Someone here described monokote as "frustration you can buy by the roll". Very appropriate.

Yep, that was me. I did finally get it to go on nice. I used a clothes iron, a thin towel, a heat gun, and several words not fit to print!

That is a very nice looking car LB!

If someone will make me a body just like this, I'll buy!
No wheels, no covering, no weight, just the wood body.
If yes, send me a PM with approx $'s.

There you go Lightning Boy, you've got the touch. It hasn't even ran yet and you already have a buyer. Some people can sell anything. /images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif

Ha! Normally, I can't sell free food to the starving.

Ya! That's me too.

I printed the shipping label and will send via Fed Ex in the morning.

This one I will call "Claudia".

Not because it reminds me of my friend and confidante for 20 years, but because she deserves a piece named after her. She really earned it.

Hopefully I will one day produce a car that more embodies "Claudia-ness" but there is no time to waste!

 

[Guest]

Am I a proud papa or what?

 

[down4derby]

She looks ready to attack. Nice job!

 

[Bullet]

OK...got my photobucket working again.

Here's a picture of my first and brand new stable (5 of 6 are new) for nationals and the next league series hopefully, if they perform at all. There were turned out fairly quickly and I'm not totally satisfied with all of them, but they will be racing so I'm in the game! I have a couple favorites in the bunch...

Looking good! I have a problem getting 3 done let alone 5 or 6! I like the Hot Load, I called it burn through at first till I zoomed in! I like those silver stripes, is it Pin stripping tape?

Am I a proud papa or what?

She's got some smooth lines!!! It that her normal resting place? (on a bed spread) /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

 

[Bullet]

Thx Iceman, yes, the silver is thin pinstripe tape.

I don't have the patience or time for paint, cant resist touching it before its dry! I went with Monokote and striping tape. lol

That car looks ripping fast Joe!

 

[GravityX]

Nice looking fleet of cars Bullet! Is that a Minecraft sword I see there?

 

[GravityX]

Joe, the picture of this car really messes with my eyes.

Thanks BR.

I thought it looked more like it got run over by a truck.

On this one, I think I brought things together though.

It just might be quick.

It is entered in Pro so we will see. Sorry Pro's

Thanks Paul,

This one is a bit freaky looking, so that is always an obvious plus.

I am trying to get away from cars now, and think of them more like kinetic sculptures.

This is where I started with my thought process, so I am happy to be back there as I was a bit stuck in the conventional paradigm that I slipped into.

I like the one on the left

 

[Bullet]

GX, yes that IS a Minecraft diamond blade, my son insisted on something for minecraft and associated name. That is the only car that has raced previously, it took third in SS Am in the May race.

Also, thx Laserman, that was one was supposed to be a "sporty" look. /images/boards/smilies/wink.gif

 

[Kinser Racing]

Here's the only one I'm going to show. /images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif
