My uncle had a real one, I remember being 5 or 6 years old, and we actually stood it up on the rear doors, climbing side of a mountain. No seat belts, ah fond memories from almost 40yrs ago. Lol.
I'd paint the blue one with a slightly darker shade of the same blue, and let the original colour bleed through a bit on the sky-facing surfaces for a bit of a "sunbleached" effect. Loving the Harbody Crawler Co.'s efforts on packaging! Really shows the quality and attention to detail when one considers the packaging, whether it's the blister packs, boxes, or even catchy title graphics with theme music that gets stuck in your head all day when anybody even says the word "weekly"...
Hahaha! Totally! 😄 My favourite part is the enthusiastic upper limbs choreography though. I could watch that all day! 😁 I find myself thinking of opportunities to do it myself but, sadly, they don't come up. 😥😋 Jokes aside, I'm loving this series! You can always find something different in each episode. 🙏👏
Awesome video, as always! If I'm lucky enough to win that awesome FJ40 body, I'd paint it Heath Gray with two coats of varying rust colors underneath. Then I'd let the magic begin with all the rock scars and trail rash! Wish me luck please! Good luck everyone!
That The Hard body Crawler co. Is pretty cool. I think I would pick one of the colors from '73 so it would be the same age as me. So either Heath Gray or Royal Blue. Thanks for the great content. Its nice seeing you every Thursday morning.
Ha, I owned a real landcruser , same model, when I lived in New Zealand, loved it, and this brought back some cool memories of 4 weel driving around Lake Sumner on the south Island, epic fun... thanks for sharing Matt, great video as always. John
I would love to win this to turn my scx24 into something that looks a little cooler. I would probably paint mine brown to match the room that it is displayed in. I don't enjoy driving or working on the small scale stuff all that much, so let's make it a look a little nicer on that shelf. Thanks for all you do Matt!
Love the look of the fj body, I think I'd go with the darker almost Forrest green Toyota color as I rode around in one that color when I was a kid and would build it to look like that truck from my childhood
I would have to go with the mustard yellow with white top. My friend had one. I remember bouncing around in the back while off roading. Those back seats that faced each other where not comfortable
Fantastic! Those Land Cruiser bodies are very cool and frankly has been the only reason to give me interest in a 1/24 RC. Oh yeah, hearing aide beige is my go to color choice for a vintage rig like this. Keep up the great content!
Great looking Green FJ! Just getting into the smaller scale with my 5 year old! We both watch “What’s on the bench” together! I’d go orange. Bright and rusty! Three way Monthly Mayhem with danny huynh creations would be awesome!! Great show!
I bought a new FJ40 in 1978. Mine was tan, seems it was a little darker than the kit, great color, really didn't show dirt! I think I would paint mine red, it was a very nice looking red by Toyota.
I plan on getting a hard body crawler for my mom’s fiancé. He had an FJ for his first vehicle and he loves the scx24’s and the deadbolt I got him. Seems only fitting! Thanks for showing it off, it looks great!
I have enjoyed every episode of what's on the bench and thank you for all the content. Last night's live stream takeover was hilarious and you and Josh had me laughing while I drove across Iowa.
Pueblo brown! I love the earth tone colors on older vehicles. Recently got back into rc's and your channel has been a staple in my review process of new parts and kits to get me back into it, thank you for the videos, extremely entertaining and fun to watch and informative! And a little goofy, love the balance!
Definitely a white and light blue combo... maybe I decide to do it in a old washed out yellow like a friends truck he owned in real life... love your content 💯
10:40 Nice to see Axial getting back to roots with this Kit. If I had not already been in the middle of a Comp Rail build this might have pulled me back to another Axial purchase. It's quit possible I will be picking one up in the future when I am looking for another comp rig. Would like to see more on the Furitek Esc in future videos Programming features 💙BT💙
I'd have to paint it storm gray, I have blue crawlers and green crawlers and I need a different color to mix it up. I'm interested to try weathering on my next build it looks awesome!
