Hello, Very nice Video! ❤ Greetings from 🇩🇪 ! 😊👋🏻

[@ricardogutierrez2173]

Hello sir , I love you videos I really thank you for making this kind easy for beginners 😂.

[@alfowler7058]

Thanks Bob for your videos they sure help. Listening to Winston enjoying his peaceful is a bonus.

[@soullessginger3117]

I remember painting the speedometer and pinstripes on the models I built as a kid/teenager now that I'm old (er) I've been thinking about getting back into them

[@ralphhowing3473]

I believe the stacks are way out of scale!!

[@ralphhowing3473]

One thing about Tamiya r/c kits is that most of the kit assembles fairly easy but when you get to the detail steps it's a lot less convenient!

[@joeyclark789]

Nice to see ol Winston. He's fully grown now. I've learned a bundle watching your videos and it's helped me alot. You inspired me to get into this area of the hobby. I've always loved the Tamiya semis and like you've said, there is just so much awesome stuff that you can do with them from stock truck to over the moon custom. I always watch your videos to learn and love your professionalism and style. Plus your videos are just relaxing and cool. I'm sure you'll get another order from me soon too lol

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

OK... I SPENT THOUSANDS!!! But you're right, not everybody has to, to have a nice, functional Rig. The Mica Blue is Beautiful!! I may have to do one of mine in that color.

[@CanadianSnowman01]

Thankyou! Your videos have helped me with my first RC build!

[@Maroma0802]

Very nice and clear video again about the build of an RC truck. So Nice to watch your video's. On to the next!

[@f250ford5]

Thank you very much, this was a great video series. Just finished up my hauler

[@truckerray7533]

Nice video! Beautiful colors! The truck is a Freightliner XL Classic👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@hillrwayne]

oh wow, i love watching your build videos on these trucks, i would really love to build one myself, im diabetic and had to have half my foot amputated due to an infection, ive havent worked in almost a year now,but im almost healed up, me and my Mom have had to sell alot of stuff to stay on top of bills, but if i could afford it, i would buy one of your all in one kits, so awesome build, the truck turned out beautiful

[@dennisfreitas7675]

Great job got me itching to get another truck been real busy getting my craft show stuff ready

[@Raptor50aus]

Great work as always Bob !

[@newportmike8519]

Hey Bob - Thank you for making these easy to follow tutorials. Very much appreciated. Don't think I would commit to a build without them. I will contact you when ready and maybe we talk metal parts and options.

[@caltanner9718]

Looks awesome great job

[@kevinwhipple8041]

I love it, keep on doing what you do.

[@lars-uweschubert898]

Amazing 🤩 great job 👏👍💪

[@lukes5533]

Love your videos Bob😀👍

[@JeffDonahueScaleModeling]

Hi Bob. I really like you new kits. I have been looking at the AAA, it looks so cool. Yes. I am of that certain age. I remember the Varago very well. The Mini and the Morgan look great too. The weather has been crazy here. Thursday I was mowing grass. Saturday I was shoveling snow! It looks like rain for the next two days. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day! Jeff

[@EVAASIVEOne]

Thank you for all of your vids youve put out, the thought and detail you put into your videos and commentary is more than anybody could ask for. Amazing efforts make amazing videos

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Thanks!

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Does anyone out there still custom paint these types of bodies? I know there’s plenty of Lexan body painters, haven’t found a plastic body painter.

[@jlast450]

Great video!

[@fromrctorealthing5299]

great video thanks

[@mehmetadilgur9125]

HELLO MR. BOB I bought a second hand Grand Hauler. The chassis is in bad condition, there are too many holes. There are some missing parts and the paint is not good. But I will make a nice Grand Hauler by following your videos. Thanks

[@rcsr8354]

Good job 👍

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Awsome

[@zacksteffen2940]

Nice

[@cfusername]

Hey Bob! I really love to watch your videos and your detailed work on these models! I finished building my Grand Hauler weeks ago, but never mounted the visor. The tip using the screws is exactly what I needed! But I wonder, if you could maybe post a close up picture, where to drill the holes (especially in the body) or just a picture of the screw-mounted visor on one side? Greetings from Germany!

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Join the Tamiya Truck Open Studio Facebook group. I will post a few pictures there.

[@alimaleki217]

“It’s basically stock” There’s nothing stock about how you paint your models; looks amazing! I was watching with interest as you assembled the mirrors/trim to see your secret after suffering through countless BB6 nuts today (Scania R470) only to discover your little nut driver! Why didn’t I think of that?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I always hope there is at least one "tip" in my videos for everyone!

[@mapuc]

The thing you did with the body where you added cement to connection between the parts is called Capillary force

[@quintinstevens9408]

Have you ever put together a 20 ft or 40ft connex for the trailer with the metal locking kit. You are great with the builds.

[@RC4X4]

Great video and info. You expanded your paint booth? I like the whole underside painted.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I got 2 new paint booths that are lighted and then hooked them together. Way better for the big Tamiya bodies!

[@yeungpo2319]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@karlbarley610]

Hi would you send your grand hauler kit to the uk . Thanks karl. Ps great channel

[@grease94819481]

You do a great job Bob. Have you got a video by any chance of a Flysky FS-i6 controlling a G.T.Power container truck lighting and voice vibration system pro (eu), part/item 103063?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

I have never been able to get GT Power stuff working correctly. Sadly their products show promise but are like 75% finished......

[@geraldclemens1682]

Absolutely beautiful truck. How many hours on average does it take to build this truck?

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

Thanks! I would guess for a novice it takes about 10 hours or so to build plus painting. Painting can be a few hours or many, many depending on how complicated you get. :-)

[@CalsRcworld]

Hi Bob, great video. Just wondering how you made your spray booth. Do you have a parts list of what you used? I’d love to make a set up like yours.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

It is two of the standard booths hooked together. Here is a link from Amazon. www.amazon.com/Autolock-Airbrush-Lighted-Capacity-Portable/dp/B09QFK573V/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?crid=2JXW11NK5SUR4&keywords=hobby+paint+booth&qid=1652624114&sprefix=hobby%20paint%20booth,aps,140&sr=8-4-spons&psc=1

[@tommyrescue82]

Very nice job Bob my question is on your tools .. I like to know where you got your drill and drills set with the tiny drills Please.

[@HobbyconceptsLLC]

My drill sets came from Amazon. I have a set of number drills and that cool set with the combo drill/taps.

[@makewithmegma]

🔥💕👌👍

[@bryanherchler670]

How hard is it to bind the truck to a dxe gen 2 transmitter

[@tommyli1695]

how many cans of mica blue and clear is needed for spraying all component( include cabin, rear cover, roof, fender etc.)

[@aaronwitner4449]

Where can I get one of them . I would like to try my hand at building one

[@impeachemall693]

Real nice but so much work. Does anyone know where you can buy one allready built?
