Totally! I've been thanking FMS and any other brands that provide warm white leds on their scale cars, but this is a whole new level! It's the real thing! 😍
The gmc truck was before hummers. After the first gulf war i remember seeing many train flatbeds loaded with these cool big trucks. I had an 82 gmc 2500 . loud rusty truck. It had original blue interior paint and exterior painted highway orange. So much fun for slightly more cost of a nice rc truck.
Love the CUCV and glad you got it finished. My longest build was my 53 Ford COE that took just over two years for me to finally be happy with it to call done. Have a great time at the event!
The CUCV turned out really nice. I think I'm around three years on my Tamiya Grand Hauler build, if we consider full-size vehicles... Well after 20 years it still isn't done.
That’s super cool. The longest I have ever worked on a project was probably about 30 minutes. I drilled and screwed on the scale details on the SCX10.ii red Jeep Wrangler.
My longest build: 30+ years. Well it’s not RC but is scale static auto models and it takes a little story. Picture it. The 1990’s in rural Maine. I was an oddly thoughtful child & adolescent who frustratingly only had sporadic, temporary use of a folding card table in the living room to build. Which meant no spray paintwork, body filler, sanding or neurotic detailing for me. Brush painting only. Somehow I was smart enough to only build the chassis, drivelines and some interiors of DOZENS of models. Then I would neatly box them up and add them to my shelves in the basement to “save them for when I am an adult and have a dedicated hobby work bench.” 90’s Tamiya, Lindberg, AMT and some Revell and Monogram. Well now I am 43 and have been home again as 24/7 caregiver for my declining mother for about 5 years to keep her in her own home. Now I’m slowly working on building up an entire maker space because I’ve been building custom scx24 chassis’ for toy bodies. And the treasure trove in the basement is screaming my name…
Really love your videos in general and your weekly updates. -- I really appreciate your making making skills, they are inspirational for sure. Your CUCV truck build looks wonderful, excellent detail.
My eyes are on that '87. Perfect call on pulling the front end in a little. You never realize how wide that looks the way it was before. I think they get that wrong on the 4Runner, too.
I’ve been building this Capra, that I’m just about to finish of course, forvwhet seems like forever! It’s been about a good 6-8 months now! It’s not 3 yrs, but to me it’s way too long!
Would be proud to have that truck in my collection. That truck brings back memories and all the funky leaking motor fluid smells. Sure do miss all my big gmcs. But all gm died untimely motor deaths. Soon to be replaced by old fords. Every old ford had an outstanding performing motor that refused to die and a kickass suspension that never failed me after years of abusive construction work.
Working on a Tamiya 1/14 Globe liner adding bits and pieces now just added leather door panels and doghouse came out ok but think version 2 will have to be done had the truck for 8 years now and add stuff every year think this is one that never be done done…
Yeah! 🎉Congratulations on the CUCV! It looks very good! What's the project that took you the longest, ever? :) New Hilux is looking good! 👌 New hands choreography for the next 100 episodes! 🥳 🙌🙌👐 😁
@@scalebuildersguild Oh absolutely. Thing is, it's the second Sand Scorcher I've bought. Had the first in it's box for 2 years, then gave it away to my grand-nephew when we were visiting at my sister's place and he had just started Uni on an engineering course. I'd been wanting one since seeing one back in about 1980!!!!!!! 😁
I didn't have the time to make that work... 3 years later, LMAO. I'm even worse. Ford still isn't done, LOL. It is racking up miles though. Blew out an XVD a couple weeks ago.
350sbc is a far better engine than the diesel option. The cucv looks great, as does its driver. The toyota is gonna be awesome too 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘☕️🤘
@scalebuildersguild thanks man, y'all too. I got about a quart n a half left in a bottle of bourbon that i might try n find the bottom of... 🤘😁🤘woooooooooooooooooo🤘🥃🤘
Does it have to be an rc car? I restored my TR6 race car to street use. 1986-2003. Then sold it. Way to nice for me to drive. So I started on my'68 firebird.
Styrene filler is best when working with styrene. It all bonds together perfectly and adds a lot of rigidity. I use Bondo glazing putty as a smoother later on though!
Mini matt so perfect. How about that ink. You sure can paint. Maybe 1 day i can buy a truck from you. We use dollars in this country. No wacky coins with the queens face . We got george washington.
can't tell if you use lexan for the mirrors but if you did glad you didn't reset the no lexan counter since it was used for a better scale look on a hard body. never a reset if it goes for hardbody scale looks. 100 times safer then glass

The warmth of the lights really looks great. Perfect build man!
Thank you!

