That Tomley's such a trouble maker... Volvo project is awesome, love all the details. They used to be pretty common in the UK, but sadly like all the cool stuff they are almost extinct now. I used to a have a 940 'Wentworth' Estate (2.0 Turbo). Came in handy when my ex wife locked me out the house and threw all my belongings out the window. I got it all in with room for me to sleep in the back at full stretch haha. She was Crazy! (The ex wife, not the Volvo!)
I feel like I just entered Doctor Who's Tardis with that song "it's a whole new world" playing in the background! And as usual, everything on the bench looks amazing!
yeah yeah yeah. Jimnymania! Looks like my bench, except Im in franken build land with wpl and mst jimnys. People are saying the wpl jimny is spot on to 1:10 scale. Kinda feel like I need a whole collection of jimny/samurai/sidekicks... tws, element, mst, wpl... some homebrew lj20 with a printed body?!
That is a small workshop, but some amazing things come out of it. Chevy did have a V8 diesel back then, it was not very powerful or reliable, so maybe the Canadian army was smart to go with a normal small block engine.
I really like the look of the Samurai - it's so late 80's/early 90's goodness (esp. with the yellow orange wavy decal). The details you added are so right
Credit where credit is due: Matt's ability to turn a tiny workspace into such a vast universe of positivity, experience and community interaction is uncanny. His mellow attitude and film wizardry bring that workspace to a level that feels right at home, it feels like getting an in person update...WEEKLY!
You outdid yourself on the busted radiator. My wife walked thru the room and said “thats’s a busted radiator” when she saw the video playing on the TV.
My 82 gmc 2500 was a dark blue interior and truck was painted highway safety orange by an asphalt comp with dark bench seat. No red. It rattled and shook but it was fun to drive.
Love your dungeon! Jealous of it. Exactly the kind of hobby room I would like to have, which is hard to realize in a two room apartment in the city. Well well, one day perhaps.
In AZ, go to Pinnacle Peak mtn, a great hike, amazing view, and great scenery for redcat photos. If that steaming rc radiator doesn’t get you laid I don’t know what will
I can understand that growing up all I wanted was a shop to work out of now I have one and it just stores more stuff nice to have but not a necessity in your case I think you do amazing work with the space you have some people have to build off the kitchen table or an un-air conditioned garage .
That’s a really cool idea with the radiator on the Volvo, I’d try using the inner fenders from rc4wd for the k10 on the cucv and they’ll work with the engine bay too.
That's definitely really really cool what you done with the radiator I'm really glad I found you through Josh LOL I definitely feel like I got the better part of the deal
@@scalebuildersguild Nice,.. there's also Meteor Crater near-ish and I can't remember how far away the petrified forest is, back on the east coast now taking care of family, but spent a bit of time traveling back and forth from socal to that area .. my favorite route came up through the black canyon, cool cliff dwellings but watch out, the sand is soft as there and there's also deep dropoffs in the twisties.
Like many others, I too enjoy the view behind the curtain. I enjoy seeing other people’s work spaces. I like the steaming radiator mod. How long does it run for?
I think my space is even smaller than your space , you just have way more things going on in yours! 😝 All your projects are looking great ! Just love that Volvo and it’s gimmick and that bushido really caught my attention! Gr eat work on it !
@@scalebuildersguild Fair enough. I know I've been instructed to try and keep the front / rear weight balance around 35/65 to 40/60 and I was curious if that would bring too much weight forward. I know I used to struggle a lot more to drift with a 20/80 balance and had to move battery and ESC weight forward more.
Thanks for the behind the scenes! Incredible the show you create in that tiny space. Loved the updates on the projects. 👍 Not sure I totally understood how the vapor thing works, it has to be submerged in water?
I'm not saying that a small space, but I'd have to go outside to change my mind.. 😁 The diesels were actually v8's converted from gas to diesel. Turds.
I'm liking the new style your doing. Sharing the cave hahaha. It may not be much... but its where you create so much awesome stuff. Love that cucv. I agree with the inner fenders. Engine bay looks so good. That bushito... looks great, and I do think the mini proper sized one needs to be scaled out. Maybe a hard body Suzuki or Geo Tracker haha. I guy I know built the Cheech and Chong van and used those same paper thingys. Because.... well... Cheech and Chong. Haha. The drift car is so good. You nailed that drift missile style.
All those stickers should keep any people trying to get a sneak peek at anything away! Would it be possible to post the link to that smoke machine somewhere?
I've seen elevators bigger than that LOL come think of it I've been in bigger phone booths lol how did you even managed to fit all those Traxxas trucks in there that one time 😆😂 lol joking aside thanks for sharing your shop . I didn't think it was that small when you said it was small LOL
So disappointed in the ascent 1/18! Said I wasn’t gonna mess with those tiny screws ever again! And here I am….its just soooooo top heavy! And FYI tho, my scx24 bodies fit it perfect!
I'm just getting back into rcs after about 6 years away (I'm 21) wanting to build a scale but semi capable truck I'm wanting a long wheelbase to do a 4 door 90s chevy what would you suggest scx10, trx4, gen 8 I'm thinking a trx 4 hightrail what do you think I'm not trying to break the bank but I want the most out of the truck. I'll likely buy second hand what should i go with
Finally i finished watching every episode of whats on the bench. Finally i get to ask WHY IS THE CUCV STILL NOT FINISHED WHAT THE FRICK. Started watching roughly a month ago and got into it after finding the ep when you got the baja 5b. I think ep 14 or 15. Wish there was more bench content involving that beast. I plan to get my own some day (planning for a month or so from now) and paint it up all Baja Blast soda themed. Yes i want that massive buggy just for that joke. Thats all the reasoning i need imo.
Added the vaporizer description from Amazon for you!
That Tomley's such a trouble maker...
Volvo project is awesome, love all the details. They used to be pretty common in the UK, but sadly like all the cool stuff they are almost extinct now.

