grasshopper and blackfoot was my only rcs as a kid...im old af...80s-early90s was when tamiya blew my mind..new stuff is amazing but im not a kid anymore sadly
Enjoying your videos. They have inspired me to rebuild my Blackfoot and Boomerang that I have been toting around for 30 years. Both need major work but I guess that is half the fun.
Hi mate. I've been watching your channel for a while. We are the same age, and lived through exactly the same golden era of Rc. I started in 85 with a hornet, about 5 of us all had Hornets. We spanked the heck out of them. No wing and bald tyres in no time.😁 I had a frog, then a Falcon. The Falcon was my favourite. But they all got beaten to death, jury rig repaired, my mates were badly painted from the start. Luckily I got new body sets in the 80s for all three...About ten years ago, I moved house, found my old wrecked Tamiya 3 and thought. I'll bung them on ebay. Researched got re hooked, restored them all. Then ended up buying and restòring sandscorchers and 959s... a fox and am now really hung up on the details. Moral is no ones cars looked any good back in the day..They were badly painted and trashed..Probably the reason, like you I too drooled over the Tamiya guide book at the mint box art cars. Thanks for the memories mate. Keep it up. The Blackfoot looks awesome😎
Looks so cool. I had a Blackfoot about 30 years ago. Absolutely hated those hex end drive shafts, they were constantly rounding off. Ran a 7 cell hump pack.
Did some cleaning up at my folks garage today. I thought my old Bush Devil was gone. Guess what, it was not. Needs new tyres and a body, but the entire chassis is intact:) Have now found nib body, decals and body hardware. Good stuff.
This was my 1st introduction into RC back in 86, I spent a lot of time in the gearbox but I absolutely drove it until the doors fell off. Need to get another
As some whose done both the Brat and Black Foot yours turned out amazing Glen . Those hard bodies are tedious but when there done it’s well worth it . When I did my Black Foot in the 80s I just left the grill as it came because it was a runner . Great job and video.
Awesome job looks perfect. I purchased the Ford emblems from Shapeways and glued them on the rere shell. Also used mci decals which honestly were a bit thick and royal pain matter of fact I can't get the bed ones to stay down. Again that looks excellent.
That thing came out absolutely amaizing. I chuckeld when I heard you say you were getting anxious with the details. I think you are way to critical of your work. Excellent job from start to finish....
Takes me back, my dad spotted one for sale in the local newspaper way back when, my first tamiya....nice memorys watching this...keep up the good work....oh..ive enjoyed making the mini boxes 👍🏻
Don't beat yourself up over it at all! I'm critical of myself as well but it looks amazing! You do good work and should be proud. Greetings from North America....
Wow l would be like shakin' Stevens doing those decals!!! and great finish on that paint job! Great job Glenn really impressive! I am done with paint jobs these days l try and get models with pre done shells by tamiya! I did do all my own stuff several years ago but just too much stress and eyes not up to it nowadays! Great stuff mate 😉👍
My first Tamiya RC (the first time around)... I remember strapping another two cells to the battery pack for more 'oomph'. Too poor to buy a better motor 😂. Luckily nothing went pop! Great video 👍🏼
@@TAMIYALegends I really hope so, my first ever RC was a mudblaster, now some 30 years on i fancy this, and it will be the star of my new FB trail drivers group, so it wont be a shelf queen, but it wont be abused
You did well there Glen.. goodness me I do not know how the shell’s got done back in the day!!. But somehow they did.. The detail work has got up and walked out on me😂😂😂. Really well done again
Not bad at all! The roof top of the truck along with the bed has some orange peel finish. Would have been better when you finished the Ford letters and the chrome trims you should have finished the whole body with a few coats of clear coat. I would recommend sanding it sanding it with a 1000 grit sand paper and you could polish the body and then clean it again and apply a few coats of clear coat. It will give your body more of a show room gloss finish. Your not done yet.😂. Don’t forget to paint the grill black or paint wash, inner light buckets black with chrome lip and the bottom turn signals amber. Can’t wait to see you run it!!!
Great job Glenn, that thing looks fantastic!!!! i absolutely love my blackfoot( re re ) when i bought mine a few years ago, i had in mind that it was gonna be a driver and glad i did!!! although i don't "beat" on it, i am not nice to it and it's held up just fine, love drivin it for sure;)
That really does look amazing Glenn and I cannot wait to start mine on Christmas... it funny I have the same hard bodys to do right now and in the same order as you so you have done all the hard work for me with posting these videos :) I love this old truck that much that I may go and buy the proper thing and do a ford ranger copy, that would make a cool every day driver
If we lived in a perfect world maybe?? but we don't so in my opinion no such thing as perfection. The blackfoot is one of my favourites and those tyre decals are spot on.
