No way forums are dead. Best thing about forums is that you chose what you want to look at, not what an algorithm thinks you should see. More importantly these builds are epic - great work!

WOW!!!!!! 😳💯 Just WOW! Matt, I'm as blown away as you are. Wood Builds always mesmerize... Wes is a MASTER, and I've seen several amazing builds from him. BUT RICHARD'S TACO!!!! OMFG! Both my Wife and I did several double takes. I first told her "That's a Model"... She said "NO WAY!" I mean we were literally floored by that one. I'd like to start posting on the Forum again... but in our current situation, I often slip, and tell People things that they obviously don't want to hear. I cannot and will not push or force anyone to help us - but receiving rude and threatening responses, I didn't feel was appropriate either. Some time in the next few Months (2-3), I will be receiving a HUGE Inheritance that we've been impatiently waiting over 11 years for!! So.... After that. I Plan on Paying it Forward to anyone in the Community who might need Help. Who are in the same degrading, demoralizing, dehumanizing position that we've been forced to endure. I promise you that ANYONE who needs help, even if I don't like them personally, WILL get help! With that, we both truly wish you and your Family the most Joyous of Holiday Seasons and an awesome 2021!! 😊 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Awsome build man and amazing point work on that body wow nobody realizes how much work goes into prepping styrene body before painting and how hard it really is to get that glass shone and stripes with out bleeding and carving all the other styrene for inside of that camper was tons of sanding really tiny areas and parts to shape great build man

The tacoma is highly impressive. Ive been looking for a tacoma body for a very long time, eventually someone will make a simple hardcopy that doesn't require printing. I don't quite have the time for the 3d printed option. That time goes to my 1:1 land cruiser, ha. Great builds here.

@joesmith4222 3 жыл бұрын

I take my tablet and hook it up to my flat screen via hdmi cable. Then I find the vehicle or parts, go to the tv with a ruler, zoom the tablet to the right size on tv, tape on a piece of tracing paper and turn down the lights and sketch it out lightly with a pencil. Then you can scroll around and change the paper without changing the size.👍

Wish more forums were still active, Rc or otherwise. Facebook groups aren't even close to being comparable. Build logs, Technical/how to sections and everything else all have their own place to go and it's easy to browse and find things you're looking for. Something about having to actually sign up an entire new account to be a part of a community seemed to thin out the people who don't really have anything positive/worthwhile to contribute too...

@TPDazzle 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. The information on FB is organized so poorly. Different people asking the same questions over and over. On the forums they could just see all the info and click on that category. . . The only thing that is a better on FB is the ease of posting pictures. Everything else is garbage. Yet that is where everyone is . . . Sigh.

I remember following along with the LS Mail Jeep build on Instagram as he posted progress pics. That was such a cool build. I can’t believe the Apache isn’t getting more love in the comments, it’s wild! I‘m biased since Apaches hold a special place in my heart, but that truck is my favorite of all of these. These are all really great builds though. I’d love to see someone tackle the ‘60 and ‘61 Apaches with all of those intricate details. The hood “eyebrows” and the grilles for both would be tough to replicate.

Its amazing how the hobby has taken off into a whole different level of detailing! And it all started with tamiya's bruiser and then axial! Also rc4wd has taken the hobby into a totally realistic level. I would like to see your jeep jl build, i think it looks amazingly realistic!👌😎👍

@OptimisticPessimist 3 жыл бұрын

It’s incredible just how detailed these models are! And well said on the usefulness on forums. It’s a shame they aren’t as big as they could be, I’ve learned so much from cruising old posts that I never would’ve learned by joining a Facebook group. They’re veritable tomes of information, and the day that we lose forums for good will be a dark day indeed.

I wish you did more videos like this showing off all the cool builds, understand the best of the year. but I find myself watching these over and over for inspiration and would find a series like these could pair well with lightroom like the opposite tone. this is all about the best. could focus a few videos like this on the less complex or minimal builds.