Hang in there. Did you keep the rcs.
I guess she's an ex for a reason!
That blown/overheating radiator look would be perfect for a Jeep Cherokee scale build
All the years of you saying your shop was small, you weren't kidding. Just goes to show that great things can happen in small spaces.
Best on youtube
Thanks!
Thank you!
It's awesome seeing what you do in that size of a workshop.
Thanks!
The broken radiator is SO COOL!
Thanks for sharing. Always wondered what the trip down there looked like
Matt that “busted radiator” is the best!!! You are correct to be chuffed!!! AWESOME!! 👍
Thanks!
Nice closet your working out of Matt. Keep up the awesome work your doing
Thanks! Will do!
Man..86 weeks! That's like 6 and a half years! Great videos! You have given me lots and lots of entertainment!
Thanks for watching and maybe you should check your math 😂
@@scalebuildersguild lol I will! Thanks for always replying to all of us crazy people!
I like your little cave 👍 kinda like a secret club house 😊
Agreed!
That leaky radiator is rad! Great idea!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Matt , my set up is in my laundry room. We work with what we have , you have some amazing creations out of such a small space 👍
Very true! I'm grateful to have ANY space! When we lived in our 2 bedroom condo, it was quite tricky!
Always love seeing the CUCV, and a Volvo.
I wish I could get a lexan top or a longer interior and cage to the Bushido to be more accurate to a samurai
Damn... that is a small workshop! Wow... have to step outside to change your mind
😂
Best SBG intro in like foreva
Thanks!
Damn. That's a small space. And it's awesome.
I'm grateful to have any space! It was tricky to build in our 2 bedroom condo!
I feel like I just entered Doctor Who's Tardis with that song "it's a whole new world" playing in the background! And as usual, everything on the bench looks amazing!
Was so excited when I saw the 01 on the board 👍🏻
Your work space is exactly what I envisioned !!! It’s amazing what you do in there !!!
Thank you! I think a lot of people are very surprised at how tiny it is!
Love the Redcat Ascent. Excellent little truck. Definitely worth upgrading and spending time on.
yeah yeah yeah. Jimnymania! Looks like my bench, except Im in franken build land with wpl and mst jimnys. People are saying the wpl jimny is spot on to 1:10 scale. Kinda feel like I need a whole collection of jimny/samurai/sidekicks... tws, element, mst, wpl... some homebrew lj20 with a printed body?!
The interior and drop bed on the bushido makes breaking the no lexan streak worth it methinks, the truck looks great 🤘🍻🤘
Agreed 🤘
Only thing matters, is YOUR get away space and you enjoy it as you please! 👍
Agreed!
...but the most important of all are all your rc builds 💪👍❤️
Would love to see a walk through of how the radiator works in more detail :)
Noted!
Pretty sweet addition to the Volvo!
That is a small workshop, but some amazing things come out of it. Chevy did have a V8 diesel back then, it was not very powerful or reliable, so maybe the Canadian army was smart to go with a normal small block engine.

