I bought all these hot wheels and matchbox cars for my little cousins, nieces, and nephews for the holidays last year, but was told that they don't really like them.... So, of course, now you got me in the basement playing madmax with these things and my wife thinks I'm crazy.

I don’t think you’re crazy! I got into it for a little while and made an RX-7. It’s fun and there’s so much you can do with them that I would have never thought of if it wasn’t for some of these videos.

You're not crazy - it has been shown that if you are feeling stressed, playing with some toy cars for a short while, has a significant calming effect - similar to that of stroking a pet cat. It works, too.

TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin You more than deserve it because your videos give so much people joy and light which especially in these days of social distancing helps to keep positive & crafting. Doing crafty things gives such an enjoyment. And the way you make your videos feels so warm & close, we’re really there with you. No shouting and showing off but sheer warmth and calmness. It makes your videos not only great to watch & full of great crafting tips to do but also therapeutic for the soul. I’ve been doing a lot of crafting on my old cars lately and one of them has a great Arizona patina and this video has given me anticipation for buying a scale model & making it look like the real deal. Really looking forward to doing this. So thank you & the crafsfamily again for so much love and inspiration! :D

This is probably one of my favorite Crafs videos. The printed spray cans and such cracked me up!

I love how you kept that mean-looking metal one stripped and clean, and just stuck the spikes and bumper on it. Really stands out as a slick machine, makes you wonder what it's got under the hood that lets it compete with the other wasteland monstrosities.

"Something you can use to simulate dirt... ... Dirt!" Don't know why that tickled me so much. Properly laughed out on the loud 😂

i am such a huge fan of post-apocalyptic aesthetics/games/movies this was such a huge treat to watch. I used to build jury-rig LEGO cars as a kid so they could blow up into pieces when they crashed or got shot

Man, I just re-watched Fury Road and now this drops! Your timing is on point. This video combines all my favorite things: cars, modeling, crafs, and mayhem. Nice work!

the thing i do is mold a lot of the various pieces i find and then cast them up in 2 part plastic. that way i can modify them how i need and still have the original item.

Beautiful kitbashing work.
