Spectacular work, Marty! As for the different brands of toy cars, I don't tune in because of Matchbox. I tune in to see the love and exceptional work you give these models. WELL DONE!

Well done Marty! I suspect most of your viewers would agree with the following: We don't watch your videos for a specific brand of model. We watch for the love, craftsmanship and humor you apply to each and every restoration. Please keep it going and don't fret a bit over who made a particular model, because for the most part that is not relevant! Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents with us.

Yup, Station Wagons in the USA Marty. It is the first car i was aware of after being born. When my father junked our 1968 Buick Station Wagon, me and my brothers and sisters were so attached to it that we all cried as it was being towed away. We begged my father to bring us to visit it in the junk yard, and every time we went there was less and less of it until one day the man told us it was crushed and sent to Japan to make toasters. lol We were eccentric kids.

@fepatton 11 месяцев назад

Love it! Corgis were a big part of my childhood. My grandparents would often give me a Corgi vehicle for my birthday or Christmas. My favorites were a hook and ladder fire truck and a tow truck. The working details were so fantastic! Hope to see you do more of them. Nice bonus with the paint shop clip!

@madison9582 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic video. I've had my Taurus Wagon for 31 years. I love driving it. I love station wagons. I wish they would come back.

@ZGryphon Месяц назад

They never left, really. It's just that now they're called "crossovers" and have AWD and lousy ride comfort. :)

The baggage looks to be a suitcase, ladies' travel case, and a hat box.

@jeffdayman8183 11 месяцев назад

The interior "tub" in the Corgi Zephyr looks like it may be a vacuum formed polystyrene part. Vac forming is used for many packaging plastics and also bigger things like kid's pools and body shells for mobility scooters. The tooling for vac forming is much cheaper than for injection moulding, but the parts need some manual labour cleanup and trimming. Paint looks great, and the weld repair on the chassis was top notch. Liked the Large Rooster beer can! Re the newspaper taxi story - the passenger may have thought the car was a Daewoo Dunny! You never know. 8^) Cheers!

@alka9613 11 месяцев назад

Most definitely a vacuum formed interior. I'm surprised that time hasn't caused it to crack even though it's been so well sealed in. Kudos to Corgi and their quality for that, though we perhaps would miss Marty getting or making a vacuum forming rig and showing us how it's done.

@kennethjames9416 11 месяцев назад

Corgi toys were made in Fforestfach in Swansea ,South Wales and in 1962 over 1000 people worked there. Greetings from Wales.

@JS-1983 11 месяцев назад

I don't care what brand of toy you are doing, i'm gonna watch every video anyway 😄👍 Great work as always 😎

@sjhhej 11 месяцев назад

My dad had a Zephyr. White with a red interior. No seatbelts and bench seats. We had great fun sliding about in the back as dad would deliberately fishtail to give us a wild ride!

@jaybradley9083 11 месяцев назад

One of the many things I like about your videos is your willingness to share the setbacks you encounter during some makeovers. This car turned out great.

@robt2151 11 месяцев назад

My father had one of those Zephyr estates in the mid-70s. I had never been a Ford fan but I rather liked it - until it threw a rod two days before Christmas. Thanks for reviving the memory.

@paul-sparky-sparr4160 11 месяцев назад

Well... It's all of our hobby, but it's YOUR show 😉 If you enjoy restoring Corgi, Dinky or other models besides MBs.... (To quote a mate from downunder here...). I'M HAPPY WITH THAT 🤣 Great work, Marty, very elaborate but the result speaks for itself 🤩👍🏼 (It's almost like restoring a real veteran car. Looking for new tyres online, having the paint done by a professional, in a paint shop and even "welding" the chassis... 😉) All in all... JOU (more like WOW) I'm thrilled, clearly both thumbs up for this 👍🏼👍🏼 (One for the work and one for why you do it) Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼 Have a great week to you, Julie, your four-legged-mates and the whole team behind the scene and stay safe and sound. (Of course, KEVIN 🐨 as well) Keep up the good work, mate 😁 Greetings from the DCcoB at the lighthouse end of the Elbe River. 😎👍🏼🇦🇺✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

@drunkmike6364 11 месяцев назад

Excellent job! please do more Corgi's or whatever you want.

