M*A*S*H Style Ambulance Build - Hot Wheels Parts

[@The_VMAN]

Thanks so much for this! I turned 5 in 1970. M*A*S*H is a childhood staple of mine. the reruns still crack me up. M*A*S*H will never go stale. 👍👍

[@DiecastResurrection]

I haven't done a real build like this in some time now. Hopefully you guys enjoy, I'll be posting more frequently now, I was going through some things over the part few weeks. You can hear my throat progressively getting better during this video over the course of a week lol. I'm thinking about bringing back some adventures with jimmy films as well, comment below if you'd like to see some.

[@janderakaleroydavis]

Being 58, I totally understand what you're saying. Definitely takes longer to heal up. Keep yourself healthy, body and mind. This build is very awesome, looks amazing!!! Take care of yourself.

[@douglasray3272]

Curious why you didn't print a red cross only decal to drop on the white squares.

[@fernandogalindo8512]

Looks good 👍 😁

[@neilcummings9939]

Hawkeye would approve very cool

[@pioneeradx]

Crosses look crocked like they would have been done back in the day. Makes it look even more authentic. Great work !

[@wallacegrooms7791]

Scratch builds are incredible. Also, bring back the stop action Jimmy series!

[@skylx0812]

Zee Toys put out diecast vehicles from the show in the 70s. I found some in a small grocery store in the early 80s for less than a dollar, I remember I never had more than loose change back then. I bought the iconic rescue chopper and nice looking period accurate 50s ambulance van. I wanted the truck like you built, but the store didn't have any, those toys hung on the toy rack for some time. Nice memories of stopping by that little store on my way home from school. Wish I kept the toys.

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Build turned out great. Mash was a fun serie to watch when i came home from school ås å kid,it was only reruns,since i was born in 79. But back then it was fun.

[@jeffcroweii4095]

I grew up on M.A.S.H. Still love it. Awesome job.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Nice M.A.S.H. up. You rescued this project with some ingenious surgery in styrene. You soldiered through. Thanks for another clever build.

[@SumCanadianGuy]

Love watching full on builds like this

[@jameslohr4943]

You’re one of my absolute favorite channels on KZbin. Take care of yourself, my friend, your health is everything!

[@i4ni2th4a2th13]

Love it !! I have always loved the flat fender power wagon look Awesome job!! And on the health . I so can relate after my 40 b day I had my check up. Dr said : your hearts shot, you need to stop drinking, you need to exercise and here is 1/2 a dozen meds you now need to take, your back is never gunna not hurt again and this is just your life from now on... Welcome to my 40's... We need to make the best of what we have for as long as we have it. I feel ya brother 💪

[@alkinkade]

AbAlutely Awesome I'm a M.A.S.H. fan...... Ooopsy ! Ya, I'm Old..... Thnx for Sharing..... God Bless America

[@cvr4FT]

It turned out so good Austin! Also, whatever it takes, look after yourself. We'll be here when you get back, you're the best. I'm 56 next month but luckily have a pretty active job but due to all the Covid lock-downs (which I have atm), the work stopped but my beer intake didn't. Ha. AND Ha ha ha I also (when the wife is around) do the old "ACHOO!!!" when I crack a beer... made me lol. Thanks for your time and entertainment.

[@brandzai]

Love those styrene scratchbuild projects!

[@OldManTheseDays]

Tip on filling in gaps with CA glue- sprinkle a little baking soda in there. It dries it almost instantly and fills it at the same time.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

M.A.S.H. is a REALLY good show-especially once you get a few seasons in. it's very much worth getting into. I love how this came out. I've always loved old military vehicles. Especially ambulances. My aunt was a nurse during the Vietnam war and we always used to watch the show together.

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

Henry made me me cry. So did Hawkeye's chicken. MASH did comedy well, but it did tragedy even better. Edit: I wonder what people today would think of Klinger's idea of crazy.

[@skylx0812]

Whenever it came to instructions, my family picked up on the _"But first, disconnect the..."_ line from the episode where Hawkeye and Trap had to disarm an unexploded bomb in the compound. My brothers used to say that a lot when working on our truck.

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

It glorifies war that's why I quit watching it 40 years ago.

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

@@PerspectiveEngineer Glorifies war? You've obviously never seen much of it. It's literally the opposite of that. If MASH had one consistent theme, it's that war is hell. You could say the made light of it, because of the humor. But, that would be wrong as well. The humor was used as a defense mechanism. A way to get through Hell with your sanity intact. It was brilliant. You clearly have the wrong idea about it.

[@neilreddick3062]

Hey Austin! Glad to hear you are taking some time for yourself and getting healthy! Great build too. Be well!

[@TeamGambleBMX]

Yay, a metric steel rule. +1 for Canada 💪

[@dezrttortis3697]

Take care of yourself Guy, I look foward to these videos everyweek or so. I still drop back to some of the first videos and rewatch the Full Processs with Plating and tear downs.

[@jamessturrock6802]

"Finest Kind!" quote Hawkeye M*A*S*H 4077 I actually served in Korea near the location of one of the original M*A*S*H sites that the book was based on. Great Build sir!

