- This custom die cast build was part of a challenge with another member of the Gaslands Facebook group. The base car was the HW50 Concept from Hot Wheels and the theme was samurai. This video includes elements of "how-to" but is mostly showing you how I did it.

This video pops up in my recommended videos from time to time. It’s still one of my favorite custom built cars ever.
Wow thanks! That means a lot to me. I feel like my videos have gotten a lot better over the last few monyhs but this build was solid and really fun to make 👍
OK, this rivet work is great, I mean the whole car beautyful, but the rivets nailed it.
Thank you! The small details add so much to a build if you take the time to add them!
Now I want this man same with the creepy crawly bugs I really want one of those bugs
Just found you and I can’t stop binging!
Hey thanks! I'm really glad you enjoy the videos 😁
I thought I had a pretty good imagination?.... until ..I saw three videos of you die cast guru's
Y'all took cars and truck and 18 wheelers 1/64. Of stuff that I wouldn't have bought. And made works of art
I'm just now getting into restoring die cast cars ..but I'm not anywhere near this talented the samurai car is great
Imagination level 10. 💯
Thank you! Just start making cars and it'll come to you!
Thats some next level kitbashing there!
Thank you! Sometimes the bits just fits
This build is KILLER. Love the ideation and the kitbashing.
Thank you! This was really fun to make and I like the result too!
BOOOOOOMM!!!!
Cheers! 😎👍
Ben this thing turned out amazing. I'm super impressed with what you did. It definitely looks like what you were going for. Great job as always my friend.
Thank you! I really like it too! I think it's my favorite so far. Either this or my wind powered jeep
Ben! I have Subscribed to your Channel for 2 Reasons, 1- I like the Way that you Enthusiastically Talk about the Project as it Almost became News Event Commentary like! 2-I REALLY Appreciate the Fact that you Play the Music on a Lower Volume as to Accentuate the Commentary instead of like some Channels just BLARING Music with 0 Commentary. I like the Theme of the Build and I look forward in seeing more Modification Videos.
Thanks fot subscribing and for the great feedback! Im glad you like the videos. My plan is to post at least once a week!
@@BPCustomCreations Thank you for your Kindly Response. Like My Mom always said! "The More, The Merrier!. Keep up the Great Work!
whenever I sand harder plastics/cardstocks, I save the sanded dust or powder and it works the exact same as baking soda to fill gaps, just thought I'd throw this tip out there for you 👍
Thanks! I've done that too. Sometimes the size of the particles can be bigger or smaller than baking soda too
Nice job.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing!
Watching the process is like going through unexpected journey.
(Original resemblance to the Predator was soooo funny. And - just me, but I'm also a freak for details - the sword lacks a handle :) )
It's an unexpected journey for me too as I have no plan going in 😂 it takes shape from whatever bits I remember I have. No handle, but then, the car has no hands 😛 thanks for watching and the great comments!
I love how this came out, but I learned some tricks in the process of watching too so thats a huge plus!!
That's so cool to hear from you, Keith! Thanks for watching 😎
I love every aspect of this video. Those green bits were amazing! 😆 Excellent job on everything buddy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! Sometimes it's just meant to be. 😎
Really cool man!
I love this design samurai design so freaking awesome! Came here after meeting you in Andy's live stream. Keep it up!
Thanks Ric! I just subbed you and saw some of your videos! Incredible work 👍
@@BPCustomCreations Big thanks!
Production and audio quality getting better each video, really nice one, and the build was great to boot.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it
Also accelerator spray will harden the glue instantly. Also from starbond
For sure! I don't have access to any super glue accelerator products here in Japan. I've looked around before but haven't found one yet. Adam Savage talks about the difference between using an accelerator and using baking soda in a video about styrene building too. Definitely worth a watch if you're interested.
Excellent video! Great quality! I learned stuff and I was entertained. I've wanted to do a Darth Vader car for a while now and I can definitely implement techniques learned from this video too that goal! Thank you!!
That sounds awesome! Im glad I could help you get closer to making a Vader car. Be sure to post it when you get it done!
your creativity is mind blowing Ben, what an awesome build. Thanks for sharing with us.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind comments :)
Fantastic build Ben! I love how you layered the card stock for the helmet…not to mention all of the detail!
Thank you sir!
I really cant help but add little bits. It almost paints itself and takes drybrushing and washes well too!
Simply put...that's Bitchin'!!!!
Thanks, man! 😎👍
Try starboard. Alot of their glue comes with a variety ot tip sizes
Yeah, I saw their products in America but I'll have to keep an eye out for them here. For now I've found a good product for my needs.
We're did you get your little coke-spoon ya use in your videos?
😂 I think it's Tamiya brand for mixing paints
Dumb question. Why didn't you strip the paint before adding the cardstock? Better surface for gluing
I usually do but this paint on particular is a kind of matte finish that doesn't want to come off. It's a different paint than most hot wheels.
@@BPCustomCreations The PIA one that laughs at stripper.
What is the tiny spoon you are using for the application of the baking soda.
I'm not 100% sure but I think it is some kind of hobby tool for mixing paint. It has a flat scraper side on the other end. It was in a box of hobby supplies I bought second hand.
@@BPCustomCreations I have done some digging and incase anyone else asks you can get similar things on amazon under the name of spice spoons or bigger ones called snuff spoons.
For anyone who doesn’t know, store your super glue/Ca glue in the freezer.. it will last forever
Wow! Never actual heard about that. How does it work? Do you mean the unopened ones?
What size drill bit are you using?
I used a 4mm drill bit but it depends on the car. Some cars and brands have smaller or larger posts.
when you play too much crossout :D
I've never played 😂
