Great find!!! I was always fascinated by the asthetics of car-wrecks ever since I was a child. As a passionate car-nut and designer I also have a design-interested in the negative form-shaping forces of driving.
I used to build high detail scale kits as a kid and equiped them with little amounts of explosives (from firecrackers) and tried to arbitrarily destroy them to wrecks. Never worked out as I wanted...
I like the recreation of rust on those kits!

Cheeze, I have seen those up close and in person and talked to the constructor. Let us say he does not belong in polite society. He's one sick mo-fo. And his model construction is not that good either, amazing how small piccies can make it seen so. He covers guffaws live a politician covers his bums.

i wasn't really interested in the car crash ones. the junkyard ones were what i liked. i myself couldn't produce the level of modelling that that he appears to be able to produce in the video.
i just thought it was a neat perspective that someone would do all those cars as though they were rotting away in the junkyard.
i used to love to build models when i was a kid but i never had very much skill when it came to detailing them

man..makes me want to get back into model building..that was what i liked to do..diorama's of race shops or gas staions..wrecking yards (portions of)..i did a diorama long time ago of the back area of a local mortuary..found models of both the limo they had and a model of the linclon the herse was based on..scratch built that of the kit and gave the whole thing to the owner..it was in his office until he sold...
side story..back in 1980 i talked him into sponcering my racing team..he bought my carberator..a 2 barrel 750 holley..to this day i dont know where he got it...anyway he wouldnt let me put the mortuary name on the car...so i painted it on the frame rail under the car...the week that i had done that..he and his wife went to the races with my folks and other group and i turned the car over in front of the grandstands...the name of the funerl home in bold white lettering in plain view...LOL

Some very nice rust and damage effects on the cars, but the guy through the windshield is kinda sick.
yeah, i thought the same as you.
I thought I had seen some very amazingly detailed models before, but those are far beyond anything I have seen before. I watched the entire video with my jaw on the floor!
When I was a kid and into building models, I would try to make wrecked cars by holding the models over a few candles until the plastic got soft enough to smoosh in....never looked all that good. I have no idea how he produces the damage on the cars, but it looks freaking awesome.
And, yes, the guy through the windshield was a bit macabre, but I still really liked it!
