I've been looking at making some little scenes using humvees that I want to "blow up" and I've been humming and hawing over whether to buy them or not. You've convinced me--time to just make some of my own! Outstanding work, as always.

@TheNorwegianBadger 2 года назад

Love your tiny nerdy things as well. Don’t think I’ve seen the “blowing up” project… maybe the dragon?

@-RM- 2 года назад

Very nice. This reminds me of the movie "Bridge on the River Kwai". Recreating the Kwai River bridge as a diorama would also be cool!

Are you kidding me? You scratchbuilt a WWI soviet truck? You're living the dream!!! If I could, I would give you 10 likes for that video.

@mr.pissedoff1903 2 года назад

Not Soviet if this is before ww1.

@destinycaptain247 3 года назад

You called Matchbox the off brand… there was a time when it was the main brand and another time when it was neck and neck with Hotwheels…

@paulguthrie4857 2 года назад

Now it's the same company.....lol

@allenmutschall4080 2 года назад

I was going to say just that, Matchbook cars have been around long before Hot Wheels.

@pochoroque 3 года назад

When doing explosions like that, I recommend fiber optic fibers at the end of each smoke tip, some cut closer and others long, it gives the effect of embers/burning debris flying

@philRminiatures 4 года назад

Awesome job, the explosion effect adds a lot...nice tribute to Hemingway!

@agamzxhv11 2 года назад

3:52 Did he just say matchbox is the off brand company? It’s not, it started it’s own business but then hasbro wanted to take their idea so they manufactured the same cars, but matchbox couldn’t find a way to make the wheels spin smoothly on the cars so hasbro took their advantage, and they used plastic strings as the axles holding the wheels. Soon everyone thought they were original and matchbox was basically forgotten.

@johnphilippatos 2 года назад

I grew up with Matchbox back in the late seventies. Hasbro and Mattel were nowhere to be found here in Greece at the time. So, while technically matchbox is not the parent company nowadays, it seems to me that it really is in terms of concept.

@Coleslaw-qr9gl 2 года назад

Bro matchbox started 31 years before HOTWEELS But for real nice job it looks great

@Chewbacca6334 Год назад

Great work as usual, but Matchbox is not an "off brand". It is a much older company than Hotwheels.

@dy9955 2 года назад

Matchbox cars predate Hot Wheels by 15 years. Hot Wheels are the "off brand".

@j0sph 2 года назад

Matchbox is made by matel which is the same owner as hotwheels. Fun fact of the day. I'm just a year late 🙃

Very well done for a scratch build and I liked the story as you were building it. Well done!

@j3054 4 года назад

Ok. I’m convinced you are Adam Savage. We’re gonna need some I.D. Your work is on a whole other level than I’m used to seeing in this topic. It’s like an MLB player showing up to a little league game. I’m going through your channel and loving all your stuff! I know diddley about how to make money with RU-vid, but you should be. I’m going to be spreading your channel name around to hopefully get you more views and subs.

@Boylei 4 года назад

Again, thank you so much for your encouragement. Adam Savage is, not surprisingly, a huge inspiration of mine. I wouldn’t compare the quality of my creations to his, but honored that you would!

@BritishBeeMan 3 года назад

Wait... was it actually a Matchbox car or just a cheap brand? Matchbox are the original.

@willthorson4543 3 года назад

Now this is different. Lol.looks like the one from the movie. Definitely Check It out. The bridge blowing up was pretty awesome for 1939. And on the armor? It was mostly Russian and German from the 1930s. Both those countries used the Spanish civil war to test out equipment and tactics.

@wallabaatar 4 года назад

This is excellent! So good, in fact, that it inspired me to post this quote by John Donne: No man is an island, Entire of itself. .. Each man’s death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.

@Maxstam. 2 года назад

I think it's actually really good I'm kind of disappointed that you didn't paint the size of black 3.0 and I think you definitely should have put something under the bridge like maybe epoxy resin or something

@davestinyworkshopotherprojects 3 года назад

Nicely done. I tried that same flicker LED + cotton wool idea for a crashed and burning X-Wing diorama that I built. I had the same trouble with realism, ended up thinning out the cotton a lot, especially inside, making it a little thicker outside than inside. It worked.

@jt.creation_yt Год назад

This is so cool to look at. But if you don’t like it why do you remake it now! 2 years later

@spadexalon5385 3 года назад

This is really cool ! Perhaps the problem with the painting of the car is that the light of the explosion isn't represented on it so it feels like the car is not apart of the scene (excuse my poor French English, sadly I'm not Hemingway !).

What technique/material did you use in the truck canvas to make it fall like it had a good weight to it? I'm working on a quilt for a bed in a book nook and that part had been the biggest hurdle. Thanks.

@Boylei 4 года назад

I pressed down gently in the middle of each span and right along both sides of each arch. I did this while it was mostly dry but still slightly malleable. Send pictures of your project when it’s done!
