    The Decoliner is one of the coolest vehicles I have ever seen. A blast to drive from the fly bridge and also practical and beautiful throughout. Calling it a drivable sculpture is accurate, and you are an artist who has brought a vision to life.

  • @blipco5
    @blipco5 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    No, you did NOT spend too much time building that sculpture. The colors, textures and materials are spot on. Simply beautiful and well worth every minute.

    Randy has a very healthy life philosophy which enables him to create those beauties. As he said, nothing to do with money exchange but taking the time to do things right and application of expertise. That's what we have to introduce in our daily routines nowadays. Congrats Randy, do what you love, the energy will follow.

  • @Paul-TRL
    @Paul-TRL 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I like how he see's each vehicle as a usable sculpture, as opposed to an item to get from a to b which happens to look good. He is extremely enthusiastic about his work with great attention to detail with both the drivability of each piece and the visual impact.

  • @richaroodledoodle

    @troysvisualarts 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Totally enjoyed watching this video, what a cool unique retro looking RV van, it has that early 1950s space age concept car look to it which I find fascinating! :) And Randy's speech at the beginning of the video about the importance of taking your time with your creative project and getting it right and not rushing it to get it done quickly is an inspiration for me to be more patient with my projects particularly when things don't work out as I have difficulty not wanting to "get things done" quickly and worrying about time as I'm caught up in the high paced way of living as well.
