Su -weeeeet!

Cool model...
Nailed the ride height...
Great color and detailing...

What else is there? :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cool car ebi. Looks great now, will only get better when you finish it off! I like those wheels!

Nice Vette. Green is sharp for it too. nd

ebi this is a VERY nice traditional old school race look you have going on here!!

Yeah that Green realy makes it with those red Meatballs! Love the driver detail as well.

Bob...gotta get back to not slacking and build now...zilla

pair of slimline powered fords.

WOW Alpha.... those look amazing. Great work!

The orange/white Ford is a winner!!!! Go the Fords!!!

Old fords are cool fords!

Both sharp, but the period 5 window is tripping my trigger!

Sweet X2!!!!! I feel another purchase or so coming on!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sweet X2!!!!! I feel another purchase or so coming on!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Just picked up a slimline chassis a couple of weeks ago. Needed it for the body I got from alfaslot a few days before like the #37 body shown in the first picture.

Both of these bodies you have casted up & painted are way cool Greg. WAY --> :cool: The front tires on those rrr steelies give them that extra "BAM" old school look!!

Can't wait to start my very first slimline custom but, have to finish up a bunch of others first. Must..............hurry..........faster....me....n eed....to go.....faster....Zoom, Zoom Baby!

Bob...white is always a good POP color for decals and stripe jobs...zilla

Sweet lookers alfaslot. I know a certain board member who is probably drooling to see a favorite sponsor of his applied on that two tone orange and white one. :devil:

You're probably thinking of the same one. :thumbsup: rr

I recently got some of those reproduction speed steer style rear wheels from ePay member ho-creations. Theyre a lot better quality than the originals since they dont have a tendency to crack, which is nice. But the chroming process leaves a few of the voids between the spokes untouched. Since I usually highlight my wheels with flat black, this just makes my job easier:

These are rear wheels but they have a nice deep dish mag-style look so theyre perfect for mounting all the way around on "sloppy front axle" AW XT chassis and using on your trucks and 4x4s. They'll give those type of bodystyles the right look, and they seem truer than the AW rear wheels. Here are some examples of how they look on some of my XTs. I got a little experimental with the Rams:

They look really good jeeper!!! I just may have to grab a few sets!!! :thumbsup:

They look sharp!!! I like it!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

They don't look bad. Definitely worth working with. Is there a web site? :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Thanks guys! I really liked the look myself. So much so that I pirated all the ones off of my repro pup trailers too since they use the same wheels.

RR, they can be found on ebay. the seller is ho-creations, if you ask him he may have some more up for grabs.

Here are some more pics using these wheels, but this time, I mounted up an XT with a set of the cleanest chrome ones that I didnt paint or change. Looking at them, they look a LOT like a much better executed version of the 5-spoke wheels from Tyco. Gives an idea of how they look on some different trucks:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/slot%20stuff/DSC00233.jpg

They really suit the off road vehicles. Blazer looks great!

yeah, thats the idea, KD. Ive never liked the fat/skinny look of the stock AW setup, and with the original AFXs, many of these had fat tires both front and rear but theyre tough to find.

Tom from Ho Creations is a top notch dealer.
I've done dozens of deals with him, never disappointed.

Hey Grunge,

Nice idea with these rims. It is always nice when you can pull a rabbit out of your hat and change things up. The larger size in the front makes for a real nice upsized truck and jeep look. The way Big Rigs should be...tough!

The Orange Bronco is calling to me. Sweeeeeeeeeeet lookers all around!

Bob...No Wimpy, Wimpy here...zilla

Those are really sharp. The color centers look like some 1:1 examples I've been looking at for my '06 Jeep. Great job :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

They looked great!! I like the way it looks on cj5 jeeps!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Yeah, looks like the Tyco HP7 wheel :thumbsup:

55 is done. More pics on my thread!

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/55done.jpg

Looks super, Dave!!! Love the flame job on it!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

that is one SWEEEEEEEET Chevy!

Nice Job KD.!!!

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

The '55 looks hot, KD! Lovin' it!

Here are pics of some works in progress. First off some US-1 customs:

Cement mixer from my 'painting' thread:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/slot%20stuff/DSC00296.jpg

A semi cab with blacked out 'extra' bodywork making it more realistic. Im thinking of adapting an AW rear frame to the cab for a full tandem axle semitractor:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/slot%20stuff/DSC00301.jpg

This tanker was assembled about a year ago, but i took it back apart, painted it red (even tho it was molded red) and did the blackout treatment on it. In the background is an example of the MB tanker that scavenged the tank from:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/slot%20stuff/DSC00299.jpg

The blue dump truck cab and remnants of the gravel trailer are going to be modeled into a Pac NW style log truck. The 'log' is a dowel rod gouged with my dremel and with a wash of brown paint. Gotta chop up the rest of the dowel for my load. I have a HW stake truck coming, think Ill make a stake truck out of the green dumptruck. The blazer is a tyco with the roof lopped off, the rollcage I mocked up is from a HW early bronco:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/slot%20stuff/DSC00304.jpg

I snagged some of those HW color shifters that are available right now. The custom dodge van has already been stripped of paint, not sure if Ill leave the rest as-is or if Ill strip and paint them too:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/slot%20stuff/DSC00303.jpg

And of course, I have jeeps:

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j71/grungerockjeeper/slot%20stuff/DSC00302.jpg

Yup, those are AFX ansen sprints on that white one.

