Making a MAD-MAX car from DOLLAR TREE TOYS! (How to kitbash a POST-APOCALYPTIC Gaslands vehicle!)
Ойын-сауық
Here is a post-apocalyptic battle vehicle I built from a plastic dollar store car, $1 Final Faction accessories, and found pieces. I had so much fun making smaller-scale cars for Gaslands*, that I've long since wanted to it again... but at a LARGER scale.

I've received a few comments asking about Gaslands scale cars. Well I'm happy to say Crafsman actually made a video about that a while back! :D kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKFrtaupkcS7Ypc.html

This video just oozes production value. All of the little editing tricks and jokes along with the snazzy music are the cherry on top of an already informative video of a cool build. I cannot imagine how much time it took to make this video but the effort does not go unnoticed. All I can say is that this video is a thumbs up from me.

Absolutely. I am going through my favorite creators looking for ways to up my game, and this is a master class. More notes in the first 30 seconds than others' entire videos. Every shot is interesting, multiple shots where most would use one, cool transitions - I still can't figure out how he did the vinyl black primer one - sound effects and music everywhere, lighting effects everywhere, even the shop is a set piece in addition to a workspace. If you don't turn out the lights, get a bowl of popcorn and WATCH, you miss so much. I completely missed the action figure holding down the part he was gluing and the front bumper still having "Advil" on it (I assume for all the headaches it will dole out) the first time I watched. And all that is before you even get to the crafting. The standard right here.

agreed the music alone is dopE!!!!!!
the way he speaks is so incredibly soothing. i also ADORE the way he says “pipette”
Not cleaning up the John Cena fig at 5:32 was the best gag I watched today. [chef's kiss]
Great to see a kitbash video like this! Your old kitbash vids helped me get through some really tough times a couple of years ago, and this one has turned up just when I needed it too.

Kevin, thank you for this comment. I'm grateful to hear any of my videos is of help to someone else - that's a big deal to me. That said, I do hope you are doing well! Feel free to holler at me if you ever need to talk! (thecrafsman @ gmail.com) I spaced it out for bots and that... but they'll probably be like "Psh, I see what you did, Crafsman. I got your email now!" LOL! I wish you the very best, my friend!

Hahaha yeah, I've had this before, using some Final Faction pieces and other little buts I made a really cool robot head I was super proud of, but it was too small for the body. I haven't finished it yet because I haven't been able to make another head I'm happy with or a smaller body that fits with it. xD

Not so temporary! It gets used after all, if you can spot it.
I cheered at the Advil Cap reveal lol.
You Sir, are a modern day Bob Ross for the crafting world. Your videos make the process feel effortless and motivate people to craft. You support your audience throughout the whole process. I love it. And your video editing is top notch. Thank you.
Yeah boi, the Craft Warrior rides again! Thanks for the mention, I'm glad that you have gotten some use out of the Baking Soda Dispenser. I love how you got the back chassis extension to fit over the car's inner structural post. Nice! The polystyrene accents on the hood are great. Man, that oil barrel with all of the tubes and wires. Sick! Bonus points for the light switch! : ) Excellent work all around. The variety of shots and the overall video tone and music are all superb!
Clicked just expecting a neat little car combat craft. But ended up super engrossed just falling in love with this guys voice.
Not much I'd rather do with my free time than watch a new Crafsman video. Thank you so much!
Every time my daughter hears that music at the end she starts stomping around like a robot. I appreciate your help in growing her imagination!

23:13 I’ll say it again. THIS MUSIC. It is so good. I cannot overstate how much I’m enjoying the sounds and everything about it.
The front grill primer transition was so smooth
The woodpecker effect made me smile. Crafsman's enthusiasm made me smile more. Thank you Crafsman!
On top form Crafsman! I loved this. Also PMA is a terminology I have needed for so long.

I sincerely appreciate that, Bill. And you can probably tell how much artists like you and Boylei influence me. We share a fondness for rivets, but you guys had a major influence well beyond that. (All the way down to trying to make better thumbnails.) Thanks again!
This was exactly what both my daughter and I needed this morning. The project was creative and fun. The production was impeccable. The music hit our moods exactly. It’s been sort of rough lately and we’ve both been struggling with our projects as well… I keep encouraging her regardless of any block I’m experiencing, but this gave me the push to keep working on my art… and I know watching this with my daughter before the bus came this morning gave her everything she needs to have a great day. I can’t wait for her to come home and share all the new ideas this helped spark. Thank you, Crafsman… I needed this one.
That's the most epic 'sloppy look' I've ever seen! Love how you got the Advil lid in there!
I hope you and your family had a happy Easter, Crafsman. Thank you for taking the time out of your days to teach us how to make amazing things like this. Have a blessed day!
It's like watching badass bashing of parts while listening to Dr. John narrate!!
I like how your music has started a new phase. I call it the Harold Faltermeyer phase. Love it.