I would use a pale orange from the 70's, juste because that's my favorite. Thanks for your what's on the bench serie, it's always a source of New purchase or ideas for paint evenings ;-)
I've seen that body a few times now and looks pretty solid. I'd paint one in a darker, more forest green and weathered as well. However I just ordered the hardbody Bronco to replace my old scx24 c10 body so don't pick me please. I don't have room for more bodies.
Id like to see the tan rust treated like that with the white top drip rails and center rysted too like sun faded rust and rust on front white. Grille! But yours looks awesome too! Love ur whats on the bench!
@@scalebuildersguild i hope to get my first rc at 52 yrs old here soon, on fixed soc sec disability income its hard to save up. But i want to build the trx builder kit so its gonna cost a bit. I would like to do the lowering of the f250 hitrail like u did ! I had a blue one that looked just like urs just a tad higher in the 80s, then a couple others later on. I miss em! But looked just like ur blue one u lowered! Love it. Wish i could afford one of each lol but iv always wanted a real rc and i have time now just not enuff green! But i watch ur channel all the time when i cant sleep and i think im all caught up. Keep goin love it and i can dream lol
Really cool series to be honest, I’d paint mine orange or yellow with a white top. It looks really good, they done a really good job on that body. Keep up the good work.
I would paint it either red or spring green-like light green. The green is very fresh-looking, but red just goes well with anything (snow, leaves). Tough choice!
I really like that navy blue they have! But if I were to do a different color, I’d try a light gray, maybe try the rusting technique as well. I’m excited to see the Skeeride in action!
Great episode. Those little fj's are really cool. I think I'd paint mine a light blue. Yeah... light blue. I cant wait to donthe scxpro. I have been tempted many times to try the trenchers.... but I never pull the trigger on them. Will also be interesting to see the lizard system in a comp environment. The skiride (I hear the name.... then forget it haha) is going to be so cool.
I think I'd have to paint the hardbody lime green, the color that represents the form of cancer I had! Then do a nice patina look, the patina reminds me of what chemo did to my body! It still works but looks a little worn! Lol have a RAD day!
I fought my butt off to beat it, I'm one of the lucky ones! Survivors guilt is a real thing that I suffer from, I use it to motivate me to give back, share my story in hopes of inspiring ppl to never give up, I'm living proof it can be beaten. Was told I had 4 months to live when diagnosed, 13 years later I'm still here and now driving rc cars and using that to share my story!
Love these episodes of what's on the bench you done a awesome job on the land cruiser just the right amount of weathering, if I was to win I'd go with military green and turn it into a old used looking military truck 😁 good luck all
Great Content as usual dude! I love the land cruiser, its my dream rig... My dad has one in forest green when I was young. It was are official hunting rig. We used it for about 25 seasons, then my dad retired it and gave it to one of my brothers. Then my brother, with out letting anyone know, sold it... so if I got a hard body land cruiser I would do it forest green like my dad's rig.
@@scalebuildersguild As a matter of fact we almost got into a fighter at my Dad's funeral over it... and no, me and my other brothers pretty much disowned him.
Love what's on the bench!! I think I would paint it with a snow camo theme, with plenty of weathering!! Since we don't get much snow here haha! Keep up the great work!!
Love the rust contrast with that green! If I won that kit, I would paint a warbird theme, like a Japanese Zero inspired paint scheme, or maybe a spitfire… oh yes with a duck egg blue roof! Thanks for all your inspiration!
I always enjoy watching this series and thanks so much for all the great tips. I have had one of the hard bodies in my wish list for a while now might half to get it and paint it a nice Navy haze grey of course.
Very cool chipping method Matt! The truck turned out great! I personally would paint mine one of the original red colors like Solar Red or Tropical Coral. Cheers!
My friend had a full size version of this and it was a terracotta orange/red with white roof. It looked awesome and was in perfect condition. I very cool retro wagon. Thanks for the painting tips :)
Wow, this almost makes me want to buy an scx24! Love the weathering job too. I think I would try something I've been wanting to do for a while. A bare metal look paint job. Maybe with some airbrushed rivets?
I've been playing around with an idea of making an older truck with our local old road works administration livery (TVH). Basically all it is is really basic yellow with huge TVH-logo in red on the doors. This simple rusting effect would make it perfect, as well. A Land Cruiser would make a perfect period boss vehicle.