[@davidparker8221]

Continue with your good health regimen! Thanks for making me feel old for watching the show during the first run🤣 I suggest the episode when Hawkeye gives up drinking. It's thought provoking!

[@bigsid3011]

Great craftsmanship. Some innovative and unique solutions to creating the look you wanted. I can imagine Radar driving that.

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Radar knew about this build,before it was ewen started...haha🇳🇴

[@geoffersongeofferies477]

Nice work! I can’t believe how much putty you used! So much sanding....well worth the effort.

[@valborchardt3596]

Thanks dude once again from South africa…..great build. Take care

[@rc67die-castcollector]

Great build!! Have to watch M.A.S.H. It’s a classic. Sorry to hear about your health. Love watching your videos. They are very inspirational!

[@brianartillery]

The styrene strip broke because CA glue gets very hot as it cures - it's an exothermic reaction that gets even hotter if you use accelerator. I've used CA to seal up cuts, and it gets damn hot. You should try 'Plastic Weld'. I only use that, and Tamiya Extra Thin plastic cement. Lovely build. That Power Wagon is a thing of beauty. Nice one.

[@subhumann]

damn that turned out great! if you're still feeling poorly, I recommend soup....chicken soup cures everything. I like soup

[@TeamGambleBMX]

Great work investing in your health; it will definitely pay dividends. All the best for that ongoing project!! Also we'll worth watching all the M.A.S.H TV series. Humorous and at times harrowing portrayal of war. It was a TV staple here in NZ during the 70s

[@DavidAllen-i5g]

Great kit bash-scratch build ,M*A*S*H Ambulance, one of my favorite shows and now one of my favorite custom builds.I really enjoy your u tube channel!!!! Stay well and keep up the great work,I try not to miss any of your resurrections.David in Texas USA

[@mortenhenningsen940]

When the clearcoat turns blue,you stop.... I remember from previus video,but it shows good on this model. Exersizing is important,i try to do it 3-4 times å week,and i work as å mason/tiler. Get yourself a bike/rowing machine/threadmill and blast through 30min ewery mornig. My step goal is between 10 and 12 thousand å day. 30 min runing gives about 3000. Also bodyweight training is good to,do pushups,star jumps,sqats,running at the same spot with high knelifts, you get your heart pumping and get in better shape. Good luck,hope it helps and looking forward to future videos

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Great build , the roof and finish is awesome. Stay well , if you can , drink a lot of hot green tea . Be safe . The finish is awesome 😎. Mike .

[@bjscustoms]

Definitely an amazing custom brother. Definitely looks like a mash truck. I loved watching Mash with my Grandfather

[@scrappycoco7843]

Came out great, only change I would make is color matched wheels

[@shawnbyers9862]

Glad to hear you are feeling better. I like this one a lot, I was a Medic in the Army. If you can, maybe turn a HMMWV into an ambulance. Just a suggestion. My grandson and I will be waiting for the next one. Peace.

[@Kitsunekun2]

♫Through Early Morning Fog I see, Visions of the things to be♫

[@jimmypetrock]

Austin, instead of buying plastruct or other liquid cement, buy a can of MEK at the hardware store. Works very well for styrene.

[@garagedweller7159]

Turned out great. Would be cool if you did some more of these type of builds,even cooler if we had some more adventures with Jimmy. Thanks for the content.

[@MF-rn5os]

Congrats on quitting smoking and getting healthy. Keep up the great work.

[@therevdr128]

It turned out great! Wheels a bit flashy but you know that.

[@SargeWolf010]

You have my Attention Sir!

[@SargeWolf010]

More M*A*S*H Vehicle builds plz Sir! 😅

[@lonniekropf808]

Good work. I would like to see more body mods in the future. Make a stretch limo from something unusual, chop top, or something similar.

[@jeffhreid]

Super sick build! Came out awesome. Very creative

[@gunlakepaddlesports]

turned out really good, crazy amount of work, fun has no boundaries.

[@karlkovach8647]

Austin, congrats on the smoking, drinking cessation!! I did the same thing after a bout of pneumonia early in February. Overall I have been feeling much better with the exception that I eat everything in sight. It's tough but, you'll get through it. GREAT build by the way. Stay well my friend.

[@doubleedgedfist1535]

Awesome build!!! M.A.S.H was an epic show!!! Some pure comedy genius. Anyway, love your channel, but your health is #1.

[@tomtaylor2212]

Only watched M.A.S.H. cause of my dad, that and Dragnet lol. Feel like we are right around the same age the way you talk about the stuff you watched as a kid. Awesome job as always!

[@visualartsbyjr2464]

Although there’s a ton of extra work into projects like these, I love seeing them.

[@DBs58]

That is a fantastic job!! Always enjoy watching to see what you build!! Keep up the great job!!

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

Yay! New video! I was just chillin out over at wtffor's channel, hangin' out, waiting for a video to drop.

[@DiecastResurrection]

Man I bet that guy has so many Fixer Uppers he could send my way! I go over there to learn heheh

[@GleaMDMK]

Health is very important! I hope you can stick to whatever you are doing to improve yourself and keep it up! Much love, brother.

