Diecastmolester's Dinky Molestation

[Tinman]

You know, we all know Matchbox Marty down there in Strayla.
I think his restorations are very, very good.

I think Marty has come a long way since his first restoration. I think much of his popularity is due to his good sense of humor and adding that into his restoration videos. It takes a ton of time to produce a video as smooth as the ones Marty does and he's actually in the "TV entertainment business" much more than he is in the restoration business. The result is that he has now advanced to a point where he is earning a profit for his efforts. He doesn't have to worry about spending money, time or effort to secure models to rebuild as viewers send him tons of stuff. He also receives some of his supplies and tools from vendors and manufacturers for promotional purposes.

I wish Muggy Weld would send me their soldier rods and flux. It costs right at $100.00 USD for a small tube of 3/16 soldier and a small bottle of flux. The 1/8 rods are even more expensive. If Muggy Weld kicked in some Muggy Weld flux and rods I would use Muggy Weld all the time and mostly retire the epoxy glue in favor of Muggy Weld. Muggy Weld is a very useful product and Muggy Weld is a game changer for certain fixes where Muggy Weld produces a far more secure bond than epoxy. Are you listening Muggy Weld?

I love Tamiya paints and I would mention Tamiya paints all the time If Tamiya paints would kick in a few promotional products of Tamiya paints for me to use Tamiya paints. But, with few exceptions, Tamiya paints are too expensive for me to use on a regular basis. If Tamiya paints could send me some promotional product, Tamiya paints would be my "go to" paint for everything and I would have no problem thanking Tamiya paints and showing off the superior effects that Tamiya paints can produce.

I would replace my actual wife with a 24 year old friend who is constantly shown wearing too tight/skimpy inappropriate clothing. She would always be unable to assist me because she has a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Besides, her fake nails are always too freshly done to be able to help me with anything other than cashing my Youtube checks. Kevin would be replaced by a young buff gardener who my (fake) wife is always caught flirting with. On second thought, it's probably a good thing I'm not doing videos of my restorations. Between the shameless product placement, the inappropriate fake wife and the dark sense of humor that rules my commentary on life ... the whole thing would be one hot mess. Oh, and I would probably not be able to resist speaking in a fake accent that would just annoy most viewers.

I've never heard of Muggy Weld is that the right spelling"MUGGY WELD" what dos it do.Can you over paint it with Tamiya paints straight away or do you need to clean off the Muggy Weld with Tamiya thinners you know the one your supposed to use for thinning Tamiya paints.....As for Kevin I can tell you you would'nt have a chance with your inapropriate girl friend if he was there ......I'll let you all into a little known fact............He's very tall and owns his own Picnic hamper and tea making faciltys.

Not sure if your question about Muggy Weld was real or jest. But, that is the correct spelling. It's for joining dissimilar metals that usually can not be soldered or welded. They make solder and welding rods for this purpose. Actually a very good product.

You can join pot metal, zinc, copper, brass, aluminum, zymack, galvanized and so on to each other and it's a low temp process (350* F). Best not to attempt to joining white metal reproduction parts as some of those melt at the same or even lower temps. It's an excellent product for work on diecast models.

But, as mentioned, it is expensive. There is an excellent video of an old auto carburetor being restored using the product. Wish I had some of this back in the day, would have been very handy for performance modifications and associated repairs. Think of all the pot metal parts you had to toss out and replace because of a crack or break ... that this could have fixed in seconds.

I haven't used their "aluminum brazing system," but I have used a competitors system and it works so good that you can skip the expensive MIG welder! All you need is a mapp gas bottle for a $10.00 propane torch.

21st century technology indeed.....Probably not though....Makes you wonder what they will come up with next....A cheaper postal service would be nice hey Joe?

You'll know it's me when you see the plumber's crack of a fat bastard combing through the 50p rummage boxes underneath the tables.

Just add "old" in front of fat and that pretty much covers the lot of us.
