Those corner bits are insane
Yuppers, they took a while to make for sure!
Beautiful work! Most young guys can’t build a dang thing without a 3D printer. True craftsman!
Thank you very much! 😊
Dude seeing all this (part1 and 2) just now. That’s crazy craftsmanship and quality. Bravo my dude. You give me inspiration for trying out styrene building. Aloha from Hawaii bro 🤙🏻
very practical guy who have excellant ability teach others. Your parents should be proud of you. Wish you good health.
You have a lot of skill and a lot more balls to cut up such an nice 110 body. Great work
First time I've seen a 130 done, let alone a high capacity pick up. Great work.
That's a large reason why I was interested in making this! Thanks for the kind words!
I'm blown away... how, I can't build a box to save my life and you build this?
my goodness those corner pieces turned out amazing
Sorry to admit this so late... but I build strictly 1:24 scale - but there is a lot to learn about fabrication from the RC world. In my world it only has to look relatively functional - you guys have to actually make it work. You Rock!!
Beautiful work
Want to thank for both videos even though I'm not into RC stuff. But you showed what can be done with styrene, so it was another lesson learned.
You're welcome! Glad you could find them useful!
typically a bottle of superglue will mention the bonding time, usually being a few seconds , and by that it refers to the time you should keep it supported firmly in contact for initial adhesion. after a moment you can let go and it will keep its place on its own if its not being stressed.. but the label should also mention the minimum cure time until full mechanical strength, typically this ranges from 2 to 6 some even 12 hours.
I guess an hour should be fine to continue working on it in most cases. tight seams dry quickest.
just a tip:
the bigger the surface area of the bonding faces, the more it can withstand sooner. . so for any parts that prove challenging to get to stay together, my tip would definitely to try finding any area's were you can angle your cut faces so that the bond surface moves into a joining seam over a diagonal cross section.
Great build man, very impressive how much detail you achieve in these projects. amazing skills
Wow! I have never seen so much skill with styrene
Craftmanship
Thank you very much!
You did an awesome job and I couldn't be happier with it! Now I just have to do it justice with the rest of the build! Thanks again!
You're most welcome man! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
RCCulture how is it coming along
Waiting for the paint to dry before part 5?
Great work! It turned out perfectly! I can't wait to see it in person!
Thanks Chris! Let me know how you like it, I'm looking forward to seeing your work in it too (albeit sadly *not* in person!) Happy New Year man, hope life is treating you well!
Try Oatey ABS to PVC green transition cement. You can find it at most hardware stores in the plumbing section by your regular PVC cement used for plastic plumbing pipes. It does tend to melt or weld the plastic pieces so use it wisely. But once the bond is dry and secure, it is literally a weld. I've had good luck using it to weld ABS body pieces together. The green glue that is overlapped or excess glue hardens and is sandable. Outstanding work BTW. 👍
I noticed that you are using a pair of needle nose pliers to bend/cut the styrene. When I was modifying a toy car's interior to fit inside a scale RC, I used that exact same method. I had no idea that people actually cut plastic that way as that was my first scale RC project and I was merely improvising with the tools I had at my disposal. Thanks for the video. Maybe I'll attempt using styrene someday in the future.
Awesome work. I was impressed with the first video pick up tub, and the crew cab body is brilliant too.
Thanks Davie, I appreciate the kind words!
Total Awesomeness.....
This is very impressive! Awesome work. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the kind words!
Wow you are a true artist I wish I could be like you, you are so talented and the model looks perfect
Well thanks so much Thomas, that's very kind of you! Practice makes perfect I guess, you can totally do stuff like this if you want to enough :)
Always want to but it doesn't always come out right though I will keep practicing
You're really good at it
I have to say I am rather impressed. Great skill set you work with. Thanks for sharing.
I don't like those Land Rovers but what you did was really awesome. Land Rover pickup sweet
Thank you! :)
oh yeah man you are great with stryene
Glad to see how its coming out!!
Thanks man!
Awesome build.
Pretty cool stuff they came up for artists and crafters can work with and build stuff from scratch built with the styrene and other components for modeling.
You have amazing patience what did you do and how did you do it to get to this point with your patience not rushing anything absolutely is a benefit and a skill that you have mastered thank you for your video sorry about the compliments just amazing I cannot wait to go through your library of videos thanks for the knowledge
Thanks Jeremy, means a lot!
Completely new to the rc scene, that pair of vids was an awesome deal maker for me on lexan body vs hard body, very unique, again awesome tutorial
Glad they could help you out man! Thanks for the feedback!
Wow! You sir are an Artisan. Amazing
Thanks! Very kind of you to say!
Dood! You're so good at this! I'm not an RC fanatic but I find your methods useful for dioramas which I would like to start to get involved in. Thanks man!
Hey glad it could help out!