I can truly appreciate the exceptional amount of work that goes into making these videos. Its the attention to detail that makes me smile almost as much as the little bits of humor here and there. But, for some reason, nothing makes me smile more than when CrafsMan is showing something on the table and then just grabs it all and pulls it off quickly before cutting. I don’t know what it is, but I can so relate to this movement.. hahahhaa.
Great video CrafsMan! Always a pleasure watching you work!
Your videos feel like Bob Ross episodes. I'm amazed, and drawn in by the work and relaxed and positive by the personality.
maaaaaaaaan this is just too good on every level- I was captivated! Hopefully it inspires more people to check their drawers

I have this EXACT car blew my mind. Your production value has gone WAY up without costing you in charm! Cheers!
The process along with the music was sooo satisfying!!! PMA also means “positive mental attitude” with the punk rock kids. Good vibes!
The man himself! Your videos have been on POINT lately. Thank you for your incredible contributions to the maker community.
The tool for making rivets being called Rosie is just... So Crafsman. I love it. So simple but effective.
This is hands down one of my favorite channels!! Absolutely love TheCrafsMan!!
Next level. Talent reminiscent of early ILM model building.
I was getting worried that you weren't going to wire up the lights. You nailed it Craft Man as usual.

CrafsMan. MAN OF CRAFS. The music in this one is so VERY GOOD.
I’ve been assembling an army of 3-3/4” figures and kitbashing dollar tree toys and second hand stores finds. Thank you for normalizing this behavior. Much Love Crafsman 🤘🏼
You're the best part of the internet, crafman.
It's abundantly clear that you want TheCrafsMan in a desert apocalypse. Even the name suggests wicked vehicles and weapons. 🤘
Dear Crafsman: I found out about your videos right when my school shut down because of the virus and I've been watching them since. A lot in my life has happened since then and your videos have carried me through some tough and not-so-tough stuff. Your videos are always so calming and so cool and creative and everything in between all at the same time. I've showed my parents and my sisters your videos and they all love them. You've got a great charm and you're super creative. I can tell you put a lot of effort in this videos so just thanks for always making them. :)
Here's another CA glue tip: If you use a spray bottle with some ~70% IPA alcohol it works perfectly as a cheap accelerator! Loved this video Crafsman
One of the best channels on KZread! Love a good kitbash!
I've missed this kind of content so much.
Art, this isn’t just a video it’s art. Thank you very much 👍
Another episode full of love and Kitbashing and the CraftsMan.
Great to see you again, Crafsman! A couple of notes with the accelerators you used: the spray accelerator gives a more brittle bond than standard CA glue. On the other hand, baking soda gives a significantly stronger bond than standard CA glue.
I would gladly ride this to the gates of Valhalla! Shiny and chrome!
Listen to how extra happy Crafsman’s voice sounds at the start of this video haha. You know he’s about to have him a good time!
Always a good start to the weekend with a Crafsman video.
This might be the most gangster kitbash channel I have ever come across.
My favorite minute was every minute but my favorite minute of all minutes was 4:12 "hurty gurty", hadn't heard that in long time 😂
What a terrific video. Good things that keep pouring into my eyes and ears for 26 minutes straight. Now I want to throw away my life of running water and a shelter over my head and ride that extremely cool vehicle through a desolate wasteland in search of fuel and sustenance.
You single handedly got me into this hobby and Gaslands by proxy. I appreciate you.

