@AsBobSeesIt]

Great job. As a Matchbox fan and a retired firefighter I loved this restoration. Especially the light installation.

[@mikes5637]

Amazing project and so much subtle humour. Keep em coming, Marty!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

I will try my best Mike!

[@flpnovr2]

I'm digging the blue working light!

[@hillbillypeakgarage6797]

Good job Marty!! Looks brand new

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Really enjoyed this make over mate. The LED was a nice touch.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks, Bryan, appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@ChristopherSmith-bh4sz]

Nice trick with the LED and axle as a switch, ingenious!

[@eugenenumerick5402]

That is awesome how you did the flashing light. I have that same model that was trapped in some cement steps for about 20 years. When we found it we couldn't believe how great shape it was in. No corrosion.

[@ricechex1083]

Love reading the newspapers in the background during the airbrushing, always an interesting headline or two

[@PurpleHelmet]

Fantastic restoration, and that flashing blue light is a superb touch, great video!

[@danielbritton8588]

Bravo on your tools of the trade. I am happy you have gotten a 3-D printer & decal capability. Wonderful.

[@military-vehicles]

Smart solution for the flashing light. thank you 👍

[@chuckkoncewicz4242]

Wow Mate this was a true treasure to watch, good job! The added light was remarkable!

[@martinhightower9801]

God Marty first the wife's tooth brush....... Now her make-up brush and tweezers......Nice restoration/modification. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@DiecastMadness]

LoL, he did say he "found" it 😂

[@daviddayton8181]

Marty great job love the light.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks, Dave.

[@jwcjrcpa]

Nice job mate! I am fairly certain I owned this as a child, roughly 50 years ago. Brought back a lot of memories....thank you!

[@kenwinston2245]

Watching on a hidef widescreen amazing detail shows on these well crafted toys. Brilliant touch with the light 😃

[@357magdad]

Arms grew on the dolphin due to a steady diet of Vegemite! This was one of my favorite makeovers! Excellent work!

[@alphabeets]

You took it to the next level. Well done.

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

A fire truck with a flashing light no less, outstanding!!! Love the hand pressure switch, simply elegant.

[@philipbrazill2155]

That makeover turned out great as does all your other projects. Love the light especially the blue one. Good job mate!

[@jamesdodd8731]

I love the led idea. That was quite clever.

[@diecastRR]

It looks great after renovati 0:20 on. Brilliant modification 👍💪

[@makeminefreedom]

I remember visiting a fire station when I was a young boy in 60's. I saw a similar truck with the most beautiful red paint I had ever seen. This is a great restoration thanks for sharing.

[@gaildavies8380]

Classic model, I got this one as well in my play worn collection. Cool work again Marty, adding 3D printing and making your own transfers to your skills 😀

[@stevehall4548]

I actually have this fire truck at home. As a kid I removed the hose bed, and I don't remember if the ladder or suction hose was on it at the time or not. I am saddened to learn that replacement parts are unavailable for them. It's a semi-pleasure to see what I might have had if I hadn't been so destructive as a child. Thanks for posting this Marty, you did a great job.

[@andyandarius]

I like how the crack in the window ended up giving it a split window look at the end. x)

[@gtv6chuck]

I'm glad you have managed to make it into the Weekly World News. That fire truck came out fantastic!

[@turnout999]

Super work again, love the dolphin with his new arms, and that fancy brush you found is just right for the job. Regards from Geoff in Northern Ireland 😎🚒🚒

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Best brush ever! Thanks for posting Geoff, Marty.

[@5cloudwalker]

It’s always a treat when another episode appears. You are talented, inventive, smart, humorous and a connoisseur of fine dining I must bucket list vegamite to compare it with Marmite ... cheers

[@ianhaynes5898]

Great job with the working blue light.

[@turbolivesinmyheart6328]

I myself couldn't fall asleep tonight. So I thought I would look on KZbin for any new videos. Imagine my surprise when I find one left on here by Marty! That is awesome. Glad there is a difference in time zones between us. Neat little trick with the LED light on top of the cab. Great job as usual.

[@tattoos1988]

Wow an amazing scene quality work

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thank you, I put some thought in to that one!

[@LWilliamsYoutube]

Great work on this fire engine Marty! Your solution for the flashing blue light is very clever. Your craftsmanship continues to improve with every vehicle. I had a fire engine, possibly this same model, when I was a kid, and I loved it.

