Matchbox was big during the 1970s and so was the hobby of building plastic scale model kits. You know what else was big at the time? People's interest in World War 2. There were so many manufacturers of model kit competing for buyers. And just about the best way to sell a model was to have a dramatic and theatrical battle scene depicted on the box cover. No one was better at this than the incredible artist, Roy Huxley. Join me on a nostalgic journey back through time and relive some of the glorious, golden years of plastic model kits and their artwork. What the hell, it only takes about 9 minutes of your time. How's that compare to the 15+ hours that it took me to make this bad mama-jama. XOXO, Bob

The artwork of Roy Huxley... immortal and timeless... so very true... the same goes for many other plastic models... what survives is the oil painting for the box art

Loved Matchbox kits for the fact they offered unusual subjects, like the Krupp Boxer and the Wespe. For 1/72 they were super detailed.

Very good video . The 60's and 70's were a great time to be a kid and collecting , assembling and painting models was an important part of that . As a sidenote l have been buying the Revell reissues of these classic little kits and as a 70 year old still retain the same excitment and enthusiasm for them l had in the past . Happy days and memories . (loved Airfix kits too brought with my pocket money from our local Woolworth . )

Had the Wespe and the Sd Kfz 251, possibly my favourite kit as a kid. The dioramas were inspiring and led to much larger efforts!

Building plastic models IS cool.....just sayin. 😂 Thanks for the return to the '70s and '80s, I enjoyed building a lot of these kits and flicking through the catalogues until they were worn through. Sad that they are mostly gone now, a few have been released under the Revell label though. Roy Huxley's artwork was sensational, certainly sold me on more than a few kits! Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed this.

Loved your video, Bob. Will be looking for that Roy Huxley book too. Have the silver King Tiger still as as well as the golden Sherman and the middle green metalic M553 Sheridan, hahahah. Only the Chieftain and self propelled Gun have "normal" colors it seems. Slowely recollecting the Matchbox armour kits through reissue and have refound some of their planes too.

Thank you. I needed a lift today which your nice comment provided. The only battle kings I have is The tanker (like the Texaco K16) I hope you have a great week. Thanks again. Bob
