I’m NEVER Building one of these again! 

I drank real coffee while I watched this video. Great build.

The decals and the sacks of coffee was a nice touch.

Great choice of colour, really sets off that stunning bed!

For being a pain, missing bits, miss fitting parts, it sure looks fantastic. You did a great job. 👏👏👏

For such a painful build, you did an amazing job! You put a lot of thought, care and effort into this project! 👍👍

I love how it sounds. It's honestly so fitting for the looks as the sound is a bit deeper and more aggressive.

It's builds like this that make me really grateful for RTR's. It's good to see it finally finished and it looks beautiful Phil 👊

It's a pity you didn't enjoy the build but I can appreciate why. All those tiny fixings must have been a real pain and it is annoying when parts don't quite fit as they should. The end result though is superb! The bergundy paint goes well with the wood panels and overall, the detailing has turned out very well.

I'm happy to see it's done. Sorry it was a pain. You're great, Merry Christmas.

as much as I wish I could contribute.. Im in a rough spot right now but love the build.. learned a bunch.. hope who ever wins it can appreciate it!!

I know It was a lot of work but mate that thing came out amazing at the end, cheers mate and congrats to the lucky winner!!!

I have this same model in my "someday" pile. I was rather unimpressed with the plastic bed. I was having a hard time figuring just how i would do it. You sir just made up my mind. That "flat black" looks just fine. especially paired with the "coffee staining" of the real wood!

Looks fantastic Phil,I'm glad that you managed to stick with it, it's turned out to be a stunning rig.

I've watched a few of your videos now and I totally dig your taste in music . I like how well rounded and random it is

Looks really good, well done for completing it with all the little problems 👍🏻

Beautiful Truck. Thanks for keeping it real with the struggle part.

That looks amazing the finished truck is so realistic the coffee sacks are a nice touch. Sadly I would never drive it I'd be to scared I would scratch it. 👍👍

The car looks great colorwise. I bought myself a ca10 when corona started to have myself a nice lockdown project. I wanted it to be an old rusty farmtruck. Decided to go on faded orange with rust on multiple places. Did that by cutting some "rusted through" holes and making some dents in the door and fenders and roof. Painting everything in a rust color. make it wet, sprinkle it with seasalt. let it dry. spray with orange and let it dry. take away all grains of salt to reveal a lot of rust stains and then dirt wash amd weather it all even more. Even bought 3d printable files to print files that hides the electro motor and makes it into a real looking old rusty petrol engine complete with air intake filter and sparkplug wires and battery etc. ald weathered into an old rusty heap of broken dreams. Added a micro led light in the cabin and also under the hood to be able to see all the hard work that I did under there. routed all cables in the C channel framing and fastened them with thin metal wire. Headlights and turning lights are wired with very thin wire since the led's use ample power. glued those wires underneath the cabin and in wheel arches and all also covered them with paint. All electronics are hidden. Mostly under the seat in the cabin. and the speed controller sit's inside the gastank. On / off button is also hidden inside the seat and via a small hole I made underneath you can switch it on and off when you reach underneath the cabin with a finger. So with all doors open and the hood open you will not be able to see any cable or switch. Also the complete chassis and axle housings, inside of the cabin etc. are weathered. There are men sitting in the cabin ( walking death figures) and a dog in between. even a pack of lucky strike sigarettes on the dash. I am very pleased with the result. The only remaining thing to do is to make a more permanent load to keep in the back that will hide my battery bit also allows me to take it out more easy to charge it. The used esc is a type that can be set to a higher frequency to eliminate the irritating motor whining noise that irritates the crap out of me when driving very slowly. Back then I decided to buy this ca10 instead of the ca30 because ot was much cheaper and more ment as a shelf queen since I have dedicated crawlers that do a much better job offroading compared to this 6x6. Now I regret this choice a bit. both models went up in price a lot and I think the high bed looks better with the double rear wheels. But again. Love the colors on your ca30.

Absolutely incredible looking build dude! Beautifully detailed and painstaking for sure. I know the stress and feeling so well projects that are a bit off at every turn. Keep up the good work brother!

It's a cool looking old truck. It looks amazing.

Nicely done. Looks great.

