@@BPCustomCreations Thank you! Your builds and your videos are definitely inspiring me to build better and improve my presentations. You're a natural narrator. I'd be honored to do a collab with you. Email my at my channel name (one word) at gmail and let's set something up!
That wagon looks awesome l love the way you used srews for the coil over shocks . The weathring and rust effects really bring the model together , great job 👏 👍
Your channel has been giving me a huge amount of inspiration for car ideas to use for props for a character of mine in an apocalypse setting. So thank you very much. The build turned out fantastic by the way. Really think green pulled it together.
I always try to rotate colors that I use so everything doesn't end up the same. I'm glad I added the white door, it sets off the colors more than just green. Thanks for watching!
Love your rivets. I paint directly over styrene all the time and it adheres great and a must if building model cars for shows so it's all smooth no brush stroke all airbrush and model spray paints for whole build. A good primer I love is Mr. Surfacer 1000 grey fine primer it's in a spray can goes on very thin so it doesnt hide tiny details. I use that on every thing that i paint. Try the salt method for weathering I love it there us tones of videos on TH-cam of how to do it super easy and very effective
This is sick as hell, you did a great job. The one white door really sells the whole story from such a small decision. The only thing I would have added was extra black exhaust weathering on the roof next to the exposed engine. Looking forward to the next one :)
Thank you sir! I thought about putting some exhaust dirtying in the area you said but the exhaust is coming down and out the back. I don't know much about cars so I could be wrong but I thought the things sticking out the top were air intake "velocity stacks" Anyway, I appreciate your comments! I just released a new video earlier today so check it out 😎👍
Hi, Ben! It's a work of art. So much detail, and so realistic looking in the end. Loved watching the whole process from start to finish. My favourite parts were the scratch built suspension, the broken glass (totally stealing that idea, thanks) and of course the log bumper. I'm the one who thought you made leather straps (FB comment), but having seen the video now, you've convinced me they're metal! I took copious notes along the way. That was a great tutorial and an inspiration to up my game! Thanks for all the time you took in video editing to help us out. Bueno! Greetings from Switzerland - Andrew 🍁👍👊
Thanks, Andrew! I always look forward to reading your feedback and appreciate you always following along with my builds! I could see the straps as either or but, like I said, it's open to interpretation of the viewer👍 I love hearing those kinds of comments from a different perspective as it helps me view my builds in a new/different way. Stay safe over there, my friend!
Thanks Adam! Sometimes it's just a matter of putting some paint on a car and seeing what works 👍 Start out weathering cars that you haven't put hours of work into and there's no harm in making mistakes!
Awesome work bro. I told you to just do it and look at this! Your not only a phenomenal builder but your production and voice over comedic style is all catching fire! Congratulations on 1k in record time 😎👊
Thanks Jay! You pushed me at just the right time it seems. I hope I can keep it up. Should be a matter of just having fun and building like I have been.
Now what sadist would come up with that theme? 🤣 excellent work as always buy you should invest in a protractor to measure angles you can find them in maths departments at schools 😉
I'm always at a loss when trying to find words to describe your videos and it's getting annoying! Kidding!😅 Incredibly informative and full of creativity man, phenomenal job sir! The screws as shocks are perfect and I've also been wanting to make a log bumper lol. Great job with the suspension. Dude that broken glass task would shatter me😉😉😆 looks incredible though! I just realized you skipped over the exhaust, but it seems like the same material used for the driveshaft. What an awesome build dude! So glad I finally got to watching this. I don't think I'd change or do anything different, not that I can even come close anyways. I think it'd be cool if you taught us a Japanese word related to the build at the end of each video though. Thanks for the entertainment!
Thank you for the kind comments. I'll have think about how to incorporate some Japanese into my videos but it doesn't seem to have a place in the current format
Yeah dude! I actually love this one because I think this is one of the projects that you show your wide array of skills, starting from the initial design all the way to the realistic weathering and use of different materials, this el Camino is a clear demonstration of what you're capable an even more, from transforming a regular el camino to something completely different, besides I love that white weathered door!! Edit: the live was super cool I'm glad I catched it!
Having done plenty of wooden imitations due to a history in Restorative & Decorative painting, start with a bit more whitish-yellowish. After your grain is added you can always darken in with a transparent layer. Wood is 9/10 times lighter than you think, untreated wood that is.
@@BPCustomCreations I'm not a master, just the theory I remember from my studies. In the end we're not painting with numbers, just our own tiny little art pieces. If it looks good, it looks good. (This is why I can't stand museum guides)
I know why you didn’t cut the windows out before. It’s because it wouldn’t have that extra support structure when it’s all together and it would be really hard to glue and line up correctly … but cutting them out afterwards gives you that support and can put them exactly where you want
@@BPCustomCreations Unfortunately, no. I was in the army at the time, and had only finished it the day before I deployed for Desert Shield. I sold it to a fellow soldier for $50.
I use an automotive paint stripper called Holt's that doesn't seem to be available outside of Japan. Any automotive paint remover should work but they are pretty toxic. I added an amazon link to the most popular citrus based stripper in the US to the description of the video. Thanks for watching!
@@BPCustomCreations I’ll have to watch now… yes that a series 3 Land Rover which is a great model.. it’s the long wheel base … I own a swb with a hard top… so I would like to make a mad max style one myself…
You need to look into ordering rc pan car springs they are very tiny I mean really tiny but only the ones for pan car suspension not off road trucks just on road carpet ones. The rj speed legend car is what you can look up and the springs for that car are pancar springs. But rc car parts are cheap and so many different parts that you can use for building your models. Rear diff parts abd suspension parts for any rc car unlimited shapes and sizes of plastic items even small tiny metal diff balls and bearings of all size as well. You can get parts lots off eBay for a few bucks and get all kinds of parts I dud that and waiting on it to arrive to use parts for modeling and scratch building. I'm get 200 parts for 6 bucks it's from a old rd car from the 80s is why they so cheap
They are called Kings of Crunch from the brand Greenlight. I found them at a Toys R Us but I am located in Japan. I would check online or in a shop that sells greenlight, johnny lightning, M2, etc.

Nice to finally watch this build. Epic work with the styrene and weathering. These videos are awesome, man. Keep em coming.

Thank you! What are you wishing you had done differently?
Really loved the log bumper!
Thanks! That was a fun detail 👍
Very clear with the coffee stirrers
Thanks! I think you meant to type clever? Its a useful way to make wood look good at scale for sure!
@@BPCustomCreations Thats what I meant, unlike your creations im not very clever.
I've been looking forward to this since seeing the pictures on the Gaslands Discord. Really liking the longer videos you've been kicking out too!
Thanks, Jay! It's awesome to hear that :)
Screws turned out great as shocks, in my opinion! also love the extra sound effects you added. Love these videos, keep it up!
Thank you, Riley! I appreciate the feedback 🙂