If I had a LandCruiser body I'd definitely have to do something similar to FabRat's FJ45. Super heavily worn down. I'd respray another colour, white or grey or something with a brown base coat and sand back in spots to reveal rust patches. Would definitely sand all the way back down to the blue on a panel or two to reveal the original colour in a worn sort of way.
That looks awesome Matt love the attention to detail you put in to all your builds your a real inspiration to make a RC look like a real truck I’ve got 11 scx24s and love the scale look keep up the good work
I’d be all about the Aqua Net. And I would paint mine light/baby blue. A kid I grew up with’s dad had one in that color. That’s what I always think of when I imagine that vehicle.
Id have to paint this hardbody the classic Pollox Orange color. I haven't seen many of them in the wild, would be neat to have my own! Thanks Matt for everything you produce for us to watch and enjoy!
Another amazing what's on the bench video Thanks Matt appreciate all the work you do to give us great content every week if I had an FJ 40 I would do the gulf livery theme light blue orange white black. I'm in the process of building SCX24 that I do not have a body for this FJ would look amazing thanks again Matt have a great day sir
The way I'm good at procrastinating and messing my use of time, I would probably shake a non existant can of transparent colour and give it 2 coats of clear, see-through paint. Would make an awesome shelf queen in the living room! 😁 Besides, that blue is awesome. I guess it deserves a deep metallic look though. 🙂 You did an awesome job on yours! 👏 Jokes aside, congratulations on the "What's on the bench" series. 👏👏 Varied topics, reviews, paint technics... Love it! It's also great to see such a great quality product out there. The market needs quality products from many companies, I think it benefits everyone.
Great video and review. These are always a good learning tool and seeing new options in the RC world. I would paint mine a lighter shade of blue, like a baby blue. I have a 2 year old boy and my wife loves that color. So then it would be a fun RC for her to drive around when we go on walks or save it for the little one to use.
I think if paint the Toyota black, just kinda my theme on rc vehicles, black/silver/ and hints of additional color. It’s a killer little body and definitely going to be interesting to see what else they release, especially with the attention to detail and quality in there molds. Super cool!
I've seen a lot of purple RCs, and they all look amazing. I would go with a sky blue color with light coatings of white around the wheel wells that resemble clouds. Thanks for all the videos, learn something every time.
A Orange body would look great with your chipping rusted method..was just checking out the Axial SCX24 Chevy K10 yesterday ..this alternate body would look..great in orange...would be my first 24th scale rc
I'd go with a light greyish blue. I wish someone would make bodies like this specifically for the SCX10 or VS4! I'm all about scale looks over performance.
Blue. Definitely blue and some sort of weathering. Looks fantastic Matt. Maybe with something this small I would be patient enough to do it. With most of my builds I seem to be in such a hurry to see them on the trails.
My uncle had a real one, I remember being 5 or 6 years old, and we actually stood it up on the rear doors, climbing side of a mountain. No seat belts, ah fond memories from almost 40yrs ago. Lol.
I'd paint the blue one with a slightly darker shade of the same blue, and let the original colour bleed through a bit on the sky-facing surfaces for a bit of a "sunbleached" effect.

Jokes aside, I'm loving this series! You can always find something different in each episode. 🙏👏
Love the mangled farbon cibor mold on top of the ripper!!😂 keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching!
Would love that Land Cruiser, I would paint mine a OD Green for military vibes. Great video as always!
That’s a nice looking hard body! I would paint it sky blue like the 75-83 era with weathered look!
Awesome video, as always! If I'm lucky enough to win that awesome FJ40 body, I'd paint it Heath Gray with two coats of varying rust colors underneath. Then I'd let the magic begin with all the rock scars and trail rash! Wish me luck please! Good luck everyone!
I think a nice weathered effect over that blue color would look great!
That The Hard body Crawler co. Is pretty cool. I think I would pick one of the colors from '73 so it would be the same age as me. So either Heath Gray or Royal Blue. Thanks for the great content. Its nice seeing you every Thursday morning.

Thanks for watching... sounds like you have some great memories from NZ!