You have some cool stuff going on there! The white jeep and the Tyco Blazer will look great!

Rockjeep!! You got awesome projects!!! I like them all!! :thumbsup:

I cannot wait to see them done!

Keep posting!!

Wes

This is why I can't find any US 1 trucks... Jeeper's got them all!!! :lol: You have a nice batch of projects grunge.. I like that mixer. There should be room alongside the barrel for the dump chutes to sit too. Looks good!! I really need to start carrying a dud chassis with me when I go to wally world for eyeballing wheel bases. The only one I know will line up with a T jet is the new Toyota land cruiser. So I have to find one of those to match up with potential candidates, and I look rather silly doing that.. Especially when I'm standing there talking to myself.. :tongue: Somewhere around here I have one of those tanks. The base is here. I'm not sure where the rest is. :lol: Painting the extra does help a lot!! I never would have thunk it!! Nice!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

kiwi that 55 is a piece of art! Frame it and hang it on the wall.

grunge you are an over achiever man. Look at all those slot projects. Those are some neat trucks and jeeps you got going on. US 1 trucks are neat to mess around with & love that red tanker done up like that!

Bob...thanks for all the pics guys they are fun to look at...zilla

Looking good so far. Keep on cutting! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

1969 Camaro. More pics in my thread.

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/redcamaro.jpg

I want to go for a ride...outa sight man!

Bob...another fantastic kiwi build...zilla

Dang!!!!! Sideswiped again from the man down under!! Sweetness!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Joez,

Hey man the weather was perfect today for painting so, I did. :)

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz3.jpghttp://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz.jpg

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz1.jpghttp://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz2.jpg

It was a blast to burry these flames in some Testors Boyds High Gloss clearcoat. This is a Bill Hall t-jet body creation that Joez casted up for the HOHT Auction (along with 8 others) way back when. He wanted flames on his so, flames it is.

When you are masking off flames you have to keep moving.
Press the edges down with a toothpick then spray right away to keep the paint from bleeding.

This has been the weirdest and most temprature pleasant summer in Nebraska ever. No humidiy, no paint baking tempratures in the 100 degree marks but, I can live with that. :) Sunny & Mild :)

Bob...Paint is fun!...zilla

Great lookin flame job Zilla! :thumbsup:

That's Hot :cool:

Have been trying to get things done and out of Nebraska to the places they belong...

Marty this is done and will be shipped out soon.
There are a few nice suprises that the pictures don't show. You will see...Go Huskies!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz4.jpg

This Mercury gets to stay in Nebraska at CJs house.
This was a paint job that I did way back when with metal flakes in the roof and color changing paint on the sides.
It just needed some Iron Crosses and a few other decals for a fun low Rat Rod rider.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz8.jpg

Dang don't any of these cars get to leave Nebraska?
This is one Fletcher and I worked on together.
It was totaly his idea to put the Mooneyes insided of the Iron Cross.
Not bad for a brush painted body with 2 dips in Future clear coat.
That's my boy!

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz5.jpg

There are some more in the works to get finished up with just a few more details...coming soon.

Bob...Eat your Jasper Heart out Randy (Fletcher says he's keeping this one)...zilla

Did this one up for Tom Stumpf.
It will be headed you way soon you 55 lover you.

It has been sitting around for a long time.
It took a long time to finaly come up with the perfect "ED" Sethndaddy image for everyone on HT.
Read into it if you want. :rolleyes: hahahahhahahahahaa

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz6.jpg

The Iron Cross decal is an orange one that AMY the fingernail gal made up for me from an image I sent her.
With only one decal layed down on this orange it has that ghost flames look to it.
Double it up and it isn't translucent anymore.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabcatz7.jpg

There was a certain Slot Car online magazine post back a while ago...

That Camel Shadow may well be your greatest theme car yet.

Anybody got any Rolaids, my heart is burning!!! Hey Fletcher, you like video games, you wanna trade for some??? RM

Thanks everyone...will be reading these post to our almost 6 year old Kindergarten son Fletcher soon.
First he told me he wants a chassis under it NOW. lol

Was busy at work today making some 50" x 8" register taps that go on 30" and 22" round spiral pipe duct that will be getting painted up brown for a local Church.
The busier I get at work the more motivated I get to do stuff when getting into the slot cave at home.

This Friday is my belly button surgery and will have 10 consecutive days off before going back to work.
My hopes are that after a couple of days of laying around that I will be able to get some more slot car building time in.
Ginger go to work...kids go to school... :wave: Aaaaaaaaah build time with no interuptions. :hat: Hope this is how it goes!

Joez sent me a HW Hot Rod with flames on it and some flame mask as a guide to how he wanted this yellow & black body done up.
Along with a couple of phone calls also. Joez is a Fantastic HT friend of mine ever since I came to this place & has done some way Cool custom slots for me also...Enjoy it little buddy.

Bob...more to come...zilla