This was my first RC as a kid. I never bothered to paint the hardshell as I figured it spend a lot of time upside down. Still remember for the driver, I stole one of my sister's Ken Barbie doll heads and glued that to his body. A slightly tight fit in the cab as the scale was slightly off, but, I thought it looked good. My sister? Not so much when she found out. 😁
@@TAMIYALegends I’m on the Facebook group.. I’m going to send you some pics of my bastardized Midnight pumpkin, she is hysterical but keeps up with modern stadium trucks..
I remember our local hobby shop back in 1993 had a kit that he essentially broken down into parts. He was left with a chassis and body parts plus some screw bags. No one wanted the rest so he binned it.
My first hobby grade! Still have it and it still runs too! Need to update the electronics though. Why would you do silver around the front windshield yet not do the side windows? I never painted mine when I first got it, as I was 11 years old and just wanted to run it! LOL! Looks fantastic! very well done from what I see!!
Thanks buddy 😊. Yeah I wanted to do the side windows in Silver but I couldn’t get the masking on properly 😬. It would 100% look better if I could of done that 😤
@@TAMIYALegends dude she one of THE classics. I spent the last 2 weeks thinking what I should do next, did Blackfoot and Wild Willy. Grasshopper was my first, probably wanna do that, or Frog/HotShot/BigWig. Can’t wrap my head around that decision 🤯
@TamiyaLegends Great truck, thinking it maybe my next build unless I can get the Avante or Egress. Not seen the grill in person, so not sure which part is being painted. If it's just the edges, have you tried a Cotton Bud (Q-Tips if American) you could even practice on something else before hand, there's also the ex-fine pens for in between. Practice makes perfect. Great video.
Well, all in all you did a great restoration, it's a pity that you don't show how you mount the stickers, especially around the Custom 150, which only distinguishes this one original check from a conversion, the Ford V and H can be made after the Custom F150 but also not that it would not be noticed, at least not yet in mom! You can't have everything, but you can also see it in your videos... where is the cover of the heat stone, but it doesn't fall on everything is good, all in all it's a top video, oh and since it's our turn, the fender turn signal painting is missing too. But I don't want to put that down here as a reprimand or reproach your videos are beautiful and very informative only if you say something stick to the facts exactly the tire stickers never existed. :-() thank you.
Looks great. I always feel there’s so much pressure painting an original and definitely 35-40 year old decals can be more difficult to work with and seem more prone to lifting than re re stuff.
Thanks Phil yeah I did think about that tbh 😬. But since this video I’ve now got it done, it’s pretty incredible just how much of a difference it actually makes 😊 Thanks as always for watching my friend 🤩👊🏻
I had a BF but got run over by the neighbor, I was like 14 at that time and was gutted. All my saving went into it. I got the re-re now . You should check out Molotow Liquid Chrome pens, they're amazing.
Glen, why didn’t you use the pen for the windscreen surround? You caused yourself extra work masking there. I used a Blackfoot shell as a base for a box art Ford Ranger this year and used a pen freehand for the window surround. Much much easier than masking and painting. Mine looks fantastic. Also the front bumper has a painted strip along the top under the grill I believe like the Ranger does. Good job though on yours 👍🏼
Im not keen on the blackfoot...actually..Never have..and never will :) BUT...it does look good in its own way though...but i have never had the tingles when looking at it :) Im more of a Bruiser kinda guy if we have to talk about truckes ;) And the Clodbuster and Juggernaut aswell ;) But...very nice build mister.Greetings from Norway ,Stefan
Enjoyed the video and looks a great job, I'd be really interested to know what prep you did on the hard shell prior to painting in the TS-14 as I'm about to do the same job.
Yeah this one wasn’t mine unfortunately so it destined for the glass cabinet 😊 But if you can tune in tomorrow it’s the Monster Beetle 🤩. This one has two excellent running videos coming soon 😊😊😊
do you notice the vintage original sticker sheets showing any signs of degrading or do they hold up over the years? love to hear your experience on this as I have many tamiya kits awaiting my attention
Hey Mike, Tbh in my experience there always pretty much spot on. I’ve had an odd set that hadn’t been stored correctly over the years, probably dampness I guess 🤷🏼♂️ But it’s very few and far between 😊👊🏻

@@TAMIYALegends those shiney areas are so smooth. I just stripped a Blackfoot body for my Sassy Chassis, so maybe Im just used to sanding..lol. i like this channel. I wouldnt worry about anything changing in the 10th. Its most likely a political thing