It makes me happy to hear from folks who got into Gaslands! I have some very warm and wonderful memories tied up in making Gaslands cars with our youngest son ("Crafsson"), and I think often about making more. That scale is so attractive, too - a little goes a long way! :D Thank y'all for these nice comments, and for watching this video.
"It would be a shame not to build a post-apocalyptic battle car" I love this channel ❤️
A new CrafsMan video?! Oh what a day, what a lovely day! Witness him!!
Needs some battle damage and bullet holes... brilliant execution and I love the rivet head technique you employed on the armor plates.
Crafsman, your audio has gotten of the charts awesome. Your videos have always been really entertaining to watch. You've really put in the work and make the whole experience top notch. Thank you again for presenting a great video. I love you too!
When the blackwash filled in the word "Advil" I got so hyped
I am sorry happy that someone else liked those cars. And Final Faction! I really want the SteadyCraftin (OST) with some of Crafsman's sick tracks. Oh wait! I just found "STEADY CRAFTIN SHOP MUSIC VOLUME 1"
Me and my brother made a bunch of "Mad Max" cars out of 1/72nd scale models when the second movie came out. Thank you for the nostalgia/memory blast.
The progressive music in this video is outstanding crafsman! Really well done
thank you for posting! it was a great experience.
5:32 Crafsman trippin me up while I'm drinkin coffee
Never knew that trick about heat treating plastic parts. Thank you for all your wisdom!
Awesome!!!! I was laughing when you threw in the action figure to hold parts together!!!! Great video!!!!!!!
Sometimes I see or hear people saying they aren't a musician or aren't an artist, and I think that's a silly thing for them to say. I hope you can understand, CrafsMan, that you are a musician and an artist.
CRAFSMAN, YOU TORE UP ONE OF THE FINAL FACTION FIGURES I NEEDED TO COMPLETE MY COLLECTION! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
I’m thoroughly convinced that if you voiced everyone’s inner monologue, there would be a drastic decline in conflicts world wide.
An outstanding kit bash, loaded to the max, I'd wouldn't want to run into this in the wastelands.
Advil front tag, got it in there somewhere. Product placement (they should be so lucky). As always, you're great TCM!
I have been watching your videos for at least 4 years now and I am thrilled to see the quality, video production and enthusiasm all increase as time has gone on!! Its awesome to see your subscriber count go up and up, despite the fact you should be at a million+ by now Keep on keepin'on, Crafsman!!!

Mike, thank you so much for this comment, and for keepin’ on watching! I really do appreciate it!
BRAVO Crafsman! I totally understand how the process of adding a detail after another can get very addictive. God if I like those offensive spikes in the front! Personally I tend to modify heavily the scrap bits I use...And it was fascinating to see how you, instead, found bits and pieces that fit greatly into the overall context making relatively little adjustments here and there. That is a great "kitbash eye" you've got there I think. BRAVO Crafsman!
It's a great Friday when Crafsman has a new vid. Hope everyone's having a great day, and keep on... Steady craftin. 💜
I love it when a kitbash comes together! Awesome work as usual Crafsman!!
Dude. I haven’t even made it past the opening sequence, and I have to pause and say that music at the beginning is REALLY good, man. I absolutely love that piece. I am a fan of everything I’ve heard from you, but that was the coolest thing I’ve heard in a LONG time. From anyone.
Needed this tonight. Current trashbash/kit bash is driving me up the wall with crud paint. Thank you for reminding me why it gets done
This man is the Bob Ross of kitbashing.
You should never have let us on with the two cars crafsman. I was convinced I just witnessed the cleanest edit ever
I see you were able to get at least a piece of that Advil lid on this project. Good job.
Love it! Great music, great presentation, cool little project. Your vibe is so positive and awesome.
Come for the crafing, stay for the bangin tunes… and the crafing
Love the soundtrack on this one! Fun with a little touch of melancholy - my favorite. This looks very achievable!

I've been a fan for years, and it is amazing to see you grow, not just in crafting, but in film making too. Honestly, this video feels like something made by a whole studio with a 1/4 million budget. I love you craftsman; thank you for making these wonderful videos, they help with my anxiety a lot. I hope making them has been good for you too. 😊
Great post apocalyptic car!
I'm glad to see you Kitbash again Crafsman! I was so excited when I seen the title of the video. Not only is it one of your better new videos but I can hear in your whole demeanor that you enjoyed this project as well. You seemed more relaxed like your in your element. Keep on Craftin!!!
that's some next level editing you're showing off, amazing work
I love the way you worked the advil lid into this car, lol!
More of these kit-bash videos PLEASE!
I love how you ended up using the Advil lid in the front bumper. I laughed when i noticed it there
The Advil grill. Nice! Incorporated it in the end
Great work Crafsman! I really love this video and your post-apocalyptic costume is on point! =D
Nice rivet technique. Love the final result.
YES THESE KIT BASH VIDEOS ARE MY FAVORITE!!!
SO much about this video went way harder than it had to. Crafsman always goes above and beyond in such a charming/understated way. And I hope the tunes make it onto spotify or something because they're all SO GOOD.
