You could have told me that the pain job turned out 100% as intended, and it would have made no difference at all. This thing looks GOOD! Well done sir!
THANK YOU! I went right into panic mode! I thought it was done. Mind was racing. Working it wet was key. I think, had I waited any longer and the paint had set up, it would have been tough to fix.
@@VermontScaleCustoms I bet it was a bit of a rush too, huh? I really enjoy the scale aspect of this platform, warts and all. Making mistakes is part of it. But even better than success is pulling off a winner in the face of disaster. What you learned from it alone will be invaluable with your future builds. Sounds cheesy but true. Either way, I'm enjoying following you along. Thanks friend.
Thanks! Purely accidental and just glad it wasn't a total failure. Could use an airbrush touch up session (took a chunk out of the top of the tail gate recently - needs weathering to match)
Nothing but praise. I really like those wheels and tires. That body style suits the scx24 platform. I feel that with a small bucket, some tiny paint brushes, and a step ladder in the back, this would be a believable house painters daily driver.I like it when a rig looks lived in. Cheers!
Thank you! Once I put those W&T on, I knew it was meant to be. I like your add-on suggestion. I'll have to keep my eye out for some stuff! Thanks again and🥂
I love how the paint job turned out, I think it looks awesome. Appreciate you sharing. Catch you on the next one until then peace and chicken grease. 😁👍👍😎
Thank you! Nick showed this to me months ago and it's been on my mind since. Super psyched I grabbed it. And, thank you, very happy it wasn't ruined. Thankfully, I was able to salvage it! I might do a little more.
I think your channel and rigs kick ass and I appreciate your content. It’s actually one of my most watched channels, I’m even waiting for all my parts for my Vermont scale customs inspired cj wpl.
It's always satisfying to hear that influence is being passed on. I see it in other builds and make my own. Others see mine and then make their own. I'm really glad WPL has grown as much as it has. The following is enormous now.
Beautiful work brother I hope and pray that you keep pushing forward I mean unless you really don't want to you know if it becomes unhappiness then obviously nobody's going to want to be there you know but you know just you sharing does help people
Thank you, William. Yeah, combined with the friction from facebook groups on some days, the stuff that goes on here, it can make things a bit challenging to stay interested. I appreciate the compliments and I enjoy that people do manage to glean some information from the videos.✌️😎
I just subscribed, like what I've seen so far! You will never get anything negative from me. Questions and discussions you may get! I love this hobby and probably have too many rc vehicles!
Thank you! Stick around for more. Sometimes I get inspired, lol! Feel free to ask anything. I'm usually pretty good for writing a short essay for an answer ;)
That's what I said when Nick showed it to me. Wanted to buy it ever since! Yeah, never understood why the FJ40 body is available in a variety of scales but not so much on the FJ45. The Element a few years ago was sick! And I really like the one they did just last year. But, all lexan. I think since it showed up for the TRX4M that it may finally appear for 1/10 but what do I know?
Thank you! It's a sleeper truck, too. One of my best performers. I think it's pretty close to the C-Bolt WB. The rear links are from @albin_deisnged - some custom titanium which are few mm different than the deadbolt rears. I think this came out a hair longer but only like 1 or 2 mm difference.
This came from WT Micro over at Etsy. You'll have to sign up for the mailing list and jump when the notification arrives that he's restocked. They go fast. Good luck! www.etsy.com/shop/WTmicro
Beautiful rig, I’m in the process of getting parts to build one Unfortunately there’s always going to be dickheads with huge egos that feel the need to put people down so they can attempt to be happy. Just don’t feed the trolls
You know I have a ridiculous amount of time available right now as a full time live-in caregiver. I could easily build an FJ for you. The body is still available at Etsy.
Ive never seen paint look this realistically weathered wow
Thank you! I managed to salvage a complete disaster and make it look alright! Thanks for the sub.
@@VermontScaleCustoms only happy accidents haha

Thank you, Andy! Really liking this one, myself. Each one just ends up with its own character.
Great addition Mark!
Such a cool little FJ.
Oh those mistakes are the best,as what came out of it,is a nice weathered paint

Love this build! These bodies are a cool option and I think this came out great.
Thank you! I just could not pass this up. I was glad he still had it for sale!

Man your arsenal of awsomeness is epic!!!
Thank you! I agree, this one really seemed to tie the room together.
Hello,
Great video, nice presentation, I really liked it.!👍
Greetings Seven🖖
Thank you, Seven, thanks for watching!🖖😎
Wow I'd biy that. That sick.
To bad no one makes a hard body like that for the VRD Carbon
That's what I said when Nick showed it to me. Wanted to buy it ever since!

Definitely lemonade Mark.
Haha! Thank you, Christopher.🍻
Really awesome and clean build!!! Where did you get the stands for the rigs???!
Thank you! Love the WT Micro stuff. Those are Ramp Crab stands found those at Amazon 3/$20 - just looked and it seems they're no longer available.
Stock c10 wheel base or c-bolt? and i assume those are the tall grippers? Looks amazing!
Thank you! It's a sleeper truck, too. One of my best performers. I think it's pretty close to the C-Bolt WB. The rear links are from @albin_deisnged - some custom titanium which are few mm different than the deadbolt rears. I think this came out a hair longer but only like 1 or 2 mm difference.
@VermontScaleCustoms I just order a wt micro fj for a winter build. Thanks for the inspiration!
You're welcome! Have fun with the build, they're little trucks, congrats!
Can you tell me please, where do you find that FJ45 Body?

i can print a pinched hilus body for the scx24, i printed one for mine
Nice! I have the new Injora IR60 body kit for 1:24 on the way.
@@VermontScaleCustoms i js made an scx24 moon buggy chassi that u can 3d print, its pretty dope
Sounds good. I'm sitting on a custom Titanium buggy chassis and links from @albin_designs that I still need to build or give away one or the other.
Beautiful rig, I’m in the process of getting parts to build one
Unfortunately there’s always going to be dickheads with huge egos that feel the need to put people down so they can attempt to be happy. Just don’t feed the trolls
Thanks! I stretched the wheelbase out to 145mm and it’s so good now. Climbs like a champ.
Re:trolls, yeah I’ve gotten good at blocking people.
You dont want that.. how much 😂
You know I have a ridiculous amount of time available right now as a full time live-in caregiver. I could easily build an FJ for you. The body is still available at Etsy.
Great looking rig
Thanks and thanks for watching!
