I like the logo's!!! Truck looks cool!!! Can you buy any type of glossy paper to print on, that has the adhesive back? Thanks, Randy

wow that looks professionally done by a factory! :thumbsup:

Wes

Factory Bob...zilla baby! LOL Thanks for the compliment Wes.

Anyone can do this with an art program and a computer. I just find picks from searches on Google or design them, resize to fit...Bam you got a AFX trailer sticker.

If you want to just get copies of some thing you think would be a good sticker for your layout then you can also just mount a bunch of stuff on an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of standard paper. Take that into a copy store and get copies made on sticky back paper via color copy machine.

I have this old Faller brick pattern sheet that is the perfect candidate to turn into a sticker. Instant bricks for my future buildings. Let your imagination go wild.

Hilltop, I believe you can find glossy at a Office Depot store or simular office supply store.

Wayne on E-Pay also makes great AFX reproduction stickers and I believe they are printed on gloss paper. Waynes stickers are High Quality and when it comes to getting reproduction sticker he is the man to go to. I have bought tons of them from him. Well not tons but, bunches. :)

Jebus that's a nice looking rig Bob. I really like the color coordination. :cool:

Y'all know I make a lot of bodies. But I am kind of new at the customize thing. Here is an attempt on a Ferrari Enzo. Hope you like it.
Helen.
Some of my other bodies. :wave:

Nice work on the Enzo! My first cast of the same car can be seen on my site:

http://routedtrack.hobby-site.com/html/cars.html

It still remains in the same state, although I've made some better casts since :)

Cheers

Richard

I bought a few of these Enzo's from Helen (along with others). I love them (Nice work Helen). Richard, do you sell bodies or just cast for personal use?

Thanks Richard. This was the first die cast conversion I did (about a year or so ago). Taken me that long to get the nerve to try my hand at Customizing my own. I usually just pay other people to paint them for me - LOL.

You did a great job Hellon!!

Hi,

I'm intending to sell them, but being in Australia means a lot of you will pay more to the Postie than to me ... I've also got to get the quality up a bit, they are not up to par yet, and I suspect it just means more practice. But if you're keen, send me a message on my website and I'll see if I can fulfill your requirements:

I just picked up a Ferrari 250LM that I hope to work on this weekend :)

Cheers

Richard

Rich...you need to talk cam into doing those LED cars up and getting them on the bay...

those were very cool...I'd buy a couple for sure... :thumbsup:

I think he *did* sell a couple, but the parts were expensive compared to the price of the car - for those of you wanting to see 'light heaven':

http://neophytte.mine.nu/forum/forum.pl?fid=05&topic_id=1149994830

And the 'disco track':

Cam does some cool stuff :)

He'll probably send a circuit diagram on request ...

Just wondering what the heck this guy is doing on (or around) his work bench when not working on slots...!? :freak:

Otherwise a cool build thread (I was tinkering with LED´s myself a couple years ago)! :thumbsup:

Maybe that downunder wives are more "comprehensive" LOL

You know, that thread has been there for well over a year, and I only noticed it last night when I was posting the link here ...

Maybe the 'secret ingredient' to make the cars go faster??

Heh

Richard

OMG!

LMAO!

No I said rear end lube...not REAR end lube! :p

I am thinking of painting one of my custom slot cars this color...baby blue (see pic for reference color). Is this the correct color for a Gulf car?

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/ahand1.jpg

Bob...zilla

Maybe one of us should see if it works as slot car lubricant too.

Perhaps it was a "slip", and they are on to something revolutionary to the hobby.

In the same pattern of thougnht that Preperation H is great for minor burns and abrasions...maybe KY will keep those gear plates smooth and quiet.

Who'd a thunk it? :freak:

I figured a "finger probe" comment would have got here before I posted one, LOL

O J was here (or at least at Bob's)

Ray

Nice Vette!

You bring miles of smiles to this hobby. :p :thumbsup: nd

Bob! You are nuts!, Funny, but nuts, hey!
I absolutely LOVE your new truck! (too bad there is no room for it ANYWHERE on my layout! LOL) I am surprised that the tractor isn't pink yet. I guess you are not quite commited to the design yet, right? LOL

Great looking truck! :thumbsup:

BOB!! LMAO!!!!!!!

Nice truck!

Wes

The old ad jingles still pop up from time to time.

Since you posted the groovin' Pepto semi ...

I now have "plop plop fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is"...alka seltzer

And...

"You spray it you wipe it and phhhht dirt is gone!"... Spray and Wipe

Curse you Bob. You'll be punished!

Then again it's still better than having the theme song for Gilligans Island or Green Acres playing on a mind-loop.

Oh nooooooo! the Dayo song...sumbudy shoot me!

*Singing*

It's a small world after all...

Sweet Vette!

Did it start as a white body?

Doba,
It began as a white vette with black stripes.

That is cool -- there is one on the FleaBay right now too, maybe I'll BIN and try something similar.

from pickeringtondad (bob) Sethy's new Daytona, complete with extra rare earth magnets and new lighted chassis (yes I know there are no window cutouts, but it has clear glass.