@johnmyles1499 11 месяцев назад

Marty thank you for bringing back wonderful memories. Your channel, do what you like. It has become more about your art and process than one brand or the other. Likely it is two golf bags, luggage and a hatbox in the back suggesting someone going on holiday.

@DaimlerSleeveValve 11 месяцев назад

Moving into the big stuff, so it makes sense to use paint from full size motors. Great job!

@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si 6 месяцев назад

When I was a kid, Corgi was the expensive brand. I had, and still have, a Corgi tank that I loved. My son played with it and soon my grandkids will.

@hugobloemers4425 11 месяцев назад

Hi Marty, we (I think I am speaking for most of the audience) do not mind seeing a Corgi restoration. When I was young, I would play also with Corgi cars and really liked them. Even though the vast majority of my car collection where /are Matchboxes.

@williamdeegan7840 11 месяцев назад

Their paint is great. I say it sprays in a fog and not a spray like a can of Testors or Krylon. It seems to cover better . Thinner. Looks great. Nice that you did this .

@losingmyfavoritegame8752 11 месяцев назад

Very sharp. This whole video was cool, especially the part where you got your own custom spray paint!

@jesterger 11 месяцев назад

A fun video to watch, Marty. Nice recovery on your hole blowout. I hate when that happens. The car looked great in the end. One tip I learned when masking a paint job, is to take your strips of tape and stick them to your shirt or pants. This makes the tape less sticky and doesn't pull off the paint as much when unmasking.

@MartysMatchboxMakeovers 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip I will have to try that out.

@misterscaz6011 11 месяцев назад

Love the idea of you doing models other than matchboxs. Had a lot of corgis and Dinkys in my childhood as well as matchboxs.

@lancerevell5979 11 месяцев назад

Here in the US, in my childhood in 1960s/early 1970s, we only had Hotwheels, the British companies just weren't found in our stores. I'm always amazed at the variety of vehicles by Matchbox, Corgi and others.

@davidclark34 3 месяца назад

I'm a Matchbox guy like your good self, but Corgis and Dinkys are worthy models and deserve their shot as well. Just great.

@roberthocking9138 11 месяцев назад

I can’t believe how good the wheels are on that model after all these years, either good chrome or stainless steel maybe ? Great job

@titiparisien5915 11 месяцев назад

Nice one, Marty. Our next door neighbour used to have one of those parked in our narrow 'pit houses' back street back in the 70s. just about filled the road. All the best from County Durham, England.

@tyler2610 11 месяцев назад

Yes Marty, here in the US we do call those station wagons. From the 50’s to the early 80’s they were the top choice of the middle-class family. You could choose from the huge American full-size all the way to tiny sub-compact models. Many of the upper line models had a vinyl wood decal on the sides and were referred to as “woodies.” Unfortunately they were replaced by the more efficient mini-van and then later the SUV. To me the station wagon was a lot more special and had a lot more character than especially the mini-van which has fortunately largely died out as well now replaced by SUVs and the more ubiquitous crossover. I owned one station wagon myself a 1990 Buick Estate, it was the Cadillac of wagons with leather seats, touch climate control, and the soft boulevard ride big American cars were known for. It also had the rear facing third seat in the back which many kids remember fondly of these behemoths😁

@blueboyhotwheelsandmore869 11 месяцев назад

That was cool, it looked like a 61' or 62 ford falcon Ranchero in front of that paint Store I'm sure there is a lot of falcons over in Australia, 63' falcon sprint convertible was my first car, a lot of times my favorite part of your videos is the paint booth I always look for those news stories always something funny and silly, that corgi gave you a challenge but it came out nice, I know I don't have that casting but I have a old school Volo estate that looks a little like it, that interior looks really fragile I'm surprised it didn't have cracks kinda like the plastic you get out of a food products like oreos or box of chocolates, doesn't matter i don't think what brand you restore, your mostly matchbox but it's fine to try other flavors, do what you like doing, taking a break is the smartest thing other wise you might get burnt out of it, I noticed when you make videos you put a decent amount of time and effort into them it pays off, I know you moved and have been busy, your location land and house is great, peace joy happiness and can focus better, looks like you have a good life with years to come, very awesome indeed.
