Re: Odd Scalextric Mustang Observation!

Funny enough...I just looked and my front bumper is upside down as well! In addition, I noticed the "holder" that screws down over the guide spring is not present, and the holes are not threaded as they would be had a screw ever been run into them. I think what we have here is an example o...

Re: How to build a resin kit

I still can't believe it even looks that good!

Re: Odd Scalextric Mustang Observation!

So, it seems we have some quality issues at Scalextric. Bummer. The car is really nice, and now that I've fixed the guide, re-soldered the wire, and flipped the bumper, it is just about perfect. I'm wondering if this is a new chassis mold. Has anyone else noticed a rough texture to the plastic on th...

Re: How to build a resin kit

I use a few different ones...whatever is handy.

I use Squadron putty, or Automotive red spot filler and my favorite is CA glue and microglass bubbles or CA glue and baking soda. Works fabulous!

Re: How to build a resin kit

For holes: Make sure the edges are firm with no loose flashing and tiny bits. Fill half the hole with CA glue and then put a generous pinch of baking soda over the hole...dust it off and do it again till you are just over the surface of the part or body. Sand it even with the part or body. Cracks an...

Re: Odd Scalextric Mustang Observation!

Rob, looks just like that - not painted. Hey! Your bumper is the right way too LOL!

Were your wires soldered or clipped on?

Re: New Project WIP - 1970 Javelin Transam Team

One of the WORST resin cars I've ever seen, no kidding. It took me a month to get mine to look as good as yours Greg. I think I probably said more words working on that thing than almost any other large scale car I've ever done.

Yours is looking great though!

Re: How to build a resin kit

Greg, I've had worse! (In my best Knight voice!) Hot glue the body to a wooden board. I'd glue an appropriate sized block to the board that goes under the hood and roof to put it back to the right height. Run a hair dryer over it carefully and then let it sit for a few days/weeks depending on the tw...

Re: Fly stub axles

Another method is what I've done: use the Fly front wheels if they are in good, round shape and put a 3/32 axle through the stock location mounts. I usually don't sleeve mine and they've all lasted fine. Use SCC insert wheels on the back and cut the original back wheels down to use as inserts for th...

Re: Odd Scalextric Mustang Observation!

A friend just emailed me from Austrailia - he got one online from the UK and his is EXACTLY the way mine came: White 1.5"x1.5" sticker with the model number on one side of the case "sealing" across the opening, pebble texture, bumper upside down, unpainted front valance, guide fa...

Re: Smoky Hills Raceway

Fred - The track is excellent and I'm glad you shared the construction photos! I was wondering how you did the stone walls. Are those store-purchased or did you mold and cast those yourself?

Re: Minnesota Slot Cars

That was an awesome video! Really shows the track well and I love the entire racing footage!

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw one of my Ferrari 612p kits running! Awesome to see that!

Re: Race the Ridge SCC

Good looking track and man! That is huge!

Love the FF cars...are those the ones cast by the versatile and handsome Dan Dyke?

Re: Palmer Divide Raceway Update!

Kurt - I don't think it would stick. However, just painting the concrete and doing an easy background like this works fine.

Re: How to build a resin kit

Glad to be of some service. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

And John, you are correct...pre-paint cleaning prep is absolutely important!
