The code word within the video "trump" was simply used as a password for a winner of the monthly patreon giveaway, It in no way means anything other than that. In hindsight I should of used another word, but its hard to keep track of everything that might be offensive, I try my best.

The way you fixed the guides for the axel was sheer genius. Marvelous.

You went beyond the call of duty there, that was only suitable for the bin, and your saved it. 11/10! It's not even the most popular model.

Love the nails....sparkle makes the world go around

A true masterpiece in restoration history! Thanks for sharing this with us, Marty

Extremely clever repair, Marty! You're very good at thinking outside the box, obviously. You're rockin' those nails! The things that we do for our craft...

Love it Marty. You just made my week. It's still very cold in the morning where I live so sitting by the fire watching another Marty restoration is just the ticket. Cheers!

Nobody but Marty would have taken this on one.Love your channel.

What an amazing transformation. It turned out great.

Holy smokes, Marty! You have outdone yourself both in terms of restoring the vehicle and in providing the best laugh-out-loud moments in a video to date! I can’t remember how I found your channel, but thank the Lord above I did. Superb!

Outstanding result. That Scammell really did have "one axle in the bin". You are not afraid to tackle the almost unrestorable.

I owned most of these models in the 60s....so it's nice to see your bringing them back to life.

Marty sacrificing his body for the people and their enjoyment what a guy !!!

Good to have you back from holiday! Surprised how well this one survived under ground - shows how good the matchbox metal is

Marty...not only am I captivated by your ability and skill to restore these old matchbox cars, but I am entertained by your humor while watching! Keep up the awesome videos.

Marty, your makeover was just as impressive as the truck! As a side note, I used to have one of those armored cars when I was a kid. It was a favorite but I forgot all about it until now! For a wonderful moment, I was 6 again...

Great watching Marty, a challenge indeed!

Marty, welcome back, hope you had a splendid vacation ✌!

A true craftsman at his best. The truck looks great and ready to live another life time.

well done best restorastion of nails ever !!!

Good to have you back from holiday.

The axel solution was brilliant. I was wondering what material you where going to use. About the time you said the rivet so did I. What a great idea! Thanks, Marty!

Yay an upload! It's 1am but I shall have to stay up and watch anyway

Lovely restoration, thank you.

This one was one heck of a challenge, eh? You did an amazing job on it!

Holy cow man, you did an outstanding job. Thanks for sharing

One of the best restorations I've seen you do yet, Marty!!!

Marty, as a person who likes to restore old tools and vises as a bit of a hobby, the absolute best rust remover ive used is "Evapo-Rust". you can buy it in small quantities or large buckets. its reusable and lasts a long time. just fill a tub, drop the parts in, and let them soak for a few or so hours. best results are 24 hours, but for axles like that 3 hours should probably do it. it doesn't attack metals, just rust. just after a while it does start to stink. its non toxic, no fumes, doesnt burn like acid... it just... gets pretty rank after a few many uses.. lol

@dart70ca

4 жыл бұрын

spartan36789 Agreed. Been meaning to comment for some time now and you're the first to mention EvapoRust. Hopefully available in Aus. I would recommend NOT using any type of acid on these things as the alloy they're made of may react poorly. Coke does not do much IMO, and the active ingredient is phosphoric acid anyway. Vinegar is acetic acid and comes in different strengths (labelled on the container). The strongest I've used is 5-7% (pickling vinegar I think). Citric acid powder should work as well. Again, I believe you run the risk of a reaction with the Zamac alloy and I would avoid them. Electrolysis is great and probably cheapest in the long run. Can be slower than EvapoRust but will not touch anything but the rust. Borax powder with water is the electrolytic medium and should not bother the alloy, but I would check first. Arm and Hammer washing soda is what I use here in North America. Used for washing laundry. An old style non-automatic 12V battery charger for a power source. EvapoRust is great but can be a tad pricey. Easy on your skin, environmentally friendly, should last quite a while loosening tiny parts like this. May stain things a bit darker. Enjoy your videos immensely Marty; keep it up!

Marty, You're a bloody genius, I take my hat off to you.

Marty Therefore, I will ALWAYS continue to watch your videos, because you have such a crazy insane humor. I guess I would consider more outside ventilation when spraying the Tamiya paints. But it is always great to laugh out loud in today’s crazy world and I always do appreciate that

Marty, if any rusted axels may come by again then use the electrolysis technique. All rust wil jump off until bare metal accurs. Then the process stops. I used it for an old rifle, this way all letter and number stamps wil be untouched instead of using chemicals or grinding

Congrats! Beautiful addition.

you do great jobs on the match box toys . most of the toyd you do are toys from my childhood as i am 60 years old . you bring back memories of my youth with your work . thank you fot that , great job .

Marty we used a blasting device, used By dental technician the Sand you use is 150my and After that you use 50my Glas pearls, with that you get the old paint away and clean and polish the metal. No paintstripper anymore, no brushes or dental tools to get the dirt out of tiny corners, you clean wverything, also you have a good Compressor that you can use for it. Search for this : Renfert 3-Kammer Sandstrahler Basic Quattro Best Regards Marco

That was one tough restoration and came out really well. What was more worrying, is that those nails suited you :)
