    Thats a nice simple delivery van. Very nice restoration to a better than factory fresh condition. Sometimes i wish these old models would be modernised with windows and interieur and sold again...

    I'm watching your channel since the very beginning and I don't regret a single episode . It's definitely one of the best if not the best wee car restoration channel on internet. The commentary is great, funny bits with Kevin and hilarious newspaper details all the time. I love it. It helped me through the pandemic and it helps me nowadays when I need to relax. I used to restore matchbox cars when I was a kid and I do it nowadays on occasion so there is obviously strong connection. Thank you Marty!!!😊😊😊

    G'day from Cuxhaven 👋
    First the "Trojan" really looked like it had, over years, delivered tons of tea.... 😁
    But a little TLC 🛠️🎨🖌️ can work wonders 😉
    (And that a resto can take several days, I know only too well 🙄😁)
    When you have four-legged-mates 🐕‍🦺🐈 in the house, you always have to expect them to be curious and want to know what "Daddy" is doing....
    (I work on models myself and have five sighthounds and two parrots. Now and again there is a nose or a beak "at work" 🤣)
    Ok, we don't have koalas at the North Sea, but it's still risky to leave the room when there's food on the table.... 😆
    (As I said, five sighthounds)
    But about your work...
    Excellent, I can't say otherwise 🤩
    It's always a pleasure to see a piece of scrap metal turned back into a gem for the display case. 🚗🔎👀👍🏼
    What I also like...
    You're using self constructed tools. Great 😃
    (At this point also a shoutout to Paul Restorer in Krakow
    👍🏼🇵🇱🤩)
    Marty, I'm thrilled. Definitely both thumbs up for this 👍🏼👍🏼
    Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼
    Have a great week to you, Julie and all the team behind the scene and stay safe and sound.
    Keep up the good work, mate 😉
    Greetings from the DCcoB at the lighthouse end of the Elbe River.

    Small models require a finer mist, not something you often find in large paint cans. This model is perfectly adorable. Not boring at all. Lots of play value, unlike half of the HotWheels from the last 20 years that are freaked out weirdos only good for the track, and sometimes unsuitable for that.

    #47 was actually may first pick as a Matchbox model, along with #17 light green, the neighbor kid had the (now rare) light blue one!, I think I chose them because I thought they liked more like US vans! Nice job on #47!

    Congrats on 5 years and all the fun you've shared. Although I stopped collecting Matchbox miniatures in 1970 due to my dislike of 'stupidfast', watching your excellent show brings it all back with lovely memories. I do hope you reach your goal of one of each since 1953
    and do mention the composition of each model has always been a Zinc alloy with no lead at all, even the paint. Best wishes to you always. Tom from Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