I use hair spray to chip my scale tanks. Works great. I would paint that truck in a Desert Yellow. Put a little sun fade on it also.
I would paint it old school bus yellow! With lots of chipping and plenty of rust! Then mount it on the leaf spring chassis I'm designing currently!
I would love to win this to turn my scx24 into something that looks a little cooler. I would probably paint mine brown to match the room that it is displayed in. I don't enjoy driving or working on the small scale stuff all that much, so let's make it a look a little nicer on that shelf. Thanks for all you do Matt!

Great looking Green FJ! Just getting into the smaller scale with my 5 year old! We both watch “What’s on the bench” together! I’d go orange. Bright and rusty!
Three way Monthly Mayhem with danny huynh creations would be awesome!!

Great episode again. Mine would be a British racing green. Looks awesome. Very realistic rust effect.
Thanks!
Thanks for showing the technique for rusting 👍. More importantly thanks for finally leaving your collar button undone. 🤣🤣
Maybe I'll leave 2 buttons undone next time. 😂
Red. Weathered to look like a gold/brass body underneath. No rust, hidden treasure.
I think the color you picked for the land cruiser is absolutely perfect. Era correct and a great job of patina
Thank you!
Thank you for introducing me to this niche of the hobby.
My autism has never been happier.
Glad I could help!
Great job on the fj! I think I'd go with a sun bleached yellow with white top if I got one
Great series I always liked the light blue and white combo

Good idea!

The skiride (I hear the name.... then forget it haha) is going to be so cool.
My wife wants me to paint every vintage truck robin's egg blue... it's her favourite colour!
@Scale Builder's Guild that is a really good colour.
If I had one of those FJ's I think a pale blue, yellow, or green would suit it well! Love the way you weathered yours! Subtle, yet very effective!
A sparkly rich blue! I'm a sucker for blue.
Love this hard body, I would definitely paint it a sort of green gray that I saw on one at the Barrett Jackson auction this year
Love the Barrett Jackson!
The extra "if you don't like scale points" was a good chuckle. Looking forward to hearing more about the Fruited system in this, too. Nice work!
More to come!
Loving what’s on the bench weekly. It’s one video that I look forward to on Thursday.
Yay! Thank you!
Red. That is how I remember the Land Cruiser from my youth. Fond memories.
Love the 40 series! Rustic green 621 is what I would paint one to replicate a build a friend did
Yay..... I learnt something today 😂 hairspray rust effects..... I'll be all over that when I paint mine 😍in freeborn red🎨😂. Awesome video.
I think I'd have to paint the hardbody lime green, the color that represents the form of cancer I had! Then do a nice patina look, the patina reminds me of what chemo did to my body! It still works but looks a little worn! Lol have a RAD day!

@@scalebuildersguild shipping is gonna be a bit much I feel
Nice work on that hardbody, looks awesome.. I would probably paint one in a light-ish blue or dark grey maybe
I think I’d go with a sand/primer grey combo with some small rusting and some flat clear on the windows for that abandoned desert truck feel 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Love the rust contrast with that green! If I won that kit, I would paint a warbird theme, like a Japanese Zero inspired paint scheme, or maybe a spitfire… oh yes with a duck egg blue roof! Thanks for all your inspiration!
Thanks for watching!
I always enjoy watching this series and thanks so much for all the great tips. I have had one of the hard bodies in my wish list for a while now might half to get it and paint it a nice Navy haze grey of course.
Love the weekly vids! After seeing that green you painted I’d try to imitate and probably fail horribly lol. Thanks Matt.
Go for it!
I'd paint that FJ Pollux Orange! Always fun seeing what you're up to!
Very cool chipping method Matt! The truck turned out great! I personally would paint mine one of the original red colors like Solar Red or Tropical Coral. Cheers!
My friend had a full size version of this and it was a terracotta orange/red with white roof. It looked awesome and was in perfect condition. I very cool retro wagon. Thanks for the painting tips :)
Wow, this almost makes me want to buy an scx24! Love the weathering job too. I think I would try something I've been wanting to do for a while. A bare metal look paint job. Maybe with some airbrushed rivets?
That would be cool!
