Just a small sample of all the amazing stuff that’s happening on the forum. The social media format is good for certain things, but not for rc: being able to follow along with a build allows you to learn so much and really appreciate the soul that’s in these builds.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and I totally agree that the forum is perfect for being able to showcase your builds step by step and allows people to follow along and learn!

[@turksandjerps]

I tried to Dodge finishing my build but instead, I Rammed it into completion. Thank you for the feature!

[@scalebuildersguild]

We should really get you on a Livestream again Richard, so you can show these builds off.

[@turksandjerps]

@@scalebuildersguild Sounds great! I’ll tell my mom. She’s a big fan of yours.

[@slebdad]

Great looking truck!

[@PabloDeBiasi]

Thanks a lot for featuring my Range Rover Classic, it's a great honor!! -Pawel

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for building such a great RC! Great job and thanks for watching!

[@branchsnapper2228]

That teal dodge ram is stunning, and seeing it drive through that miniature landscape, just magical

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's a great truck. Thanks for watching!

[@karlienicole2617]

“Back in time 80’s movie” bravo good sir 👍🏽

It's Emmett "Doc" Brown anyway, not Scott. ;) Of course from the movie trilogy "Back to the future". :)

[@RadioReprised]

The last Toyota does exist.....we had one! The conversions were done by a company named Sparlingco. Ours was a factory blue and was great back in 82 when there weren't ''Extra Cab'' trucks from the factory. We also had a 80 4x4 pick up with a ''4Runner'' style conversion as well.

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

This video will certainly make my top 5 videos of top 5 favorites of 2021

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you so much! That means a lot. Thanks for watching!

[@Justin_Newman]

The camper Toyota was built for Alaskan pipeline workers as a truck they could sleep in I’ve seen one in person and it blew my mind so I did some research. They are very expensive to get your hands on and now a complete collectors item

[@charliegarrison9688]

As someone who ones an 85' dodge ram the accuracy of the interior and body lines are astounding good job!

[@rcsnapon2132]

This dodge is hands down so good same with your videos this is definitely one of my favorite videos of scale

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching!

Amazing builds, but that range rover! 😳😳😳😳

[@hamotec-hanulveen]

I love the yellow Duallie Toyota. It's a piece of art.

[@yeatotlas6723]

The long Toyota look so real that truck is insanely scale.

[@frankbob4043]

Love the last Toyota. The irony of that Hilux, there was a California conversion company back in the late 70's and 80's that built strecthed frame Toyota pickups for work crews. Elsewhere around the world, Toyota sold and still sells crew cab Hilux pickup trucks. We just never got them here in the states. Today you can see them popup on ebay every once in a blue moon. Always wanted to purchase one for myself. Bro, awesome vid!

[@RCPMK]

Awesome! The landcruisers were def my favourite. The last photos of the long Toyota on the trail looked so real I saw a couple of the builds were using felt for carpets, etc. I recently tried flock on some helicopter seats..what a difference and so easy

[@billyjennings1523]

Dodge is rad, but that scale backyard trail set-up is even more impressive personally speaking

[@scalebuildersguild]

Agreed!

[@gebiscrust284]

Absolutely amazing builds all around. It’s crazy how good the realism is on these trucks. Keep up the great work guys 👌

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching and I was truly impressed again this year by the quality of work!

Sorry, I know my “Back in Time 80’s Movie” characters, and Dr Scott and Marvin were very good friends from 1975.

What Amazing builds, all you guys are absolute artist at this hobby, hats off to each & every one of you!! I have to admit the last Toyota while the build was absolute perfection & wildy spectacular, it has to be one of the ugliest real world trucks ever designed lol...... Happy New Year Matt, Thanks for all your hard work year round keeping the Hobby running....

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching! Yep... it's not the prettiest truck, but that's why I like it!

Woah. Bout to use that window gasket idea. Brilliant. I love when I find a RC use for an odd or everyday item.

[@garymaddux2000]

Only made it to the first build, but as an owner of a 1985 Dodge Ramcharger with the roof cut off, that rig is just about as perfect as you can get! Holy crap! I wish I could afford to have him replicate my ramcharger as it is 😅

Constant inspiration on a modernised old school platform. Great work Matt on keeping a forum alive which gives the talented members somewhere to show off their master level skills. Pushes someone like myself to go for that next level build. (And its ok Matt, I’ll forgive you for not showcasing my build , ah well maybe next year🤣🤣)

The stretch toy dually is real cool. I drive a 3/4 scale 1 ton dually flatbed. I converted it from a Shasta Mini Motorhome. It has 30 inches if stretch In the frame I can see them using the same thing as a base for the prototype build. Hope your holidays went well, have fun.

Whoa, these builds are great, the realism is spot on. I’m on the forum and love following the builds of the experienced elders😀 to see how things are done - I’m only 2 custom builds in and a long way to go with internal detail. One day in the distant future I might achieve the top 5 list.

[@raulmarin6176]

These are awesome builds. The creativity and detail are next level!!! I’d be afraid to take the trucks out on the trail knowing how unique they are, but it just makes the rc adventure much more fun.
