Marty's Matchbox Makeovers

Күн бұрын

I obtained this model from the Geelong Vintage Market in Victoria, AUSTRALIA! It was packed into a disposable food container with a bunch of other makes of models, including a couple of other matchbox cars. I paid $25 AUD for the lot.
This model was one that I had always wanted as it was so unusual with it's six wheeled chassis, and I needed it to complete my 'BP' model set. I now have one to go and my set will be complete.

Probably one of those "keep it original" jerks. I bet they're concerned about its "value" (worthless in such condition, no matter what the price guides say). That, or they think that every old toy is a priceless cultural artifact and that restoring it is an affront to the company that pumped out millions of the things as cheaply as possible just a few decades ago. Screw the price guide commandos, and screw those that would rather see something rot away than be brought back to life and enjoyed for another 50 years.

You had it all: Fortean rains of fish, cryptids, lizard people, UFOs, all that kind of wonderful Illuminated bullshit, and all of it invented whole cloth. Unfortunately, the publisher decided that doing hit pieces on celebrities and pushing his political agenda were more important than actually entertaining people, so he axed it.

This caught my eye because last week I found an old box from my childhood. Three little wheels rolled out. They were from a No.61 Alvis Stalwart I bought new when I was a kid. The matchbox was there inside its original box. At the time, I played with both, so they were a little worse for wear, but are still pretty nice. I know this because now it is sitting on my desk as I type. I don't have many of those cars from my childhood left, so to see you restore this one made my day. Now to find three little wheels

Your monitor is providing transmitted colours using RGB, your printer is creating reflected colours using CYMK, and what you really need to do is calibrate your monitor and your printer so that they are somewhat consistent with each other's colours. But the gear to calibrate these things is a bit pricey. So get a selection of colour wheels with a variety of shades and print that out on your printer. Then choose the output colour (from the print out) that you'd like the decal to be and use that to create the decal regardless of what it looks like on screen as you are making it. www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.aspwww.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp

That glue spill reminds me of the many times I did that myself. The BP Exploration Stalwart vehicle was always my favorite Matchbox die cast. I can't remember how many I bought as a kid but that and all of the BP vehicles were great. You really did this the justice it deserves. Great job and thanks for sharing this.

Absolutely loved this video. Many thanks for rescuing that wee Alvis. I remember having it as a kid. I was 9 in 1966 so probably added it to my collection when it was first released. These were actually die cast scale models of real vehicles and me and my mates had shed loads of them. What do kids play with today? Heaps of plastic junk.