I really enjoyed building mine and had hardly any problems with it

The paint job is amazing

For a coffee truck the colors are spot on. Job well done. Like button energized algorithms brewing.

I have the same 'wooden' bed except it'll be very heavily modified! First off, that plastic bed bottom is gone....and I'll be replacing it with real Basswood strips to replicate a real wooden bed. Next, the box sides will be cut down to half it's height and the reason for this is because this box will be installed into my SCX10-II all metal and portal axle'd 'UNIMOG' and the paint job is going to be completely heavily weathered with all metal parts with rust effects in an old aged orangey-yellow.....IT'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL

it turned out very smart well done on it

You know this is actually a really good idea using the supporters money to make something only those people can win makes it pretty fair for all sides who join That makes it even better the rest is for charity you found yourself a goldmine for content

Fantastic build and oh what a waste of coffee 🤣 good luck to the winner 👍

Very Very impressive build,well done sir.

Getting mad SpinTires vibes from that truck. Guess I need to buy a coffee or two!

The truck looks awesome 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

Great job. You should be proud of this. Well done.

absolutely beautiful 😍 I always look into projects like this but I am reluctant when I see how much goes into it haha

I've used that same Vauxhall red on a truck build.

Well done for keep plugging away at it! The finished product looks great!

Absolutely coffeetastic

It looks great! Really detailed. This truck is one of the best iv seen if not the best.

tough builds like this are quite frustrating, making certain brands unbuildable in the future because of this. love the scale coffee bags in the bed!

This is brilliant Phil! And, no double entendre intended, but we were all looking forward to watching you mess about with your wood. . Dammit!Your wood looks good! (that's what she said)

Looks good in those colours.

I've used coffee to stain floorboards I have replaced in Victorian properties, works well 👍Looks excellent with all the details you added.

I watched this last night & wanted to comment that I can so resonate with having to finish a build but not wanting to have any more to do with the stupid thing. Some just end up like that but sometimes you glimpse one that you felt that way about when you built it but turned out surprisingly well. I wish I could qualify for the draw, Phil. You're becoming an amazing builder and I'd be proud to take that rig to our local crawler space. I especially like the shiny metal on the cargo box - they look DAMN good!

Well done sir you’ve bridged the gap between my two favorite things coffee and RC ☕️🛻😆

Great looking truck. The winner is going to be so happy with it.

That’s Sick!!!!!

Beautiful ! 👍

I'm guessing that bed took days!!! Good work as always sir!!

That's awesome.

I've used coffee to dye things but never thought about using it for wood. You got a nice oak looking stain out of that. Pretty awesome. 👍

Congratulations on finishing the build! All the best

I can definitely relate. 👍I still have a half finished Orlandoo Miltary truck still needing to complete. One day I will either finished it or sell it on eBay 😂😂. Great job on your model 👍👏

Looks great and tastes great too!

It looks really really nice! I think it's suitable for people that looking for difficult built and that can last for long time. Some people do enjoying the build process little by little.

excellent job beautiful build

I love seeing all these contests and give always,,..to bad I’ve never seen how to enter any of them.

I had forgotten about this build. Turned out really well despite the problems you had with the build.

Turned out really nice!

It looks awesome Phil! All the little challenges that pop up when building can be tedious but I like figuring out that stuff. The color suits the body style and wood color perfectly. I’m sure you’re glad that’s finally off the bench. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What an awesome looking truck! Perfect colour choice, lovely wood stain. That sticker looks superb, too. Great job and happy holidays!

Well I've got to say I enjoy a good solid cup of joe. At this time I had a cup of tea, enjoyed your vid. I've had a few builds that made me grow greyer by the minute. In the end, the build look great, someone will be blessed by it and 2023 is less then 2 hrs away. Thx for sharing, Happy New Year to all. 👍 😊

Super cool build

Your truck turned out very nice! Great work and I wish you a happy new year in 2023

Love it, I enjoyed it even if you didn't 😉 great build, really like the style.

Natural dye takes many applications to get a desired effect, when it's not concentrated. I think it looks nice.

nice build, looks like greengrasses truck from heartbeat😂 (only oldies will know 😕)

Awesome looking build to watch whilst I have my coffee & relax after work 👍

Awesome build. I find that all the RC projects save for regular kits are filled with issues to be sorted. Cheers!

