I buried a friend of 31 years today. Having this video to come to and enjoy. It made the day the day feel better. Thanks marty

I wanted to write to you for some time now.While I had my mother in a 11 day coma in the hospital with a stroke and terminal cancer (my sunshine sadly rested in peace...💔) YOU were a truly sanctuary of comfort for me especially in the late long hours sitting beside her.God bless you man! Greetings from Athens,Greece

I have a soft spot for the old VW van. When I was fresh out of high school I worked as a courier for a large business in my home town. They gave me a VW van and all day I'd drive packages around between offices. The best part of it was that I got to take the van home at night and on weekends for my own use. All my friends loved it, and it was a blast to drive around town. The one I drove was white on the top and dark green on the bottom, which happened to be the exact colors of the company (Federated Co-op) in Western Canada. I remember the vans were so nimble and fun to drive. Would love to have one now in my old age.

I’m led to believe the games of ‘hide the sausage’ and ‘who can drink the most beer’ often go hand in hand. Great restorations! Would love to see more old VWs being made over.

Watching you work is always enjoyable.

The best part of the restoration is reproducing broken or missing parts....patience and perseverance....I'm happy with that. Best wishes from Kauai!

Wow! Another outstanding restoration. The canopy support build, very nice. Bush games, whoa!

The green camper is superb

Awesome job Marty. You have given me some inspiration to try and restore some old matchbox cars👍🏽😎

It was a surprise to me that; Marty had just 2 Matchbox toy cars, go through a serious makeover. In spite of the fact that, the toy trailer was the wrong color.

04:00 in the evening in India. Cup of coffee, Marty's makeover video and rain am enjoying everything

They all turned out nice good job done

Back in my youth I had a '65 Omni Bus with the sun top and all of the side top windows. It was VW Blue with white trim and bumpers. Made a lot of fantastic memories in that van. Brilliant job!

What's better than drinking ice cold coffee and enjoying the new Marty's video on a super hot Saturday evening! Awesome!

The table was used as the base of the bed. Wonderful episode, thanks again.

Marty is just a master of matchbox restoration whatever it takes... 3D printing... cutting, sculpting he does it all!!! Incredible!

Nice restore on them all. Very professional. Those soft pastel colors are so 60s lol. That's the one thing I remember about that time. Pastels of the sixties👍

I had the camping caravan in orange original color and the WV caravete in white with light blue stripes on it. Enjoyed playing with them an remember good times from all yuor videos! Thanks a lot!

Hi Marty , what fantastic job you have done on the VW campervan and Caravans very impressed, you are a talented person.

After building a shed all day I am currently in the bath with a beer in hand and watching Marty. Life is good.😁

Bang up job with those colors, Marty. Have a great weekend.

I had all of these models. Good to see them. Long lost favourites.

Great restoration. I remember have the camper many many moons ago. Thanks.

All I can say is wow the detail.

As always, keenly entertaining workmanship. Aces to you.

Excellent. Smithers. Excellent, I 've never seen the campervan, I like the raised roof

What a wonderful job 👌

Well done. Those little added details on the caravette really make it stand out. The edge of the caravan / camper awning is probably scalloped, Bunting would be gathered into that shape. The table and couch /sofa / chesterfield in the caravan would both convert to beds here in the up above. Would probably sleep 4 humans or 4 dozen Kevin's. My Missus complains about putting on one pair of tights. I'd never hear the end of it if she had to put on two pair. Thanks again. Narragansett Bay

An amazing amount of work went into fixing the caravan, but it came out excellent! 🙂

Great restoration, great fun to watch! Thanks, mate!

Beautiful Job Marty.

Wow ! I am really impressed wh your 3-D printer and how it handled making the interior of the caravan. Really good stuff. I reckon the more dosh you spend the better the printer. You've done a spot on job of it.

Marty another amazing job the caravan turned out amazing I love it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good work. The details on the Caravette came out particularly well. The "bunting" is probably a drop down curtain on the caravan. Marty "I can't do this anymore." Mrs. Makeover, unflustered "don't be silly." Hahaha

Excellent job per usual!

I was mesmerized until the Weekly World News came along...LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Great restorations, as always!!

Marty your makeovers just keep on giving, another superb effort. As to the exploding head in a barbers shop, well it nearly happened to me when I was given the bill for a quick trim, especially as I am tonsorialy challenged!!!!

These castings turned out wonderfully. From watching several diecast restorers for a longtime ive found that you, time rider, and diecast ressurection are the top 3 best restorers on you tube your vids are informative and you guys are more detail oriented as well. Thanks for entertaining us

While fishing out of the camper down by the lake, my wife caught a 9 inch Tuna. It was delicious!

They look really good

one of the best restoration videos, Marty. The variety of tecniques you use is astonishing!
