I welcome the comment, thanks.

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!

@@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.

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.

Love the tank rumbling around in the background plus Tank clue on the newspaper.

As the comedian Bob Hope was fond of saying; "Tanks , for the memories!"

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.