Thanks!

What a laborious build, but you certainly made a silk purse from the crud you had to start with! A great cause and you should be proud of what you achieved. Looks fabulous :)

Great looking truck! Really do like it.

For plastic scale painting I recommend using the Tamiya TS paint it require no primer and looks very good

I really love these limey boogers I really do. I mean these guys take imagination to the limits. I had a England born history teacher and aside of me having such a crush on her she just literally intrigued the hell out of me with her stories as a child during the great war and of England...

Turned out really nice Mr. Tomley! Keep up the good work sir!

What a good job remember keep smiling it’s only a hobby not a job 😊

I thought you were getting coffee ready to drink as you sit down & dig in. 😂. That RC came out amazing. I love how the hood opens old school style FMS take note.

That body color is sweet.

You did amazing, it looks really great. Your effort and documentation is very appreciated ;-) Thanks

That truck looks great! It sucks when a build isn’t fun, I have projects that are sitting in bins cuz I get stressed whenever I think about finishing them! Hahaha!

Really nice build,great work.

Nice one Phil, looks really nice. Weathered the hell out of mine and seeing mint ones like this makes me want another. The build, yes, has a few issues but the end result justifies the struggle i reckon. I'd suggest whoever wins this beauty strengthens the fuel tank brackets - a mate made me some from aluminium - as they snap pretty quick. A

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas 💯💯💯 That bed looks awesome !! That is one Good Looking 6x6 !!

That came out sweet. Serious trophy. Thanks for the entertainment. Hope you and yours are warm and happy. Be well and have fun 😊

Came out brilliant, see hard work pays off . So close to getting my own crawler , but can't decide what to get . Keep up the great work Phil .

Used to have the 4X4 mud truck and it was a very hard truck to build as well. But I love a challenge.

Came out beautiful, regardless the stress you went through 🤔. I really like it 👍

What an absolutely beautiful truck , it looks awesome 👏🏻 well done mate 👍🏻

Nice to see it finished, so much detail, sorry it was a pain to build. So what next a "Coffee Café Racer" RC motorbike build ?

Looks amazing!!! thx for making that Video🥰

If you're going to do any amount of painting, you should make yourself up a little paint booth. Get yourself an exhaust fan, inline ones work or a small box fan and a furnace filter if you can't vent outside. If you have a bathroom in that unit you can hook in flexible duct to that. If you can't, the box fan with a furnace filter in front does amazingly well. Get one of your amazon boxes (bigger) put the furnace filter and box fan in the back or bottom is better. When the overspray is still wet and in the air, it'll stick to the furnace filter. If you want to do something nicey nice, go to your local appliance store and see if they have a fridge or stove box. Snag the cardboard from that, it's usually quite thick and strong. My neighbour 2 doors down is a snap on dealer and he gave me a box they ship their tool boxes in. It's double walled and heavy duty and it's bloody stiffer than plywood.

I sent enough for a cheap cup “O” Joe. Great scale build. I hope you do another model in the future. Merry Christmas

Looks awesome mate. Well done for sticking at it 👍🏻

This makes me want to build an rc from scratch

Awesome video and awesome build, Phil! Everything looks perfect despite all the challenges you'd faced with it! I love the door logo too! 👏👏👏

What a cool build! I love the color and stain you used too. As in all hobbies there are models that are not that fun to build. I am building a Dumas 1949 ChrisCraft runabout wooden boat. That is also a pain in the ass to work on. I have started it, then put it away for months, gotten back out and built more steps to it, then packed it away again. I bought it back in 2016. Im planning on finishing it by the summer of 2023. LOL. I know right?

congrats to the winner! yes, the build might have been a P.I.T.A. (short for pain in the ass), but it turned out very nice! cheers Phil and take care this holiday season with your family. see you in the next one!

Great job. Looks awesome. 😮

nice one, and I just happen to have a Betty Crocker espresso machine. it looks great and it'd be so easy to hide the motor with a mock V8 over. my guess by looking, its near an actual 1/14 scale, I like it!

That's a good looking truck. Great job Phil and thanks for sharing. John

LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!

Keep it !! You did a amazing job on this project! I’ll ever see it again 😢 Happy new year
