I've Not RACED this Man-Child Yet - Here's Why

[@Stu88Turner]

Tomley vs Talbot is the collaboration 2023 needs

[@TomleyRC]

‘Man-child’…. I’m just having fun. We all play with RC Cars, we are all big kids. Chill out 😅

[@caststhrowsbladespews]

I will happily admit that I am a man-child! 🤣and if you ask my wife, she wouldn't hesitate to agree.. 😒😅

Congrats on taking your channel to the next level, not easy quitting hour job I can imagine. Hang in there we love your vids !!!

[@DustyFingersRC]

Everyone has been rough with the bug going about. People don't realise the time and effort that goes in to content and your edits and footage are always great as I have mentioned before. I appreciate the work you put in and all the best for the coming year

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, there's a lot of it going around! Thanks dude

[@roboRCMods]

Your videos are golden man! Like reliving my childhood watching your content! Please don't stop posting new videos!!!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Plenty more videos coming :)

[@brsrc759]

Can't wait for your race against our favorite Man-child 🤣🤣. About the micro crawler course, if you're combining different brands of paint, that is likely the problem.

[@billsrcadventures8806]

So awesome that FMS sent you that. The scale beer cans are awesome! Best of luck healing up from being sick. Looking forward to new videos

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, FMS are very kind

[@Sideshowgaz5779]

Glad you are feeling better. Can't wait to see what you bring to the channel in 2023.

[@Rek_Rc]

I think it would be cooler for the two of you to race identical rc cars that are both built and tuned the same by a 3rd party.

[@christophermadderson4070]

Great one bud have a great new year and looking forward to seeing your video's in 2023 enjoy them so much and got my first rc for Xmas off my daughters. Big thumbs-up

We all appreciate you Tomely, you are one of three go to channels before I buy and it’s thanks to you and the others that I have a lot more fun in my private life. Incidentally, I have bought a Summit because of YOU. Get well soon, and keep filming. Best wishes from Suffolk UK.

This time of year always tends to be busy for everyone. I wish I could be working on my RC projects but, my real truck decided it needed more work. Thankfully the parts showed up so hopefully this weekend I can get the engine back together and back in the truck.

Good luck dude 👌

Tips for your mini crawler project you probably already know. Use cement to add more realistic and durable textures to your project. Mix cement into a milkshake consistency. Brush thicker than usual layers onto your entire mini crawler project. Working section by section. Dab brush to add additional textures to areas while it's drying. Use oil based paint to cover the cement in thin layers (for better textures). Oil based is more durable. Wait as long as you can for the oil based paint to cure. Weeks to months. The longer the stronger. Add some black paint to your colors you've used and thin out your oil based paint with mineral spirits to fill in the cracks. Making the textures pop. To take it even further, you can dry brush areas to make textures pop even more and make trails and tire burn marks that way too. You can add dirt and little rocks where you want and use an adhesive spray to keep them in place. Like dirt trails. Which adds realism. When your done with that. Let all that dry for as many days or weeks as you can before adding the finishing coat. Use an enamel based matte can spray to coat your entire project. At least 3 thin layers. The final coat will darken everything slightly and make colors more bold. Then add whatever details after, like trees, shrubs, signs, boulders, and bridges. Use a drill to make holes for them, due to cement layer. As I said, I'm sure you know most if not all of this already, but just in case. Here ya go.

[@csf6614]

That BMW looks EPIC..... looking forward to the You Kev battle lol ... watch both of you and love banter ...

[@FarmerFpv]

Happy New Year Phil! Hopefully, 2023 will be much easier and much more profitable for you buddy!

[@MauzyrockRC]

Hey, only part way through the vid, but maybe try this tip on your crawler course. Try mixing regular premix plaster with regular latex wall paint (like burnt umber) and apply it and let it dry. We use it in TV/film for recreating cement and concrete. It holds up. Cheers. Great vids dude, all the hard work is inspiring! Cheers from Newfoundland!

[@rcplaytime]

Great tip,will use that for myself 👍👍😀

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. I'll be sure to check it out. I'll be in Newfoundland this Summer. Visiting family in St Johns 👌

[@mossyhollow3732]

On the mini crawler course you may want to try garage floor epoxy with silica or sand. That coating is tough. Cheers Phil! Glad you’re all doing better.

[@modelnutty6503]

that stuff is great for undercoating a car if you want it to last.

[@rccrazy]

I have a tiny channel and I can't work so I'm kind of in the same situation as you, but mate, I can tell you having all the time in the world doesn't specifically make things easier🥵 Your a great creator, you will get on top of and figure things out in no time mate👍

[@UpperLeftRC]

Also a great product that helps with the mini course and keeping stuff from chipping etc is some texture paste, “AK diorama earth texture” they have a bunch of different types like light dirt, dark dirt, sand, asphalt etc. It’s like a plaster textured colored paste that covers plaster cloth really well, doesn’t chip and drys quickly with great texture for mini crawler tries. I don’t know how easy it is for you to get on your side of the pond but on Amazon you should be able to order it quick and easy. I use it on my courses and it really helps prevent chirping and stuff and holds up really well! 😄👍🏻 (not a sponsor) lol I just really enjoy the product

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome! I'll take a look at that. Thanks dude

[@iannickerson2272]

Old model RR trick for scenic plaster cloth. Dip pieces in coloured water. Get the water fairly dark in the colour you want, as you won't be dipping them for long. Also when using plaster add powdered dye to dry mix, or liquid dye to water, mix to desired colour. This way, scrapes are nearly invisible and adds realism. Water based paints work way better than spray paint.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, spray cans seem to be a bit crap

[@Pablo668]

Ha ha you stirrer you. Looking forward to when you guys do race each other. Those B6’s are a sweet chassis, that little beamer is really cool too. Glad to hear the wife is ok too.

Happy new year Phil🍾🥂🎆, hoping 2023 gets better than December. Times always in need. So do the things as you can do them. This race shouldn't be stress, maybe Kev has a guest room or you'll take a hotel. There's always a stressless solution.

[@crazyCHRISTcraver]

You said it, “I’m pro’ly tryin to do too much…” As a KZbinr, it’s too easy to make more plans than you have time. I constantly feel behind. I’m the only one that knows anything about what I’m behind on but the pressure is crazy!

Next time you're doing stuff with plaster or plaster cloth, mix some paint in the water, and the base won't show white if you chip it. I always mix paint in with my sculptamold mix, so it has a base color before I do washes and detailing.

[@woodheat49]

Mix some earth tone pigments in your plaster to darken it a bit. That way, you can use a dry brush technique to add some realistic details.

[@v3nom298]

You and Kev are easily my favourite Rc Guys, I've got a large selection too, only just started putting a few basic vids on, Fms have some brilliant products, I had a really good brushless plane from them, I hope one day I can be like you and Kev, maybe even go on a crawl or a race with you guys. 😆