Great Job..... Very Nice 👌🤩👍
Now maybe an interesting snippet here , that i'm sure many haven't even considered yet . I've been doing this kind of thing for years with models , however recently i've been working on a really big model , using these very same techniques . Actually , the big model is 1:1 , ahem full size , though probably small in some people's eyes . I have a 3 ton motorhome , where plastic is heavily used . That motorhome is 20 years old , so some of the trim parts are no longer available . Yes i've been scratch building them !
Now i'll be the first to admit , this is a bit of an overkill , some techniques are different , glues are different , and certainly the plastic is different , but overall the theory is exactly the same .
I've recently repaired the front bumper . Basically scrap , i had to replace large sections of plastic that were beyond repair , with new . These parts needed epoxy to be fitted , before being plastic welded in place . The result , now sprayed these areas are invisible , and the bumper looks new . Currently i'm in the process of converting the dashboard from single , to double din , so a modern media system can be fitted . This is nearing completion .
What i'm trying to say here , is don't just write this off , as a silly hobby . Modelling , scratch building in particular is a very useful skill to learn . It gives you a can do attitude , and the ability to solve problems , that may seem impossible , trust me , that's where i started .
Awesome work, very nice details, wicked good shot and editing!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words!
Mr. Fanatic what took you so long. But I'll forgive you. Thumbs up even before finishing watching your video.
Haha, life got in the way too many times, should have been done ages ago but it doesn't really matter now. Thanks a ton man, cheers!
HOLY CRAP YOU HAVE SKILLS! saw pt1 and damn. wish i could work with styrene like that!
Amazing. Been thinking of giving this a go. I have a classic car of which no scale models of exist and hope to make maybe a 1:5 scale. I've done model making before in my collage days but using resins and molds for film props so I know how time consuming and difficult it is! Keep up the good work man, this is great!
That's awesome sir, a 1:5 scale model would be amazing... and huge! I think a glued styrene body may be too weak for a model that large ... using your previous knowledge, you may want to look into creating a buck which you can then either A: vacuum form over with Lexan ... or B: create a silicon mold and slush cast a part. I did that with the D110 build and it worked out great!
Best of luck in your projects, and thanks so much for commenting! Hope to see you around!
Glad to see it done!
You and me both! ;) Hope you're well man!
Brilliant. I enjoyed watching you create such a masterpiece and all the tips are really useful. I may even attempt some styrene work myself.
Great! That's exactly why I made these videos... to get others interested! Let me know if you do give it a try, and thanks for commenting!
Master craft man. .!! awesome. .
Haha, yay for Canadian Tire! :)
That was awesome - very well done.
Thanks man!
Astonishing work !
awesome job!!!
Awesome work ... I like it ..!
Thanks very much!
Wow, well done! 🤘
Thank you!
For sure, I didn't even know about styrene body's. I just watched a vid from RC Overload and found your stuff.
I love you tube because of expert people like you who take the time to make great inspiring videos that show people if they take take the time and have patience.....a lot of patience 😆 we too can make amazing things! I will definitely attempt one day 🍻
Ha, that's great man! Really glad the video could spark an idea or two, and I wish you the best of luck if you do give it a try! Cheers man!
Amazing work, well done.
Much appreciated!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA, AMIGO MUY GUAPO. MUCHAS IDEAS EN UN SOLO VIDEO. GRACIAS SALUD Y SUERTE.
Awesome! Thumbs up!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome build, I'm planning to mods my spare d90 bodyshell into a 2 door pickup defender 110.
Great job
Wow. A craftsman for sure. Very impressive work friend.. another sub here..☺ thanks for sharing
Thank you! Hope to hear from you again on the next video! Cheers!
Great job .. well done :) Enjoyed following this :)
Thanks Joe, I appreciate the feedback!
MrRcFanatik Very welcome. :)
Hi, I think you can make the rubber lines for the curved windows if you create a wood stencil with the inner glass frame shape so you can curve the styrene frame to the wood with heat. The wood resist the heat more than the styrene, and you can repeat the process. I got this idea by just watching your video. Thanks.
great build great video lots of info planning on trying to build my own body soon
👍 Amazing land rover & craftwork 👍
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!
If you want to bend styrene without breaking it (as happened at 8:15,) dip it in some very hot water for just a moment, then bend and hold it in the shape you want.
Amazing work! A true artist.
Thanks for the kind words Johnny!
any time! You rule! Amazing work!
you my friend are a master
Lol, that's kind of you to say James! Thanks for watching!
awesome man
Thanks! +KING RC
love your work
Beautiful work man!
Any chance you could show us a styrene build semi engine or tips on doing so. I have a scratchbuild project (Peterbilt 389) in mind with lowboy/drop deck for a scratch build Houseboat. Had Aluminum in mind but getting impressed with Styrene builds as I'm seeing more videos. Thanks
Great job👍
You should make a small vac former. Takes like ten minutes if you have an old plastic ammo can or even a big Tupperware thing. I made one and even tho it’s a home made piece of crap it’s completely changed my styrene game.
incredible - thanks or the tutorial ....... 👍👍😎👍👍
Hands down, this looks awesome. Great job!
Are you willing to make a second one?
