Woody Paint Job Practice - Matchbox Dodge Caravan

[@DiecastResurrection]

Hello Happy Monday! I did a little practice work on this Mini Van today lol What kind of models should we woody next? Lemme know!! 🍻🍻👊👊

[@jimcabezola3051]

Yep...I'm feeling the woodgrain! Superb!

[@2meterPeter.]

Surfboard beach themed woody

[@abielmanchego2270]

Hi

[@jameselliott1061]

Hey I have a hotwheels vette 4x4 needs some love be cool build.

[@shawnl2934]

Station Wagon

[@scwaty180]

Wow that wood grain looks amazing with the trim. You need to make a National Lampoons Vacation wagon next with a 3D printed grandma laying on top

[@NitrousDiecast]

Looks great! It needs a custom license plate too! Lol…

[@chrisoreeves]

I love die casts of regular every day vehicles. Great job on this one !

[@DiecastFever]

Who else could make an 84 minivan look cool other than this guy! 🤟🏼

[@MNgigman]

Try vinyl's next time for realistic woody next.

[@gr5535]

Came out really nice, next one should be a big traditional 60's - 70's nine passenger station wagon

[@jimf.625]

Your paint work is off the hook. It’s at another level. Nobody can come close.

[@maynardjenkins1371]

Not gonna lie this has got to be my favorite vehicle you've done. My mom had one when i was 12. Many rides to school and my baseball games.

[@amd6570]

Turned out awesome!!!👍🏼🍻

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks 👍 Nice seeing you man

[@2meterPeter.]

You just never know what kind of vehicle style is up next for painting. Love it. Love the diversity.

[@markmoats5702]

The picture of the van you showed my parents had that exact same van in the 90's

[@markmoats5702]

The gold one

[@bigsid3011]

Nailed it!. Perfect for taking the kids hockey gear to practice. Ours was green. Drove it for 10 years until the tranny left the building. Finger prints in the paint means it came from Windsor Assembly. Remember - Only you can prevent forest fires!

[@jimmysuperduty1484]

I have this casting from when i was a kid, the sliding door was amazing it never broke even through my childhood

[@dellde67]

Totally nailed it. The painted pinstripe was genius. You made ugly look cool.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

best looking matchbox caravan i've ever seen. it's beautiful man.

[@MatSpeedle]

Love this! As an 80's kid this ticks all my boxes. Wood panelling looks amazing!

[@goddimmus]

This brought back a tidal wave of nostalgia. Thank you. Its pretty perfect!

[@BernsteinOmega]

Love it! My parents had an 88 Voyager, so I was like, "Fu$k yeah!" Especially when you added the lighter brown boarder to the woody part! On point!

[@correya.lettsome4702]

You have done alot of impressive stuff but the complexity needed to get this simple result is amazing. Keep them coming.

[@JorgeLDiaz]

The trim really brought it to life.

[@soldofsolitude]

An early 60's nomad and the Christmas vacation wagon would be excellent for practice.

[@michaellopez809]

Not something I thought I would see you do but I have to say I love it. Looks so real.

[@leongoddard7047]

That's a pretty solid first attempt . The old caravan is a great test subject. I think it turned out good!

[@NikkiWrightVGM]

This seriously poked me in the nostalgia. I had the same Matchbox caravan and seeing it here makes me wanna see more 80's and 90's stuff from you!

[@fernandogalindo8512]

For me, this minivan is beautiful, a master piece!!!🤣🤣🤣. June 1984 left my service U.S.M.C. as a heavy vehicle operator.

[@richardunicorn7879]

This is one of my favorite Matchbox castings, so I was very excited to see you customize it. The wood paneling came out great! 👍

[@byrontaylor9235]

Sweet turned out really cool I'm digging the colors in the woodwork turned out awesome and made this van pop I always like the little quirky vans but awesome then awesome awesome awesome

[@MoonMoon-rj6fs]

That Van is Beautiiful......!!! 👏😊

[@j.k.8773]

I never lived truly in the 90's being born in 98, and I love this van and would love to have this in my collection*

[@col.caspermcgoldenshower4512]

Love it reminds of my childhood

[@doubleedgedfist1535]

Lol awesome! Looks like something the Grizwolds would take on their next vacation!