It was worth the wait, the CUCV looks mint.👍🏻
You need a cup that says "I collect projects" hahaha.
Ha!
Hope to see a trail run video of this build soon, absolutely awesome work sir well done!
Coming soon!
That truck looks amazing! Great work! More bumper stickers!!! I need another truck to put them on...
Coming soon!

So happy to see your finished CUCV! Making us Canadians proud! Looks beautiful Matt!
Thank you! Took long enough!
Nice work on that military rig!
Thank you good sir for the advice on using purple power to strip paint last week. It worked very very well.
SBG 4LiFe
Glad I could help!
Nice work! Cool to see the CUCV wrapped up.
Me too!
Definitely worth da 3years spent on it, looks fantastic 👏 👌 👍 😍
Thank you!
Dude, I'm from the US and I'll admit, that's a badass truck no matter which side of the north line you are, you hoser!
Agreed!
I’ll say it again, this truck is perfect. Nailed it Matt!
Thank you!
Love that Chev truck. It turned out fantastic.
Thank you!
Chevy looks awesome loving the old skool lighting!
Thanks 👍
currently painting lexan while watching. let's go lexan!
The chevy looks amazing, wish I could have a truck like that
CUCV Yeah! She is a keeper ❤👍🏻
Great job my man. Dig it!
Thanks!
The cucv turned out great! My fire dept. used to have one as brush unit. My longest build was a lesu excavator took about 6 months.
Very cool!
The CUCV turned out really nice. I think I'm around three years on my Tamiya Grand Hauler build, if we consider full-size vehicles... Well after 20 years it still isn't done.

Great job Matt !! The cucv looks awesome 😎
Thanks! 👍
"Whats on the bench" she said, "toys!" He said ✌😎 Nice work on the trucks Matthew 👍😎
Thanks 👍
That’s super cool.
The longest I have ever worked on a project was probably about 30 minutes. I drilled and screwed on the scale details on the SCX10.ii red Jeep Wrangler.
😂
I agree that these traditional warm lamps are better for old style models
Been away for awhile and Matt you keep inspiring me!
Welcome back and thanks for watching!

That's so cool that you saved all those projects, must be very nostalgic for you! I'm sorry to hear about your mother.
Awesome job Matt!
Thanks!
The longest time I've spent on a build is...
not even close to three years. Hold onto that one for a while.
Congrats.
Thank you!
The cucv turned out awesome
Thank you!
Look the Civilian Urban Combat Vehicle (lol) is finally finished. Looks amazing
Thanks!