Hey sorry man, this was a one-off ... and having built three different Land Rovers so far, I'm getting out of them for a bit! Glad you liked it so much though, thanks for commenting!
+MrRcFanatik Wish I had the skill to make on my self, looks Easy when you do it....
Give it a try man, you'll only get better with practice! Don't forget, I managed to get a 4'x8' sheet of the stuff for about $30 from a local plastic supplier, and glue is only about $5/bottle... that's pretty cheap, and tons of material to have attempts, fails and successes!
it s crew cab defender,good job,
Wow!!! Amazing!!! I wonder how to learn about it. I really want to learn!!!
You have skills, thanks for the video.
Thanks again man!
Beautiful job. Is that a Tata Motors Land Rover 130?
Great video, amazingly talented!!!
Thanks a ton!
you really are the best,
thank you again

signed French
Thanks man, glad you like it!
This is great. One question: for the difficult doubly-curved corners on the roof, why didn't you use styrofoam or some other bulk material instead of stacking up lots and lots of plasticard?
Good question! I had a ton of styrene and glue on hand... That's about it! Why spend money on more materials if I could use what I already had 🤷🏼♂️... Did take a while but at the time that wasn't a huge problem. 👍
un trabajo impresionante, muy muy bueno, felicitaciones !!!!1
¡Muchas gracias!
Amazing work, can’t believe it’s taken me so long to find this video! So how do I go about commissioning you to build a custom body for me???
You should make a defender 150 6x6
Thats pretty EPIC
awsome job, i think i leared some technices to use with gunpla as well
This is great
Very nice, I like the music cuts. Did you make a mold of the crew cab? Good thing you have the D110 mold. How did you make the airplane effect at the end? Great video like always. Hope you're well!
Hey buddy long time no speak! Thanks for the kind words, no I didn't make a mold this time, was a one-off for RCCulture. That effect is a plugin on my editor, kinda spiffy, eh! I'm good, life keeps me busy, but managing to stay healthy amid all this dumb changeable weather! Hope you and Bear and the rest of the gang are well too man! :)
you should have canadian shoot as sponsor
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!! merci
You are awesome, just watched 1 and 2, you detail is unprecedented. I'm trying to learn for an interior I need in 1/10 scale rock bouncer. Do you do work on other peoples rc, or just custom builds
Thanks Rodney! I have worked with a few guys in the past, however, I've moved onto different things these days. Cheers and thanks again for the kind words!
Fantastic
Cheers man!
This was wonderful. How much do you charge to build bodies?
wow, very cool!!!
Why not just use the back window from the portion you detached? That way the left and right curves would be a match without all that extra work. Nice build of a Hummer !!!!
Sorry 'bout that. Didn't realize the back of the 4-door was squared off.
Awsome job! Your videos can teach a man anything!
You have a new subscriber !
I would like to know how you made the locks of the tailgate. I 'm going to build a trailer of styrene and I would like to use this technique to lock the doors.
Very kind, thanks man! I didn't go into any real detail on the locks, but around 9:16 in Part 1 you can get the idea!
Best of luck.
hey did you build the whole land Rover Defender 90 i love to have a copy of a whole build any thing would be nice i know i keep asking but i really enjoy working with strene an cause i really have nothing to do yeah i run my rock crawlers some but theres not much room to run them but i do thank you for listening to me my friend
Excellent work impressive skills, would have linked to seen it totaly finished and detailed tho! Update!!!
Thank you! I too would love to see it finished, but RC Culture has been very busy and has had technical difficulties with some other people who are helping with his build. As far as I know he's still trying to get it finished though :)
Cheers!
nice informative video...
Can you make a silicone mould of a finished styrene piece ?, Im trying to make sci fi panels for an art piece, And modelling the panels in clay isn't going to work to well so im thinking styrene.
which one is better..using styrene or pvc foam board for RC hard body??
wow!
Ha, thanks! :)
looks great!
I loved. Jyst try to lern about steryne. Thanks for sharing . 👍 and sub....
I plan to build an expedition vehicle out of a Tamiya Unimog 425 body, and my question is, do you need to frame out the "box" first with styrene strips? What thicknesses do you recommend for the frame and sidewalls?
Not sure I 100% get what you're saying, but usually 0.080" styrene is good for structural areas (but hard to work with), and 0.040" or smaller is good for areas where a bit more detail or curvature is needed. And like I mentioned in one of these videos, you can always stack a few layers up to gain the thickness and strength if needed! Best of luck with your project, I hope that helped a bit!
How do you bend the styrene and not have it look "wonky"?
Great video. just decided to find a hobby and this one is my favorite. where did you find the template sheet and the land Rover body you cut. Thanks for sharing your skill.
Hi John, I made them! I looked at photos of real Landrovers and figured out the dimensions I'd need to use to fit the box to the scale of the body. If you watch my old series on the custom D110 you will see how I made the body that was cut up in this video. Cheers, and hope you enjoy your new hobby!
Do you make custom build styrene bodies for smaller scale models?
