MATCHBOX Restoration No 38c Honda Motorcycle and Trailer 1967

This upload was a day late. I ran out of time to finish my voice over and then the next day my microphone failed! I got there in the end and , hopefully, as the saying goes, "Good things are worth waiting for!".

This is a 'two for one' video in that this combination included two models so I could not do one without the other. Both models had damage to repair and needed repainting. The Trailer also needed some new decals. There are a few new ideas presented in this video and also an experiment to see if Bronze wool burns like Steel wool.

I had great fun doing this makeover and I am very pleased with the overall end product. I hope you enjoy it! Marty.

This is the channel. This is my go-to channel for sheer relaxation and for getting "re-centered". I can't explain it, but it just works.

Green flame comes from copper in the wool. Copper atoms get excited and when they return to ground state, they emmit the green light

Thats an outstanding job on something others would have thrown away. 👍🏻. Well done mate. You get better and better.

Congrats to you and your wife Julie for the great work!

This is one of your best, that drawbar was fantastic. But no bloopers at the end, did nothing go wrong this week.

[babygerald]

In only three weeks I've gone from not knowing anything about the existence of Matchbox model restorations to wondering where this week's MMM video is. That alone speaks volumes to what you're doing and the quality of your productions, Marty. Thanks for all you do!

What a great project with parts being made to repair the trailer and bike ..The finish model looks brilliant and 5 star

[sheltonhawthorne]

That looks sweet, Marty ! I actually like the fact you didn't paint the bike motor. It makes it look "Matchbox original". You're a true artist ! May the good Lord bless you today !

"Goes off like a frog in a sock", is my new favorite saying. Thanks Marty, another good restoration.Cheers from over the ditch

[videditorEB]

My goodness. The instant flashback to my bedroom as a little guy playing with this toy was absolutely fantastic. I hadn’t seen or thought about the little Honda cafe bike in close to 50 years. Thanks so much.

A frog in a sock, I laughed so hard when I heard you say that my son thought I was having a stroke, I had never heard that before.

[danielnoel]

Great to see you added the kick stand. Bit off scale with the pull car, but very nice job bringing the bike and trailer back to life

[barbarapease]

With as much as you know about Matchbox models and how to restore them, have you ever thought of opening up a fix-it shop? I know it's a lot of work, but you seem to know more than anyone about restoring models. I am very deeply impressed with your work.

[SprocketWalker]

I watch these videos just to read the gossip on the tabloid newspapers in the paint booth.

Keep these videos coming! I love the restorations with commentary.

[doublenickelbob]

Super great repair on the trailer. Nice decals and kickstand. Another super restoration/build. With all the detail on the bike I might try a custom on one of mine. Thanks

[cachabacha]

Great video Marty! when I was young there was no money for fireworks so we use to grab a steel wool tie it to a rope, set it on fire and throw it in the air like a lazo. Great times!

[dropbear]

One of your best old mate, this is the reason so many others try to copy you, keep up the great work.

[schwarzanzug]

MARTY, te felicito por tu excelente trabajo de restauración. Todos estos modelos matchbox de los 60 y 70 junté los 73 or 75 ..
me traes muchos recuerdos de mi infancia y luego los heredaron mis hijos .
de mas esta decir que los destruyeron .
te saludo desde mi país: Argentina
un gran abrazo.

[mikes.]

This was one of your best yet Marty! Your attention to detail and enthusiasm win the day again. You are a Master Matchbox Craftsman!

I do not collect Matchbox cars, I am a railway modeller. But I enjoy watching each one of Marty's videos because they are very well done, and they are very relaxing to me. It is a kind of relaxing therapy to me. And you always learn a new technique. Well done, Marty, and thanks for sharing your videos.