Year, maby because Josh wasn here 😙

Cool to see that Camo Chevy finished. Great build.
Thank you!
Amazing build on the cucv 🔥
Thank you!
I’ve been building this Capra, that I’m just about to finish of course, forvwhet seems like forever! It’s been about a good 6-8 months now! It’s not 3 yrs, but to me it’s way too long!
It feels like a weight has been lifted off me, so I encourage you to finish yours!
I didn't like how the side mirrors are... Easy fix. Great project
Would be proud to have that truck in my collection. That truck brings back memories and all the funky leaking motor fluid smells. Sure do miss all my big gmcs. But all gm died untimely motor deaths. Soon to be replaced by old fords. Every old ford had an outstanding performing motor that refused to die and a kickass suspension that never failed me after years of abusive construction work.
Ha!
The tattoos and zombie hands look great!😂
Thanks!
Door card??? “Door Panel”😂
Working on a Tamiya 1/14 Globe liner adding bits and pieces now just added leather door panels and doghouse came out ok but think version 2 will have to be done had the truck for 8 years now and add stuff every year think this is one that never be done done…
Now you need to do a 76 ford f130 so help round out your strange old truck line up
Ate you going to bob the Yota bed? The Chevy came out awesome!
Yeah! 🎉Congratulations on the CUCV! It looks very good! What's the project that took you the longest, ever? :)
New Hilux is looking good! 👌
New hands choreography for the next 100 episodes! 🥳 🙌🙌👐 😁
It might be this one! Or... actually, it took my 11 years to fix the heated floor in our bathroom, so there's that!
@@scalebuildersguild hahahaha! 😄 Something tells me someone is sending a message here... 🤣
I have a 1/24 Volvo F12 RC Semi build that’s been over a year, and will probably take another 6 months
I try and get trucks done VERY quickly. My patience could never take more than a few months on a truck, let alone my attention span.
LoL! My Sand Scorcher and Unimog will take longer than 3 years! Hehe, because I'm keeping 'em in their boxes until I retire, in approx 4 years time! 😉
Worth the wait!
@@scalebuildersguild Oh absolutely. Thing is, it's the second Sand Scorcher I've bought. Had the first in it's box for 2 years, then gave it away to my grand-nephew when we were visiting at my sister's place and he had just started Uni on an engineering course.

I'm waiting for the styrene drift zamboni.
My longest build is currently at 38 years. This body has taken some perfecting
Yikes!
@@scalebuildersguild in case my humour was lost I did mean my body. I’m sorry I’m tir3d
Can you do a review on the primer and paint used on the truck.
A review on paint? I don’t think I could do that. I painted it so long ago I’m not even sure I’d remember!
A pink raisin!
Model Bouw is Dutch for Model Build... ;)
350sbc is a far better engine than the diesel option. The cucv looks great, as does its driver. The toyota is gonna be awesome too 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘☕️🤘
Thanks! Have a great weekend! 🤘
@scalebuildersguild thanks man, y'all too. I got about a quart n a half left in a bottle of bourbon that i might try n find the bottom of...
🤘😁🤘woooooooooooooooooo🤘🥃🤘
haha model bouw is dutch for model making
The body line on the side of the Toyota body is most definitely there in real life.
Yes but it’s not like they modeled it here!
@@scalebuildersguild hmm.....gotcha
The pickup is fantastic ❤. So if I email you 2027 would you sell it to me?
Ha! Maybe!
Its called a lazy E , the sappers decal
I matched it off a real example, so, 🤷🏻♂️
@@scalebuildersguild well now you know
I’m well over 5 years into a Tamiya semi build
You have me beat!
Is your driver scale ? Smooth as a ken doll ? The truck is perfect.
Hahaha! Thanks for the laugh!
The canada cucv was gasoline because diesel would gel up. In other words gasoline was better option if I heard the livestream correctly. 👍
That's correct! In our cold temps, the old diesel wouldn't work, and it gets coooooold here in places!
100th episode idea.
Put your fans on the bench and read comments and answer questions to the best of your ability.
Does it have to be an rc car? I restored my TR6 race car to street use. 1986-2003. Then sold it. Way to nice for me to drive. So I started on my'68 firebird.
If we're doing math and scale it down 1:10 that would be 1.7years
I was told there was not going to be math involved watching this channel.😂
Just had a curiosity why don’t you just use regular Bondo?
Styrene filler is best when working with styrene. It all bonds together perfectly and adds a lot of rigidity. I use Bondo glazing putty as a smoother later on though!
I cheated and bought a couple sets of the cut doors from RC4WD.
Where did you get the cucv bumpers?
I made them! Designed in Fusion and printed on my X1-Carbon.
@@scalebuildersguild Looks great! Do you have some where I can buy the files? I'm looking to make a mini me of my full sized Cucv.
2 minute gang
that hat is almost as bad as your driving... love ya man...
Ha!
LOL. "Model Bouw" is Dutch and literally means "Model Building"
Thats Diet Napalm in a jar
Wait nvm

You know STYREAN is toxic right?
can't tell if you use lexan for the mirrors but if you did glad you didn't reset the no lexan counter since it was used for a better scale look on a hard body. never a reset if it goes for hardbody scale looks. 100 times safer then glass
I used clear plastic, but it wasn’t Lexan!
