    Marty, I am actually in tears to see that you are back doing what we all love to watch you doing. Your videos are a reminder of childhood days ( I had this toy and the carry case as well) and seeing them again brings back so many happy memories. Just remember you are so appreciated by all of us and we are all so grateful and overjoyed to have you back. Keep up the good work and be safe.

It's been tough dealing with the fact I'm not able to do things anymore and this month makes 3 years since I became disabled. I've been battling depression throughout this ordeal as well and I don't smile much anymore. However, when I watch your videos, they never fail to make me smile, laugh, and enjoy something positive. You do great work on the models and I love how you pay attention to every little detail. Keep up the great work Marty and can't wait for the next video!!

    (actually good morning, but we use it at all times, similar to the Australian G'day).
    It's like you've never been away😃
    An excellent restoration and (in this case) a stunning customising 👍🏼
    Not missing the unforgettable headlines on the paper in the paint booth either 🤣.
    Ah yes...
    How long has it been since we heard it, the legendary
    "I'm happy with that"🤩
    A terrific job Marty, I'm thrilled.
    The "John Deere" is an absolute highlight in your collection, but the "Claas" also turned out very well.
    (A "candy" for a coastal dweller.... Now we have a "port" and a "starboard" combine 🤣👍🏼).
    Thanks so much for sharing, Marty, definitely a thumbs up from me for that 👍🏼
    Stay safe and sound and keep up the good work, mate 😁
    A bonza weekend to you and your family.

    This was the first Matchbox model I owned. I was 7. I remember walking with my mother through Kress (a local five and dime as we called them then) and seeing the shelves of Matchbox and riveting on the combine harvester. The fact that the harvester blades operated when you moved the tractor fascinated me. Matchbox vehicles became my "allowance" for completing my allotted chores each week (they were 59 cents plus tax I recall), and soon I amassed a sizable collection. Ive begun again, collecting only those vehicles I previously owned. The fascination remains. Thanks for the memories, Marty!

To alleviate my clear distress my mother asked me if there was anythng I wanted to which I said I would like a combine harvester. She turned up with one of these in green. Today and worse for wear it is sat in my display cabinet. I decided long ago not to restore it and maintain all its memories intact. My best toy by far! Thanks for the channel...

    I don't know about Australia, but eggs have gone sky high in the US. If the situation is the same down under, you, Marty, could be sitting on a gold mine!
    Keep up the good work, mate!