[@jimlowe6386]

Very Good build!! I Enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@fatboyshadetree5139]

would love to see a "what i use and why and how it works" style video with all the products you use. explain the sealer, reducer, glue types, urethane paint vs acrylic vs createx paints you use. especially since you use new products now from the start of the channel plus the cleaning of your airbrush between colors and coats.

[@karlkovach8647]

That's a great idea.

[@joeholloway1386]

nice build, details and paint job 👍👍

[@moonbear5929]

You have to ventilate your house, esp your work space where you use all those chemicals and paint. Also, you have to spend more time outside in the sun. This is why you're getting sick, not enough sun and fresh air. Eating better helps too, fresh veggies and fruits. Congratulations on quitting smoking and consuming less alcohol. Good ambulance! I like how the front bumper doesn't look perfect, it's seen some of it's own trauma.

[@tonyneises5195]

Dang that was a ton of work. Turned out Great!!!!

[@Microman504]

Really interesting custom, liked the way you made the roof! Take care of yourself! Making sick paintjobs is cool but staying alive is cooler 😎

[@tgmotoman1]

Looks great, very creative.

[@Jonathan-nn8fe]

I'm not usually into trucks or ambulances, but this build was satisfying to watch! Take care man!

[@Gordo101978]

That came out awesome, I would got back and match paint the wheels though. And about your health, take it from me, make time for yourself and take care of it, I didn't and I went through a really hard time, now I have a tracheostomy and can barely walk so please take care of your health and keep giving us awesome videos

[@jmminms]

awesome build, just needed the old U.S.Army stencil on each side of the hood... and the vehicle number on the back door.. :)

[@stevenwithanS]

Good one.

[@mitchellambrose2293]

Looks good! Thanks for all you do!

[@paulliddiard141]

Very nicely done!

[@1991pony]

Craft stores have the "eyes" for stuffed animals, you know, the clear ones with a black disc that rattles around inside.They come in a bunch of sizes. I cut those up to make fender flares for model cars of various scales.

[@kevinjohnson4299]

Came out fantastic!🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesh5460]

Well cool! Way to mix things up a bit and super nice job as always.

[@RustyTriumphs]

Really Nice custom, Looks Very good👍👍

[@richardunicorn7879]

Corgi has a casting that is very similar to this, but it was very cool to see you actually make the truck. The hard work and craftsmanship are very impressive, especially at this scale. Great job as always!

[@gregabreu7346]

That turned out bad ass. Great job

[@NitrousDiecast]

Absolutely amazing

[@brucesanford1294]

Really love all your builds. Keep up the good work

[@DJNIAPO]

Thanks for doing what you do! Im in a different hobby, but watching your build videos inspires me to do the same! Keep it up!!!

[@josephcorriveau9113]

Hello great job on that Mash Truck looks real good 😁👍🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@Zepphd2]

That was a bad ass build!! Thanks man!!!

[@terripipher1300]

M*A*S*H I watched it all the time and the ambulance had the red cross on the back doors with white.. I like this one and like how you put your own flare to it

[@corykelly2163]

Beauty.

[@rdcustomdiecast]

Fantastic job

[@Saul8]

More from retro tv shows!!!!

[@squirrelkilla7371]

I too have been dealing with health issues. In March was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Then on the night of memorial day I had a heart attack. Not even 50 yet. I've lost over 20 lbs since March and all my numbers look great. So yeah, it can catch up to you quick.

[@jrsdiecastcars1978]

Outstanding work as always thanks for sharing

[@davidneilson3508]

Cool build , yeah kind of miss ole Jimmy lol 😝

[@dargonblackhart]

[@mikaelnaslund2964]

But i am not too young for that show 😉 And i must say very good sir, SPOT ON on this ambulance as i remember it😃And this is why i subscribe! You put a twist on most of your projects and they always turn out rather excellent!!!! Your videos has inspired me alot!! So tomorrow i am going to purchase a noob airbrush and compressor. Cars, i have bought about 100 in various condition. Thank you for your efforts and inspiration!!! I hope and wish your health be better forwards!!! Best regards from Sweden!!!!

[@johnnyz999]

Hello it looks great

[@theboardcrafter1336]

I really enjoy what you do and I'm going through what you're going through on the weight gain. All you need is VR goggles and an exercise bike snd congratulations on stop smoking.

[@markmoats5702]

I really like the longer video man and the truck turned out real good

[@EPTJ01]

Very Nice excelente work

[@nathancook1404]

Nice Custom work! I've gotten a JohnnyLightning Version of the Korean War Ambulance last year and it was only the War Time Version and not the M.A.S.H. Version, and if their is a M.A.S.H. Version out there the only Diecast Companies that would make it would probably be JohnnyLightning or Greenlight.

[@user-ik5bm6nw9j]

AWESOME AISTIN

[@kipitreal9355]

Finally! I been waiting for a video all week 😬😬😬

[@DiecastEmporium]

Fantastic job on this build! Truly enjoyed this video. I am stuck at home battling covid-19 and video brought a lot of enjoyment to me

[@dragonslayer19695]

Looks good, but me personally would have painted the wheels green too. But thats just me.
