Guy Builds Top Gear Toyota Hilux Scale Model Tribute

Scale models collecting is a tough ‘disease’. You will spend large amounts of cash on highly-detailed diecasts and you won’t stop until you got every car you like while your wife leaves the house because you are too busy to dust off your huge collection that spreads over the entire house.

This passion might push you to even create your own custom models and artificially age them and add that patina old cars have, because you know, beauty is in the details.

Like this guy that started his own little project in which he made a scale radio controlled Toyota Hilux, ‘aged’ and beaten up like the one from Top Gear. The process is pretty interesting and if you plan to do something similar, here you will see different techniques to make the scale model look old and damaged. The first three parts shows the aging process, while the fourth video shows the completed RC being tested in the mud.