[@VacFink]

Nicely done. It looks like the paint's tearing when you paint over the cut vinyl. Maybe run an exacto on the edge as you pull off or cut it on the vinyl cutter after you paint the sheet

[@diecastlifeanddeath4528]

Matchbox Mercury Villager Station wagon. Perfect candidate! Great work!

[@KACalpito]

I want this in my collection. That wood grain is a nice touch, great work once again. Anything from the 70/80’s maybe even early 90’s would be cool to see with wood grain

[@clintgoodwill4545]

i got mad love for dodges, i owned a 1994 caravan. built like a tank, good times.

[@DareDevilDave75]

My mom had the maroon one. And when I was 16, I redid it in white marble shelf paper As a surprise. Didn’t go as well as I hoped. She made me peel it all off immediately! Good times!

[@joeymigues3276]

That turned out good, can't wait till you do a proper one. My parents had a woodie similar to the one on National Lampoon Vacation.

[@chrishervas8586]

I really like what was done to that van, reminds me of my Grandpa who had three of those actual vans. Sweet

[@dadebrwn]

Best bit of editing!... "The lighting is kinda shi...shlighting isn't very good..." That's absolutely brilliant! 😂💦

[@kz6fittycent]

Awesome outcome. That brought back some memories

[@solitairesmith3553]

TRUE WORK OF ART!!!

[@octane613]

Unreasonably pretty

[@427bad]

Brings back memories.. my friends Dad was a huge fan of Chrysler products, he had 3 Caranvans including a brown on brown woody!

[@nobodyreallyknows]

Love that Sweet slider door!! Awesome Woody! Nice Job Bro!

[@TheGreatKingBoo]

This brings me back to my youth 🙂 My Dad had the light brown woody minivan similar to the picture you showed. I would borrow it all the time, pull out the seats and throw a matress in it to go camping with the boys.

[@Copperpot8898]

Great job, I remember all the moms had these vans and we’d all pack in on any church activity if we had to car pull.

[@PandaBeXar71]

Awesome! Talk about flashback. 😆

[@joeholloway1386]

Nice touch with the wood panels! Nice details and paint job 👍👍

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

Now that's a cool soccer mom ride. Nice job

[@TourDriverSean]

I don't recall there being that dark of a blue on that model, but that may have just been not popular around my area, it was more a sky blue. But man does that bring back memories of seeing them rolling down the road when i was a kid

[@robdawg6674]

Actually nailed that yellowish brown trim. Looks good dude

[@royceessig6375]

Love this.... not a super cool car.... but the technique is awsome.

[@FluffyTheGryphon]

Oh my god. This is beautiful.

[@johnkaiser8410]

Good job, looks great! Enjoy everyday cars as well as radicals! Enjoy learning the various processes, keep up the good work!

[@neilcummings9939]

absolutely love this build it is so different from the norm. if they made this again I'd grab a few. mainly thou I have a build for diecast graveyard that I was struggling with for an idea. thank you for the inspiration as I'm gonna try this idea on a mini Cooper. build that never should be and or are different are awesome. hope all is well buddy see you next vid

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks Neil!

[@travelersdiecastcustoms1511]

Like the Woody decals. Turned out great!👍👍

[@jameshewitt7376]

I think you did a great job on it it looks absolutely awesome doing the Woody detailing and repainting the interior and all of that made it look so much more authentic and real, I just love it!

[@shellygenter8585]

I drove a burgundy woodie Plymouth Voyager. Death trap from hell. Could push the steering wheel to the dashboard without tripping the switch. Drivers chair was only held on with one bolt. None of the windows rolled down and the air con was broken. When it rained, it wouldn't start. Had to bang on the solenoid to get it to turn over. BUT THE RADIO WAS KILLER!!!!

[@statusvip8418]

I love this thing my dad used to have a caravan that was light blue with the wood filled to the top with speakers.

