Are you inferring that i am a homosexual?

My wife doesn’t get why I watch your videos so much. Your channel is a break from all the other “noise” in life, your voice is relaxing, and the sprinkling of humor is perfect! Thanks for all the videos!

Suffering from Marty withdrawals (as usual) I watched this again and was just as transfixed as I was the first time out. I absolutely love the background music, which I have downloaded and is now the background music for my life.

I've got one of these models but it's blue. Marty's dad jokes are the best. Love the strategically placed skull and cross bones, and the guinea pig eating neighbour. Car restoration is awesome too.

Marty gets a like before I even start the video

Holy cow. Outstanding intro. I love this model. Doors AND trunk. One of the most animated models they ever produced. The doors were sealed for the Superfast run. Kevin is out of control, Marty. It's time to put your foot down and get him into a 12 step program.

This was a great model from Matchbox, with all it's things! - Kevin can be a problem at the moment I think he is growing up now!

I had 100's of these cars when I was young. All of them are now gone. Although I would have loved taking the time to restore them now. I'm 55 now. Amazing work Marty!!!

Number one reason I watch your channel is because of the builds. A close second is the headlines of the papers you line your booth with. One of the first things I look for when you start painting. Those are great....

I remember being a kid and i watched an old program where this British bloke bought old well used rusted cars and totally restored and repaired it! I used to sit paralyzed to the TV watching even tho I had no idea what’s happening of anything about cars. Thanks for bringing that feeling back with you channel man!

The detail Matchbox put into the door interior is amazing. People talk about German craftsmanship, this takes second to no one.

Oh Marty you blitzed that scaling! Well done

Aside from not having all of the tools that you have, your presentation appropriates the process in such a simple and inviting manner.

It makes me happy to see these old toys restored to their former beauty. Taking something old and damaged, making it nice again.

Awesome job! The special effects at the beginning made me smile. You rock! Kevin clearly needs a month in rehab.

Although I am not into the car collection or restoration hobby, I really enjoy your videos! You also share tips that can be applied to other crafts as well! Keep up the awesome work!

This and a Greyhound bus were the first two Matchbox vehicles that i bought with my own pocket money. We were on holiday near Loch Lommond in Scotland. To see you restore this car is a great pleasure. Nice work.

Marty, you never disappoint me. You are HILARIOUS with your light bulb... and the liner paper in your paint booth! Thank you!!!

LOL! I needed this today. And keep an eye on Kevin, he's running with the wrong crowd.

Awesome video Sir. You did a great job restoring that car! I also loved the green paint. Beautiful finished product. And the comedy was hilarious! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing

This guy is hilarious, just love the ongoing story with Kevin and friends. Thanks for the the laughs Marty, very much needed these days.

I love Marty's little Easter eggs and jokes he throws into his videos. Makes them all the more enjoyable.

Wow Marty you've really lifted the production quality of your vids!!! Not that they were lacking before (ha) but some of your speed changes and fades were very impressive, not to mention that intro which was by far the best from anyone! Thanks mate and please keep it coming. :-)

Marty, always enjoy your restoration videos. Hope you had a pleasant vacation. I really liked the intro, very clever, hope you use it more. And, omg, Kevin had me literally laughing out loud! Cheers from Upper California, USA.

Brilliant use of green screen. Love it! Here's a couple of extra thumbs up👍👍🏻👍🏽

The model looks like it was just taken out of the box! I love how you were able to put yourself in the video looking over the car and diving it. You have real talent . Thanks for sharing your method of how to make the tool for reforming the mushroom head.

Thanks to your makeovers, I get to see how much detail the vintage matchboxes had. As a kid, I never noticed. :)

Fantastic special effect to blow the car up to your size... nice video work! Nice to see Kevin again.. even if he having too much fun. After seeing your success with the Tamiya acrylics, I am about to try some out in my trusty Iwata.. on a NOS vintage 1950s Revell 2 ton Chevy truck kit in 1/48

Bloody brilliant. I was pissing myself inside the first few seconds!

I haven't seen a video I haven't liked Theres funny clips with Kevin and Marty.accidently drinking brake fluid.The best thing I enjoy is how good he knows his equipment and the knowledge he uses.Great work sir!