You can dremmel out the lights and fill the holes with Testors window glue. It dries crystal clear. I make windows and headlight lens with the stuff all the time. It works great

I spy. Hey Ed, whats that hiding in the background? :cool:

Is that a glimpse of a car hauler project from a "lack of stakes" bed truck? If so...How the heck did you steal that from my project pile?.... Your probably payin Robi a pack of smokes a week for slot espionage. :rolleyes:

I'm gonna have to frisk her daily and limit her slot cave access to sliding food under the door. ;)

...but seriously. I found that bringing the weight level and forward made for really nice handling hauler that you can whip around the track with abandon.
Ya dont gotta tip toe through the corners. :thumbsup:

Still a ways back in the R&D pile with a crusty corvette taped in place, it looks promising! The old cab over t-jet is a natural...and lord knows there's enough fubared ones out there to work with!

These are a couple of Road Race Replica trucks. The first is Phil's beer truck that I've turned into a Dr. Pepper delivery. And the second is a stake truck that's a little short on hauling space. Both are one of a kind so I guess I can call them customs.

Funny thing is, I always check out peoples backrounds too. It's cool to what else is going on back there.

That stakeless truck is fresh out the box from Cagee.

Nice trucks and heck yah those are customs. Thanks for sharing them. :cool:

I used to drink 5 or 6 Dr. Peppers a day. Now that I am on a diet have completly changed over to 3 Coke Zeros a day. 150 calories vs. "0"...Hmmmm this helped me loose ALOT!

I sometimes sneak something in the background of pics just to see if anyone is paying attention.

I especially check 'Zilla's pics to see if he's cheatin' on his diet. :cool:

Whats the point of all this if ya cant rib yer buds :thumbsup:

Hot rod Lincoln - Last nights carnage.

I good bud of mine showed me a pic of a really cool old school rod the other day... it was a good day! :thumbsup:

I immediatly got the I wannas and started searching for a victim with suitable lines. Among the many culls I recieved for the goop process was a Lincoln that had lost it's way ...and it's lid. I set the ole girl aside and thought, maybe...someday... I believe it came from JJ's donation to the cause.

Fortunately Win 43 had sent me a roof way back when, and yellow as luck would have it. Verts are cool but a mashed and sectioned lid trips my trigger. If ya think she looks rough in the pics ya should have seen it before! Floated and scrubbed'er down with easy off, then 180! scuffed what was left. A rough blocking with my trusty flat file followed.

The bulbous trunk was was the first thing to go...icky! In the first pic you can see the Lola roof that was used to fill the rear deck. Toasted 'er up on my bic and formed the correct curve. Then file fit 'til it fell in the hole.

The chunk was set aside so I could cut out the grill area. It was horribly gerfed. As the original bumper holes extend into the valence the area had to be addressed regardless...so it all went bye bye.

Fairly satisfied with progress the old girl got a quick glaze and the rear chunk was goop bonded and floated. The roof was split N to S and the splice section was sized up and bonded. You may note an intentional crown in the roof. It's a lot easier to build this in early than to try and fudge it in later. This will allow a nice curve to the new roof. The original was quite flat and bugged me during mock up. After some scrounging I settled on a baja bug (of all things!) to donate the windsheild surround. It just had the correct curve and spot on width. It only required a coupla snips and filing to get it close.

So there ya have it. Still rougher than a cob, but from what I can see there may be a car there. Once this mess cures for a few days I'll knock it around with some 320 and get the roof to sit correctly. Once accomplished I'll start playing with some ride height issues. Unfortunately there's not a lot of wiggle room due to the rolled trunk.

Purists may argue that the "Hot Rod Lincoln" was a Model "A" with a Lincoln motor... but so far I think this still qualifies.

Thanks for looking! :wave:

Bill,

That will be great when you get it done. I like it so far, but then again I am about 10 trees high in the wind right now from painting all these little cars. Naw the garage doors are open and plenty of ventilation. Nice ride so far Dude!

Bob...zilla

P.S. My kids are ringing the door bell...stop! Fletcher is answering the door and Bree is pretending to be the Pizza Delivery girl...Want some pizza she says as the door is opened...Yeah but, not on my diet...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! LOL kids are great. :)

Bump!

Since you bumped it; we had a modelling contest here in Perth yesterday, along with our usual racemeet - the subject was a vacuum formed GT40 and you can see the entries here:

Nice looking line up. When are those cars going on a U.S. tour? I have an opening in my gallery.....

Here's few of my resin cars. all HO scale.

Heh - thanks ... but I've got to say Karl has the GT40 down pat (the red, silver and yellow ones are his - they all look very similar), but fortunately for me, he was judging and wasn't able to enter. But thanks for the compliment - as someone else said, the only reason these look good is because you don't see the failures ;)

Nice GT40s Richard,

People that don't make mistakes don't do anything at all. Failures is such an ICKY word to me. I like to call them practice cars.

My Pine Sol Jar always has a body or two in it. Strip em' dpwm and repaint baby! Well not Lexan I guess.....