[@chrislight4325]

Awesome, super nostalgic. Now if the clear coat starts pealing off and the fake wood fades it’ll be just like the real thing! 😂

[@stevecann3394]

Love it! Just as good as a fancy hot rod in my eyes👀😃

[@averagemodeler]

My wife and i used to own one almost exactly looked like this one. Beauty of a job

[@vincentmannelli2258]

Looks great!

[@gregabreu7346]

It turned out bad ass. The wood was on point.

[@cryhavikk]

That's the most beautiful hideous thing I've ever seen! 😁

[@mrsam6751]

Great video Old school chic caravan

[@donovansteenberg9105]

I want that so bad. Laugh all you want but caravans are awesome.

[@snadeau3651]

Love the woodie minivan! Looks great

[@scotsman94]

I can't stand Caravans personally, but your work is on point. Spot on representation of the original! Nicely done!

[@CapTexamerica]

That is just freaking nuts how well that matches the beastly abominations that rolled out of the '80s. HOW DARE YOU make a Dodge Caravan seem cool?!?!

[@joedemoss99]

Can’t go wrong with the jeep grand waganeer. The best wood panel of them all.

[@chargoldsmith5112]

Very cool woody van! Great job… ✌️

[@glennhoopes9764]

Wow that is awesome next one you should try to do rat fink style having the shifter knob bust out the windshield and big engine and big tires in the back and all that crazy stuff

[@darrenstafford7492]

I think you did a fine job with this being a first time! It looks nearly as good as the real thing.

[@cowcat33]

Its absolutely beautiful...

[@KitFireburn]

Oh yeah, this is the kinda content i subscribed for! Beautiful work on this woody, love it! 👍

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Great work as always . Paint is awesome .

[@elitt2525]

Looks awesome

[@jasondill2707]

That was fun to watch. Great job!!

[@Tiger351]

Nice job for the first attempt, wish I had 60's Ford wagon casting to sling your way now.

[@Guitarrockstar5683]

I never thought I'd ever say this but hey man you got a nice woody there!

[@JustARandomGuy-1234]

for some reason i love the real versions of these.. i spent money on a 1/32 version of this

[@nikonordman7624]

Looks really dope

[@troysmoliak4924]

Hello from BC that little minivan turned out great love the colors.

[@playinwithfirecustoms7954]

Awesome job...ESPECIALLY for just screwin around/experimenting

[@jameshunt9130]

Awesome work you made a family van cool

[@davidgriffith7756]

Nothing wrong with doing a Dodge minivan , not everyone has a want to see a hot rod or sweet custom job for every project , regular vehicles are really cool to and this is one caravan i would drive if i had a real one painted like this

[@darylthomas4676]

Turned out great man! I'm glad you showed us this one.My parents had an 83 ford ltd country squire woodie station wagon. I kept asking my dad when was he going to take the car out of the wooden crate it came in?

[@iscogblackscale5777]

Looking good. Back in the day my mom looked in to getting one.

[@bobp5356]

Nice job. Love the customs.

[@jfar3536]

I thinks it's one of my faves

[@bigolbeee]

This looks like my little tikes mini van I’d push myself around the house and watch nascar races in oh the memories

[@benjaminzirker7557]

Nice. Love it when you go goofy

[@mortenhenningsen940]

I dig the look. The blue is spot on on. Think it came out nice. I like tje collour on that leather" interrior. remember when the Next gen came out,ewery one wanted it.

[@tyler2610]

Very neat, it just needs white walls now😀 You could put the woody treatment on that Pacer in the background.

[@SummerRoseRacing]

I absolutely love what you did to this Dodge Caravan and that you chose it to work on! :) It is an awesome cssting! :)

[@paulinnes4493]

Cool design planet caravan 👍

[@johnduman4679]

Hello from the Great Lakes! Great job Austin!

[@teee4532]

The Carivan looks awesome with the wood paneling! I grew up in a small town with a Dodge dealership and all you saw in town was the Dodge Caravan and Dodge Aries K cars.
