    I've received a few comments asking about Gaslands scale cars.
    Well I'm happy to say Crafsman actually made a video about that a while back! :D

    This video just oozes production value. All of the little editing tricks and jokes along with the snazzy music are the cherry on top of an already informative video of a cool build. I cannot imagine how much time it took to make this video but the effort does not go unnoticed. All I can say is that this video is a thumbs up from me.

      He even worked on the captions! Machine translation wouldn't do all those words in caps.

      Absolutely. I am going through my favorite creators looking for ways to up my game, and this is a master class. More notes in the first 30 seconds than others' entire videos. Every shot is interesting, multiple shots where most would use one, cool transitions - I still can't figure out how he did the vinyl black primer one - sound effects and music everywhere, lighting effects everywhere, even the shop is a set piece in addition to a workspace. If you don't turn out the lights, get a bowl of popcorn and WATCH, you miss so much. I completely missed the action figure holding down the part he was gluing and the front bumper still having "Advil" on it (I assume for all the headaches it will dole out) the first time I watched. And all that is before you even get to the crafting. The standard right here.

      I sincerely appreciate that, Bill. And you can probably tell how much artists like you and Boylei influence me. We share a fondness for rivets, but you guys had a major influence well beyond that. (All the way down to trying to make better thumbnails.) Thanks again!

Feel free to holler at me if you ever need to talk! (thecrafsman @ gmail.com) I spaced it out for bots and that... but they'll probably be like "Psh, I see what you did, Crafsman. I got your email now!" LOL!

      Hahaha yeah, I've had this before, using some Final Faction pieces and other little buts I made a really cool robot head I was super proud of, but it was too small for the body. I haven't finished it yet because I haven't been able to make another head I'm happy with or a smaller body that fits with it. xD

    This was exactly what both my daughter and I needed this morning. The project was creative and fun. The production was impeccable. The music hit our moods exactly. It’s been sort of rough lately and we’ve both been struggling with our projects as well… I keep encouraging her regardless of any block I’m experiencing, but this gave me the push to keep working on my art… and I know watching this with my daughter before the bus came this morning gave her everything she needs to have a great day. I can’t wait for her to come home and share all the new ideas this helped spark. Thank you, Crafsman… I needed this one.

    I got to say you are an excellent teacher. Everything you do is conducive to learning and in a way that is solid. If you make a cut that’s a little nasty, you go ahead and fix it like that’s how you do. Cause that IS how you do. And if some kid watches that, they will understand immediately that that…is how you do. Easy forward is steady.

      I can truly appreciate the exceptional amount of work that goes into making these videos. Its the attention to detail that makes me smile almost as much as the little bits of humor here and there. But, for some reason, nothing makes me smile more than when CrafsMan is showing something on the table and then just grabs it all and pulls it off quickly before cutting. I don’t know what it is, but I can so relate to this movement.. hahahhaa.

    A couple of notes with the accelerators you used: the spray accelerator gives a more brittle bond than standard CA glue. On the other hand, baking soda gives a significantly stronger bond than standard CA glue.

    I found out about your videos right when my school shut down because of the virus and I've been watching them since. A lot in my life has happened since then and your videos have carried me through some tough and not-so-tough stuff. Your videos are always so calming and so cool and creative and everything in between all at the same time. I've showed my parents and my sisters your videos and they all love them. You've got a great charm and you're super creative. I can tell you put a lot of effort in this videos so just thanks for always making them. :)

    BRAVO Crafsman! I totally understand how the process of adding a detail after another can get very addictive. God if I like those offensive spikes in the front!
    Personally I tend to modify heavily the scrap bits I use...And it was fascinating to see how you, instead, found bits and pieces that fit greatly into the overall context making relatively little adjustments here and there. That is a great "kitbash eye" you've got there I think. BRAVO Crafsman!
