Awesome video. Perfect timing.. I'm building a scale interior from scratch and having trouble getting the stuff to glue together the way I want. Thank you.
Another great tutorial video, but now you're giving away all your secrets lol... Please keep the instructional videos coming, they are much appreciated. I've always wondered and been fascinated with how a n00b makes tiny truck art. Ty for a glimpse behind the curtain.
This is great, thanks for taking the time to make this one. Working on my first RC4WD body and bought the Plastruct plastic weld. Looks like I'll be getting some MEK sub when this runs out 👍. I know we have seen a selection if your cutting tools in other build videos, maybe some overview of the essential blades or saws we should have? I had to cut holes in the Mojave bed to fit over the shock towers and did a hack bodge job of it. Thankfully I have a lot of good files so I could clean up most of it, but I'm sure there's some convenient handle to hold narrow jigsaw blades or something that would have made it clean and easy
A cutting tool video is a great idea. I've amassed quite a collection saws and cutting tools for this hobby. A coping saw might work for that particular instance. When I cut holes in a bed for shocks I usually make a cardboard or styrene template then transfer it to the bed. Then I go crazy with a cutoff wheel on the rotary tool and clean it up with file and a sanding wheel.
@@turksandjerps That's about how I did it too, except I tried a cutoff wheel and a soldering iron to get into the tighter areas. I'm glad I did it in the garage because I'm sure the house would still smell like toxic burning 😂. The fine cut files I got for gunsmithing work really well on the plastic for cleaning up edges
Wow, very cool and informative video Richard. Thank you. That styrene definitely seemed weird. Ever thought about doing live videos just like this while you build?
I would pay for that subscription! Drop cable TV. Nah I don’t have cable. Guys like Richard, have the foresight to see and use there hands to make that kind of art. Yah I would pay.. thanks for your time!
Hey thank you so much for your time! About the 3-D printing if I the guy is starting from scratch not knowing anything is there a long list of ABC’s to learn before purchasing a decent reputable printer or is it just worth having someone print it for you it’s kind of a odd question some people say that it’s a headache another say it’s a piece a cake I just wondered if there was anything that stuck out to you and that one should know before investing in a printer I was looking at a few that were around $400+
3D printing is a whole other hobby. It is great to be able to make your stuff, however there is a learning curve. Definitely not a set it and forget it hobby. There are a lot of great videos on TH-cam. The Ender 3 or any of it's clones are a great starting point, decent machine for a low price point.
I think we're at the point in time where everyone serious about models and this hobby needs a 3D printer. I use a nearly stock Tevo Tornado which I think is a CR10 clone. Is it the best and most expensive? Not by a long shot but it has been very reliable for me. I can make an average print look great with my finishing skills. Other people can't finish or don't care to so that's probably where a higher end printer would be useful. Anyway, there's a slight learning curve but I was able to get the hang quickly with some videos and google searches.
hey bud..whats the best adhesive u will use on the cchand hilux emblems? going on a white tf2 body?...the cchand emblems that come with the toyota front grill badge?..thanks man..
@@turksandjerps don't know,, never seen it before still doing it so cant watch. Its something to do with the age restriction ( Age-restricted video (requested by uploader) ) on the vid.
@@turksandjerps Your video is set to age restricted. In edit video details, if you select, "No, it's not made for kids", expand the "Age restriction (advanced)", and select, "No, don't restrict my video to viewers over 18 only". I don't know why they hide that
@@jord001 I apologize for that, that's the first I've seen it. Must've accidentally checked a box. I think I unrestricted it. No reason for this content to be restricted.
@@turksandjerps Hey, Nice one, I can now watch with no problems, Thanks for doing this. Great vid too. I'm just starting to work on a Ford Econoline pickup in several parts 3d printed in HIPS so need to learn how to stick it together and where to use strengthening strips and styrene. Its also good to know how to stick pla together as that's the main filament I use. Can you guide me towards any of your videos where you do shell strengthening with styrene? Thanks again.

Thanks and glad it could be of help.

I enjoy sharing the things I've picked up along the way. Thanks for watching.
Dude i closed Amazon with a cart full of glues and opened TH-cam to this video…either they are talking to each other about me or YOUR just that good…
I keep a close eye on my subscribers.
Always wondered what you use in that jar with the brush ill be getting myself some of that MEK thanks buddy 👍
Very cool video man.
I always enjoy learning things.

Thank you. I have thought about it but I'd need to figure out what kind of video and stuff to use first. There's probably a video for that somewhere.
@@jeremyoshea7941 I'll take your money! Kidding. Yeah, let's see if I can't figure out how to do a live thing some time.
Fantastic sir. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
A very fitting release date for a video about the union of two - Feb 14 - I see what you did there... ;)
I wish I was that clever
@@turksandjerps Just pretend. I won't tell anyone. Promise.
Don’t mind me. Just here learning from the master.
Excellent video! What kind of styrene did you use? Was it a name brand or the type you buy in bulk?
Thanks, it was bulk stuff from the same place I've been buying from forever. Had the sheet for a while and finally just got into it.

Can I glue Lexan to skin?
Traxxas chainsaw massacre
No, you may only glue skin to lexan
What would you sugesttfor gluing up pinched and bobbed tamiya hard bodies?
A solvent like MEK substitute or acetone
hey bud..whats the best adhesive u will use on the cchand hilux emblems? going on a white tf2 body?...the cchand emblems that come with the toyota front grill badge?..thanks man..
CA or E6000
Do you know if there are any more flexible CA glues out there?
I do believe there are some out there. I have no experience with them.
This video is asking to verify my ID by credit card or drivers license. Im 55 and wont be showing any id, Sorry Pardonmynoob but I wont be watching.
Why on earth would it ask that???
