Working on one currently that is just on wooden plinth. Will be for my current SCX proxy car. Vineyard to go with sponsor. Will hopefully post some progress soon.

Yup. Another falls to the slotting bug. :)

Thanks Ted. And everyone. I have serious doubts that it can really ever be anything more than a hobby. But I'm planning on putting a box on eBay some time soon to see what happens. I really don't think there's a market for them in Australia. But shipping is likely to be an expensive issue to get the...

Absolutely brilliant idea!

I wonder how many actually will get made rather than just considered.

Congratulations

I had some carbon black paint left in the palette from doing something else so decided to make use of some of it to do some extra work on details that I wasn't quite happy with. The washout in the downhill run just never had enough depth to it. So it was the first place on the hit list. Before http:...

Hmmm.... You... JohnnyFly... Add a few more to the list and you can pool for the airfare. ;)

I can just see it now. A small scale tour of the States and all I ever get to see is my own scenery. :D

Unfortunately at the moment the Torana is the only true Aussie icon available. I have one undergoing a makeover currently and one still in its race trim. I'll try to remember to get you some photos of it when I head out there to do some more work on it later. Track is a bit of a mess at the moment a...

I do indeed David, otherwise I would never have tackled grassing the track. Just imagining doing that kind of area with a puffer bottle makes my hands ache. I have a static grass doohickey that was made from an electronic fly swat. I think it could have a bit more zap though. I have found that there...

Oh... Almost forgot. Just for you David. http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt122/fading_embers/Slot%20cars/02_torananana.jpg http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt122/fading_embers/Slot%20cars/01_torananana.jpg If you look closely you'll notice that the glue holding the long grass at the base of the...

Ember keeps showing that cherry red Pioneer Charger in her track pics and although I dont care for street versions the thing is just calling to me. I'm trying to fight the urge though.. ;) LOL. Give in to the urge. You KNOW you want to. Meanwhile, I'm waiting patiently for Jules to release a Camaro...

Trouble is now I've got a decision to make. Do I continue the grass up over the tops of the cliffs at the back of the track or do I leave them bald? The most recent patch of grass has some of the new 12mm Noch fibres mixed in to my blend. Really does look better. Much more scruffy and wild. I'll hav...

No fair. The car that I most desperately want at the moment hasn't been made into a slot car. That's not quite true. Apparently it has been done by Protoslot, and as such is way out of my price range, but also no where near as sexy as it should be. Oh, the car in question is an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradal...

All sorted Ted. Goodies are on their way. And yes, service from most of the Australian dealers sucks at best.

Short circuit but nice track.

Interesting race. Do you think Vetterl has grabbed Webber's old car by mistake?
