Making SAILS for post apocalyptic cars | GASLANDS custom tabletop miniatures

Amazing, funny, smart. Thanks for sharing.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheOnlyMuzzinator]

I came for the builds, i will stay for 'awl' the 'rivetting' content.

[@BPCustomCreations]

This guy gets it 😎👍

[@fnorazril]

Love the slow build up of this vehicle. The grippy tires were a nice change up, gives it some character where usually you just see bog basic tires. Always a fan of rustification of any vehicle. Weathering is always my favorite part of any project. Makes things feel like they live in world and aren't just some addition thrown in. Stories can be read in each patch of rust or patched over hole.

[@BPCustomCreations]

I always add narrative elements but never go so far as to make the narrative 😂

[@julielafontaine7423]

Hooray for hands that actually look like they have done the work! Thank you for keeping it real. Great video content.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Haha of course! I wonder if my worplace appreciates when I show up with specks of stubborn paint on my hands and nails 😂

[@JaysDiecastCreations]

I'm watching in bits... with bits and alllllll your doing🤯 oh and its riveting 😂

[@BPCustomCreations]

🤣🤣

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Love that tip with the foil cutter. That's a great idea. So many great tips in this video. Love these videos. Awesome stuff.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! It helps to never throw anything away 😂

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Great build 👍

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks, Danny!

[@rallaa]

Using the cutter for kitchen wraps is smart. I never would have thought of it.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Nothing gets thrown out without a once over with the crafting eye 😂👍

[@rallaa]

@@BPCustomCreations I've saved some little bits here and there, but I'm a hesitant newbie in Gaslands making, so I can't really imagine how I'd use them. Would you consider doing a video showing bits you saved or found, and maybe how you think they could be used?

[@BPCustomCreations]

@@rallaa it's certainly a good idea for a video. I'll add it to the idea whiteboard! I would say it's a frame of mind. Just looks at every little chunk of metal or plastic with the mindset of "what would this shape/texture be at scale?"

[@TerrainbyAaron]

Great build. Love the weathering effects

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! The pastels are so easy to use and add so much

[@dougdbean1]

“Awl I’m gonna do…” LOL This is the content I am here for! Thanks again for another amazing and creative build.

[@BPCustomCreations]

I'm glad you're enjoying them 😁👍

[@AndyMecha]

Cracker build man." Putting a skewer in there will stop the piece flying away" no more crawling around under the desk for me. Cheers 😁👍

[@BPCustomCreations]

🤣 I got to the point where I would just cut another piece instead of trying to look for them! 😁

[@chriscurr4593]

Love those glowing eyes. Great giveaway too.

[@stefa_]

Gotta say, that metal shaving and glue combo looks like some shoddy welding work/bubbly rust, which suits the theme very well!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Yeah, those details make the painting and weathering steps so much easier and more fun!

[@GargoyleBard]

"Who has an open top car in the desert?" A question ignored since the dawn of post-apoc motor movies, indeed

[@BPCustomCreations]

🤣😂Too true!

[@basedViking]

Awesome work dude!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks, viking!

[@ghostfifth]

If you apply white glue mixed with water and coat the paper bag or even toilet paper you can get a good effect too. Also works well for rolled up tarps and stuff.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Good call 👍 I have less than 0 patience for drying time 😂

[@earlware4322]

Watered down white glue gives you the same effect on paper products as the CA glue, but with ZERO toxic fumes. As a bonus by using your heat gun (or a hair dryer) you have a little time to form the paper into whatever shape you need without glueing your fingers to the paper.

[@rodrigodanielflorencia9803]

Amazing build!! I know this channel will blow up in a few months plz keep doing that amazing job you're doing and don't be discouraged, we support your work, keep it coming!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you so much for the kind comments 😊 I'll keep the videos coming for sure 😁👍

[@JimSilva-SilvaDiecastCustoms]

Another thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining and informative video Ben! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks, Jim! The gears are always turning!

[@ahmadziq]

That was pretty good and creative mate, loved every bit of it, great job Ben, looking for more builds like this.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! I'll be making loads more so stick around 😁👍

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Another enjoyable and well spent 24 minutes in BP University! Ben, I think your imagination is one of your greatest assets. Having a big box of junk (or just not throwing anything out) helps too! 😂 I bought some pastel chalks at a Dollar Store this summer with the same idea in mind. I've been shaving them with a craft knife to get my own box of weathering powders. Got a lifetime supply and rainbow of colours for a fraction of the hobby brand stuff now. This, after a failed attempt at using makeup, which turned out to be a bit oily. Living and learning. I love how your Triumph sailing rig turned out. Each of your videos is a source of information and inspiration for this hobbyist. Have a great week. Greetings from Switzerland - Andrew 🍁👊👍

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks, Andrew! I always look forward to your comments 😀 I'm glad you were able to take that hobby restock trip! I feel like I'm so spoiled with the dollar stores we have here in Japan! (¥100 shops technically) you can find anything there and I think half of the items in my house probably came from one of them 🤣 I'm glad I have the opportunity and drive to make these videos and share what goes on in my head with other people in the hobby! Stay safe, buddy! 🤗

[@chadtompkins2282]

Great build. Thanks for sharing on the Gaslands Facebook group.

[@BPCustomCreations]

You bet! 😁👍

[@RoadWarrior_John]

Outstanding build, with some really helpful tips. I might have to build something like in the future.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Please do! I'd love to see it

[@neilcummings9939]

that is so cool I'm gonna have to try.this

[@BPCustomCreations]

Yeah, buddy! Go for it 😁👍

[@taja9696]

What a cool job! I love the grill, the interior, the fabric of the sail. But as the skipper licence holder I am crying inside for total disregard of basic air dynamics. Waiting for further videos!

