A new project that inspired me to do a new project. Doing up this concrete truck reminded me of a small concreting job that I had been meaning to do for quite sometime. Whilst I wait for the paint to dry I instruct Kevin on the basics of how to concrete.
At least one of the projects turned out OK!
Hope you like it.

Get well soon 😊
The model looks brand new. I was always impressed with the detail of Matchbox models and how realistic they looked. This was a great tutorial and I look forward to your next project.
You could try making a cast of an original barrel and then casting a bunch of new ones for the fleet of trucks
Hi Marty, can you do a what I have and what I need video on the classic matchbox vehicles sometime.
Not as entertaining as your videos Marty, but Paul Restorer makes everything. I reckon that he would make castings for the drum.
Excellent restoration well done
Great job Marty. From your #1 fan.
Right before you said, “Gee, I’m looking old, aren’t I?” I was thinking, “Wow, he’s looking great! He should update his profile picture to show off his new look.” (Seriously, not even joking.)
KEVIN… keep on being YOU. 🙂 Marty will forgive you yet again… just like he always does…. year in & year out. 🙂NZ
Saludos cordiales desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Marty that Araldite is a very bold definitive move! Wouldn't just a little touch of silicon be better!
Beautiful job
I always love watching overs Marty. You have great hands.
Fantastic job Marty. We all look old as we age.
Dear Sir,
I always enjoy the makeover of a model i own, like this one. Well, now ti's me son's, bequeathed in life as a family heirloom, but many a year before, i played with it a lot, so it's in the same state as the subject at the beginning of the video.
And, of course tis always a great advance in me knowledge on Australian zeitgeist to see the painting cabinet news.
Cheers from Brazil!
Glad that see you are doing OK, in spite of the crushed thumb. Love your content. Stay well.
That was a beautiful makeover. However watch out for them alien red necks. If you hear space banjos, run! ROFL
I have never done a restoration, and only a few small concrete jobs. Your mix looks like it has too much water.
Great job (as usual), keep the videos coming!!!!!
Another great video in the drum!
This video may cement your place as King Of The Matchbox Restoration. You might be a bit too close to be very objective but have you considered that Kevin could have anti-authority tendencies?
It was great watching you again, brother.
Nicely done ,great restoration and Kevin will make a good construction worker 😂
The model turned out looking nice and shiny! I can't believe Kevin would do that to your concrete, though!
Marty, I'm really becoming concerned about your hands. Please be careful. Your poor thumb!
"Redneck Aliens Take Over Trailer Park; 'There goes the neighborhood'" may be the greatest tabloid headline ever written.
For smaller smooth parts a Resin 3d printer would be much better suited for making parts.
your looking good Marty 🙂
Hi Marty! This was a splendid project.
For windscreen scratches u could use polywatch its great for getting rid of even deep scratches😊

Lovely to watch as always Marty
One of those concrete mixer barrels is used in the manufacture of chocolate at the Mars chocolate factory in Slough. It is vertically mounted at the end of the Malteser line where it is filled with continuously rotating/moving Malteser pips, polishing each other by rubbing against other Maltesers – prior to boxing and wrapping.
10:05 Handsome chap Marty!
Superb restoration! One of Matchbox best castings. Intricate, fine details, and different on each side of the model shows Matchbox mastery of the diecasting process by this time.
😂 Sometimes you just have to walk away.
Your eye for matching colors is better than the factory I think. Even Matchbox had slight variations in their batches.
A method of getting smoothed-out prints is to use something which fills it in a bit – for very small imperfections, a coat of gesso paint works well. Or you can smear on some filler of some kind. A bit of sanding and it works well – especially for a nice, smooth, rounded shape like the cement barrel.
A very well done job; thank you, Marty!
Another great video Marty 👍