I've been playing around with an idea of making an older truck with our local old road works administration livery (TVH). Basically all it is is really basic yellow with huge TVH-logo in red on the doors. This simple rusting effect would make it perfect, as well. A Land Cruiser would make a perfect period boss vehicle.
My wife is obsessed with the blue body, if we don't win, I'm gonna have to order her one!
If I had a LandCruiser body I'd definitely have to do something similar to FabRat's FJ45. Super heavily worn down. I'd respray another colour, white or grey or something with a brown base coat and sand back in spots to reveal rust patches. Would definitely sand all the way back down to the blue on a panel or two to reveal the original colour in a worn sort of way.
That would be cool!
I would paint it purple and black to match my phoenix! These hard bodies are amazing! I love the wheels to match too!!!!
Dope outcome my good chap. Patina is the way the go. I would definitely go with a sea foam green color with patina 👌🏽
That hardbody is very cool! love the patina/ weathered look
Wow that body is so nice. I'd paint it yellow just like the old 80's land cruiser
That looks awesome Matt love the attention to detail you put in to all your builds your a real inspiration to make a RC look like a real truck I’ve got 11 scx24s and love the scale look keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
I’d be all about the Aqua Net. And I would paint mine light/baby blue. A kid I grew up with’s dad had one in that color. That’s what I always think of when I imagine that vehicle.
I’d probably get rid of the navy blue and try something off the wall. Love the what’s on the bench series 👍
Lavender and white. I think that would be a fun color for the cruiser.
Id have to paint this hardbody the classic Pollox Orange color. I haven't seen many of them in the wild, would be neat to have my own! Thanks Matt for everything you produce for us to watch and enjoy!
Thanks for watching!
Mustard color, one of my favorite for an FJ 40 !
Another amazing what's on the bench video Thanks Matt appreciate all the work you do to give us great content every week if I had an FJ 40 I would do the gulf livery theme light blue orange white black. I'm in the process of building SCX24 that I do not have a body for this FJ would look amazing thanks again Matt have a great day sir
Thanks for watching!
Great technique. For sure will try it on my next project. Thanks for the chance to have one.
I would go with white and weathered and used looking wheels! Nice tan/brown worn-out interior with some fishing pole holders on the front bumper
I would definitely paint it in Tomato Blue 😉 Very nice work by the way mate! Thanks for keeping us entertained!
No problem 👍
I’d just paint it a simple Blurple. I’d Absolutely use the chipping method as well. I’m in love with the matching wheels!
Great rust effect, I'd go for a light colour too, maybe a mustard yellow.
Flat black with extreme weathering!!!
Nice bench update. I’d paint it bright red. 😊
I disbelieve the illusion of a weathered body but a pristine roof. LOL! I otherwise love that little cruiser and what you've done with it.
Ha! Thanks very much!
The way I'm good at procrastinating and messing my use of time, I would probably shake a non existant can of transparent colour and give it 2 coats of clear, see-through paint. Would make an awesome shelf queen in the living room! 😁 Besides, that blue is awesome. I guess it deserves a deep metallic look though. 🙂 You did an awesome job on yours! 👏

I’d paint mine orange!! Reminds my of a scout II my dad had when I was a kid!
That's sweet. I'd probably paint it in the pastel yellow color
I would def paint mine a deep forest green. Love your weathering
I've seen a lot of purple RCs, and they all look amazing. I would go with a sky blue color with light coatings of white around the wheel wells that resemble clouds. Thanks for all the videos, learn something every time.
Thanks for watching!
My first vehicle was a red 1974 land cruiser so definitely red. I would try your chipping technique to bring back the memories.
A Orange body would look great with your chipping rusted method..was just checking out the Axial SCX24 Chevy K10 yesterday ..this alternate body would look..great in orange...would be my first 24th scale rc
I'd go with a light greyish blue. I wish someone would make bodies like this specifically for the SCX10 or VS4! I'm all about scale looks over performance.
Me too!
Blue. Definitely blue and some sort of weathering. Looks fantastic Matt. Maybe with something this small I would be patient enough to do it. With most of my builds I seem to be in such a hurry to see them on the trails.
Fair enough. Thanks for watching!