Very cool to show us the room!
You outdid yourself on the busted radiator. My wife walked thru the room and said “thats’s a busted radiator” when she saw the video playing on the TV.
It’s relaxed Matt? No top button face looks less red 🤣
Love the steam. Really because add to an already awesome build.
Glad you like it!
I watch all your videos, Matt. I love what you do, but I rarely comment. That busted radiator though, mate, that’s just 👌
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
That's a RAD idea.. I love how that could be a good recovery call for my wrecker.
Glad I could help!
My 82 gmc 2500 was a dark blue interior and truck was painted highway safety orange by an asphalt comp with dark bench seat. No red. It rattled and shook but it was fun to drive.

Exactly! Thanks for watching!
Radiator looks awesome 👌
Thanks!
I would totally watch the British Baking Show, RC edition.
Oh No! A Lexan encounter only one day ago!!!! Please go see a specialist to make sure that you do not have any lasting harm.
😂
That ascent 18 is sooooooooooooooo cute 😊
PS. I’m incredibly jealous of your cookie
Get your own cookie 😂
Shoe Goo! Rad radiator dude!
That’s a really cool idea with the radiator on the Volvo, I’d try using the inner fenders from rc4wd for the k10 on the cucv and they’ll work with the engine bay too.
Lexan is a good thing!!!!! I like my rigs to hold up against jumps and rolls!
If you happen to be in north scottsdale when your in AZ. I build a 1/24 course for the hobby garage. Scale course with some great lines.
We were in Scottsdale near Taliesin West, but we're back now!
That's definitely really really cool what you done with the radiator I'm really glad I found you through Josh LOL I definitely feel like I got the better part of the deal
Thanks!
If you're not already going there, you should go to Sedona.. love that place.. but the plains near the Grand Canyon and the Grand Canyon are awesome!
We are going to Sedona!
@@scalebuildersguild