[@BPCustomCreations]

🤣 I never claimed to know anything about aerodynamics! ⛵

[@dangedolvarmint5469]

Post apocalyptic car lot sign reads: CARS WITHOUT ENGINES FOR “SAIL”

[@BPCustomCreations]

😂 That's a good one!

[@yayasgaragecustomdiecast7198]

Nice one!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks!! 😁👍

[@jaylomcd667]

great awesome build mate. a nice touch would be to drill out one of the headlights or taillights however maybe harder to achieve a natural look

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! I've done some similar things in the past that you can see in my Instagram. I have no plan going into a build usually, only a rough idea 😁👍

[@grimdesaye6534]

These look super cool 😎 well done Sir:)

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you!

[@waynemitchell8254]

I came to watch you make a sail and I stayed for the puns 😂

[@waynemitchell8254]

Glad I am not the only one that chants when I stipple

[@BPCustomCreations]

I was putting a lot more silly stuff in my videos back then 😂

[@kitchschopshop4075]

An inspiration again..! 👏🏼

[@BPCustomCreations]

Cheers, dude!

[@richardorta8960]

Turn a Volkswagon classic beetle into a blimp! ... please. 🥺 Using the stick shift like that, makes sense. "Sharky teeth"

[@BPCustomCreations]

That's an interesting idea. I feel like I've seen one similar before on Facebook. Maybe on one of the gaslands pages.

[@LVDLamVanDuc]

Cổ kính đẹp đẽ đó.hãy làm nhiều hơn những tác phẩm đẹp nha

[@BPCustomCreations]

Cảm ơn bạn. Tôi đang sử dụng Google dịch vì vậy tôi hy vọng điều này là ok.

[@RiganoBuilding]

You make a very interesting stuff. I love your toys. Next time if you need to cut the hard plastic weHeal, drill it before so will be easy pres with a cutter! Much less resistance about the solid plastic. Thanks

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! That's a good bit of advice too 👍

[@georgecreek1806]

I've used Mr. Muscle oven cleaner to remove paint from models it's also safe to use on plastic

[@BPCustomCreations]

Nice! But how toxic is that stuff? 😵

[@georgecreek1806]

@@BPCustomCreations I have no idea I place the model in a Ziploc bag spray in the cleaner and leave it then wash it off

[@BPCustomCreations]

@@georgecreek1806 interesting 🤔

[@cycoholic]

Should have been a Triumph Herald. 😂

[@BPCustomCreations]

😂

[@udorechner6846]

Very nice build, sadly you didn't make the wheels rolling... To the sails. If the cardboard toplayer is to thin why not double the edges up on both sides? Make the doubling a little bigger than needed and trim it to size when the layers are dryed completly. This will although prevent the paper from ripping of whein you install the wireloops. One more point. I see problems with the stability of the car. by mounting the mast offcenter The car shoul'd get an outriggerwheel to the left side!. Steering with thos drummwheels will be a challenge..

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! You have some good points on the unrealistic nature of the build but I wonder how big a sail would need to be to push a car?? This thing's gotta be heavy!

[@earlware4322]

I also thought that an outrigger would work well in this situation. You could use a tiny bead as a wheel for outrigger, just have to build it out of some wire (or a paperclip).

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank YOU!

[@kingyames]

You should take a gasland car and then ungasland it, but then have the video ply in reverse. Just for giggles

[@BPCustomCreations]

That's a really funny idea 😁 I wouldn't have the heart to destroy one of my builds, though haha. That sounds like a good April fools joke to do with a purpose built car

[@JaysDiecastCreations]

First? 😂😎👊

[@BPCustomCreations]

[@rlt422]

How is it that people in nearly every country and area in the US can get styrene sheets at the bloody dollar stores around them? My dollar stores don't have anything 1/2 that useful.

[@BPCustomCreations]

I only found them recently here and they are only at one store I know of. Where are you located? I know a lot of people use "for sale" signs as plasticard too.

[@earlware4322]

@@BPCustomCreations I have not been able to locate styrene sheets at my local dollar stores either. I started looking at the small signage (garage sale, etc.), but all that I find are very, very thin. As an alternative I have started collecting used/empty gift cards. They come in varying thicknesses and most have no embossed numbers (unlike credit cards) and are a great size for small scale scratchbuilding.

[@BPCustomCreations]

@@earlware4322 most of the styrene I use is 0.5mm thick so it doesn't need to be thick. I pive in Japan so the dollar stores are very different here as well. I was shocked to even find it here but it's not going to be in the US.

[@IAcePTI]

Is the paint striping process needed? Cant we just paint over?

[@BPCustomCreations]

It's up to you. I like to strip the paint to get a nice blank slate and the paint they use is often very thick and hides small details in the casting. I have a couple videos where I make cars and keep the paint on. Check out my scratch built roll cage video 👍

[@InakaAdventure]

For sale? Nope just two

[@BPCustomCreations]

Pfft. You got me there

[@W1wolf2]

Hello where get ur wheel box?

[@BPCustomCreations]

It's an organizer tray from my "dollar store" but I live in Japan. I think there is something similar in other dollar stores though

[@grassCrow]

looks cool … but i dont think wind-power is a feature in gaslands

[@BPCustomCreations]

It's not but there is the rule of cool 👍