[@larryburchett9025]

Thank you for the video!

[@valborchardt3596]

Thanks Marty once again for an awesome makeover, you sure know how to do them. Take care as always from South Africa

[@martinsmith8417]

Cool mod on the firectruck too!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Marty from Marty.

[@gclem6132]

I really love the look of this one, very well done sir

[@picknikbasket]

You're a bloody engineering genius, Marty!

[@HmSdeathwish]

love the newspaper headlines

[@birdie399]

Brilliant work especially with the flashing light. Each new project is getting more and more specky.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Birdie399 I am trying to raise the bar a bit each one I do. Any ideas for future content would be good!

[@raytracy8471]

I really like the newspaper you are using at 7:19. You do ‘out strip’ the others.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

I must confess...that was wishful thinking on my part.

[@katlup596]

You're wife must have saintly patience! You make me smile, love your work!

[@MrChugwater]

I spit out my coffee when seeing the headline in the newspaper in the paint-booth. A dolphin with human arms? Good Gravy! We are doomed!

[@k.n.o.3558]

I love the instructions for the light-cool.

[@NitrousDiecast]

The model looks really good, it’s a nice idea you had about making the light actually work too

[@jo7192]

You are awesome I’m sorry to say I lost my Golden retriever and it shattered my heart but thank you so much for your videos

[@StayinZooted]

First baremetalhw then diecast resurrection and now Marty? What a great way to end the Sunday evening

[@stang7043]

Bloody brilliant. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel.

[@mrmanning3807]

DOLPHIN GROWS HUMAN ARMS nice to see the Sunday Sport is in Australia lol. Good work mate keep up the good work make sure we don't lose these models

[@wendywhite4537]

Awesome Fire Pump Truck!

[@normb7114]

Like the headline on the paper "dolphin grows human arms & uses sign language" 😂😂😂 Just an added bonus to a great restoration 👍👍

[@timburnette5914]

Marty once again sir you’ve turned a old matchbox into a new one. Great work sir and I enjoy watching your videos very much. Thank you

[@rm1344]

I'm not into matchboxes at all, I'll never restore any of them but somehow cannot stop watching your vids :)

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

That's weird! But thank you, keep watching!!!

[@BusterBLV]

I’m the same way. Just stumbled across this through a vague interest in vintage toys and military models. Your videos have this calming zen quality to them and have become my favorite and most effective stress relief. Sent my wife a link and she basically said the same, that she couldn’t stop watching and found the vid very satisfying. Same with my kids who could care less about this kind of thing in general but love watching along with me. I guess you are Australia’s answer to Bob Ross. Btw, this is your best work so far. Both from a technique standpoint and the general ‘Martyness’ of it. Thanks so much!!!!

[@jonesfactor9]

Very cool doing the light Clever

[@1D991]

The light was genious.

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Danz!

[@blacknwhitecookie8967]

Absolutely awesome Marty!!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thanks Paul.

[@alexstools]

Awesome craftsmanship once again!

[@leedesigner1977]

Quality job Marty

[@paulonunes7142]

This is customizable and original !!

[@rickzinck9326]

Nice one. The LED is a great addition

[@ASennaFan]

Nice one Marty, love the light mod!

[@JANDLWOODWORKING]

This was a awesome build!!!!

[@batwillow]

For my wife on one birthday a few years ago, I bought her a model of her favorite dream car of all time, an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage V12 in mendip blue (the same car used in the Johnny English films)..... then took her to a "private" showroom to allow her to drive one, she was so happy about that UNTIL, the car dealer refused to take the keys back and I told her it was her car. Good job the Aston Martin workshop where the car was first built and now serviced regularly is only ten miles from us, and they always invite us to their functions and car releases, the present that keeps giving. This Christmas, she is getting a Corgi Hillman Imp in racing green that I have refurbished (your fault Marty !), We had that car when we were first dating 38 years ago. Perhaps she might forgive me for stealing the tweezers, toothbrush and now the other brushes. No chance of her buying my favorite car for me, a corvette sting ray !

[@Atellarion]

I admire your skill every time.

[@apodis4900]

Brilliant idea, lovely job Marty. Great video. 😀

[@55nimrod55]

Nicely Done!

[@MartysMatchboxMakeovers]

Thank you!