Nice hobby cockpit! You look good driving SBG😂
Very cool on the broken Rad 💯
Love my ascent 18. Best 18th by far
Glad to hear it!
Wicked rad looks just like my real Volvo 😍
You’re right, it is hella cool
Your space reminds me of Riot in Cell Block Eleven...look it up!
But less RCs! 😂
Like many others, I too enjoy the view behind the curtain. I enjoy seeing other people’s work spaces. I like the steaming radiator mod. How long does it run for?
As long as it has water, easily 10 minutes!
LOL! Matt you are awesome !!
we had both at the wpg base. gas and diesel, and red and tan seats
Very cool!
Looks like a decent space!
My wife says size doesn't matter 😂
i think your shop is cool
Bro you make that place look big with the cameras.
Cool projects! I like the Volvo 👍🫡
I think my space is even smaller than your space , you just have way more things going on in yours! 😝
All your projects are looking great ! Just love that Volvo and it’s gimmick and that bushido really caught my attention! Gr eat work on it !
It's not the size that counts, right? 😂
How much extra weight do you end up adding with the busted rad? Does it throw off the front / rear weight balance of the car?
It’s pretty negligible. I’m also no drift expert, so I don’t really notice much of a difference.
@@scalebuildersguild Fair enough. I know I've been instructed to try and keep the front / rear weight balance around 35/65 to 40/60 and I was curious if that would bring too much weight forward. I know I used to struggle a lot more to drift with a 20/80 balance and had to move battery and ESC weight forward more.
I have about that same amount of space but less cool trucks then you have lol
You maximize your work space 💯
I try!
Thanks for the behind the scenes! Incredible the show you create in that tiny space. Loved the updates on the projects. 👍
Not sure I totally understood how the vapor thing works, it has to be submerged in water?
There's a reservoir that I built that holds the water.
Can you please provide links to the water vapor products you used?
The link is in the pinned comment. Enjoy!
@@scalebuildersguild Thank you.
What happened to the IFS FJ Cruiser?
Still working on it!
how are you preventing calcium build up on the atomizer? Distilled water?
Any water will do, it’s not being used so frequently that I would worry about build-up. But, yeah- distilled water would probably help with that!
Thats awesome 👏
Looks like that radiator needs replaced that will cost about 600 or I can patch it for yua
😂
The realistic self steam cleaning Volvo engine bay!
I'm not saying that a small space, but I'd have to go outside to change my mind.. 😁 The diesels were actually v8's converted from gas to diesel. Turds.
The camera lens makes it look a lot more spacious.
I'm liking the new style your doing.
Sharing the cave hahaha.
It may not be much... but its where you create so much awesome stuff.
Love that cucv.
I agree with the inner fenders.
Engine bay looks so good.
That bushito... looks great, and I do think the mini proper sized one needs to be scaled out.
Maybe a hard body Suzuki or Geo Tracker haha.
I guy I know built the Cheech and Chong van and used those same paper thingys.
Because.... well... Cheech and Chong.
Haha.
The drift car is so good.
You nailed that drift missile style.
Thanks! My wife informed me that Chong is from Calgary... did you know that?
@@scalebuildersguild sure did.
Nice brown seat 😂
Man I had no idea how small your shop was!
Yep! It's tiny!
All those stickers should keep any people trying to get a sneak peek at anything away!
Would it be possible to post the link to that smoke machine somewhere?
The link is in the pinned comment. Enjoy!
Okay, now you need to stick a moose antler in the grille
The ascent needs an 80’s ford ranger grill and headlights. The grill and headlights on it are too 70’s Datsun yet the body is clearly an 80’s ranger
IMTHATGUY says he doesn't want to be "That Guy" 🤣
😂
made me feel claustrophobic for a second or two, i'll try to erase the memory while watching onward
I've seen elevators bigger than that LOL come think of it I've been in bigger phone booths lol how did you even managed to fit all those Traxxas trucks in there that one time 😆😂 lol joking aside thanks for sharing your shop . I didn't think it was that small when you said it was small LOL

If you’re coming to Phoenix bring the drift car and stop by TandemRC!
Friday nights are always a good time.
Maybe next time!
What’s the water vaper module on Amazon please, would looks so dope on my drift car
The link is in the pinned comment. Enjoy!
Are you coming to scale nationals in Leeds again this year ?
There was no announcement for Nationals this year, so we decided to go to Colorado for WE-RC-Rock
Need links to the electronics for the vaper.
The link is in the pinned comment. Enjoy!
Hey! Any r/c area is a great r/c area! Mine is super small too..... and I have to stand up....
Agreed! It's small but mighty!
I wanna buy your Porsche so bad!!
What's the best rock crawler for a beginner but can still upgrade over time? Axial basecamp?
I like the Basecamp, the TRX4 Sport, Element Enduro or the Vanquish VS4-10.
I didn't notice element released a smaller bushido. I know what my next rc purchase will be, not that I need another one 😂
"Need" is a very fluid term when it comes to RC!
So disappointed in the ascent 1/18! Said I wasn’t gonna mess with those tiny screws ever again! And here I am….its just soooooo top heavy! And FYI tho, my scx24 bodies fit it perfect!

Welcome back to the hobby! I’d recommend a Vanquish Fordyce as your starting point. Best bang for your buck.
Looks cool. 🛻
but where do you add the water is there a tank??
There’s a reservoir that I built that holds the water.

Where in Arizona?
We were in Scottsdale and then Sedona for a day. Had a blast and my wife even took me to a great spot for RCs that she saw last year!
@@scalebuildersguildI don't know if there's a bad spot for RC trucks in Sedona. LOL
Holy crap, I knew you said your was small before, but I didn't realize you meant "Costanza fresh out of the pool" small.
I was in the pool 😂
