bob - thats one bad a$$ looking nomad!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

RC your 57 Nomad just needs a clear coat of Future to finish it off. I put red tires on the back just for the people who like to post that tires are supposed to be black...lol

Joez there is a Mullet Beer Dune Buggy ready for decals and paint detail next.

Wes is getting a Hurst Charger that is going to be painted gold & white with some black trim. I got my Hot Rod Magazine and the New 1/1 scale Challenger is getting a Hurst Package available for $10,000 to $20,000 added to the price tag depending on what options you get.

rr is getting the 2009 Concept Camaro by Hellonwheels painted up with Transparent Orange with a gold base coat.

There was a small pin hole on the lower rocker panel that I just gooped up from the inside (easy fix) to give this spot the same strength as the rest of the body.

The Lola will get to stay here and is getting the Jasper Powered yellow and red 2 tone paint job like Hilltops.

Just finished up the sanding and body prep on the Trick Truck by Bruce Gavins and the Dodge Little Red Wagon also by Bruce. Wes is getting these also...Lucky!

Both Hellen and Bruce clayed up the windows so that the flashing mold lines would be on the inside. This is a real Plus++++++++ This is done by pushing the clay on the windows to the inside edge. :) I use a small rounded brush end to do this and a tooth pick. Detail, detail, detail...when you are making a mold a little more time spent here will mean less time trimming when you demold and trim.

Also when claying up the wheel wells the same process can be used. Push the clay to the inside in the wheel wells and also the whole bottom edge to the inside edge.

The Heater is on in the garage and my hairdryer is plugged in...just hope the TM doesn't want anything done...doh! I think she mentioned showers for the kids and Home Work for Bree. Man she is in 1rst grade....oh geeeepers...give me a break pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! :rolleyes:

Bob...I hope I can...sneak....down stairs some more tonight...zilla

thats one sweet looking nomad!! i like the colors and stripes!! :thumbsup:

Wes

While awaiting the finalized 46 Ford, we get hit with not one, but 6 projects in the wings!!! You gonna need a 2 hour time slot to cover all those new jobs!!! 57 Chebby is looking super sweet!! You definately have a knack for picking the right decals for the project, and them big ones are a real treat to apply!! Suder duper job putting them flames on!!! They are right on the money!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

UtherJoe


P.S., Tires are supposed to be black.... :tongue:

Busy Busy Busy Bob...the list grows longer...zilla. I see you gotta em lined up. Kewl Nomad, except for the red tires, whoever heard of red tires, lol??? The only red streaks I've seen layed down, was from transmision fluid :p. I like those Testor's turn signal colors, especially the red, looks almost like candy. Get busy on the Jasper Lola, team leader. How about a # 3...RM

Nomad'er what, Bobzilla always puts out a killer kuztom. http://photos.hobbytalk.com/data/500/rofl.gif

Thanks guys!

Well a few hours later, 2 TAB sodas, some smokes and they are all Phssssssssssssssssshted now.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aanomadd8.jpg

Didn't get downstairs tonight because, Lola decided she wanted to get a Pine Sol treatment and a fresh coat of YELLOW. :) Randy #3 works for me but, they may be red ones....no wait threes...doh! Going to let this one dry for a while as I still have to mask it off and paint the red. It is starting to come out of my mind and onto plastic finally. :woohoo:

Painting the Little Red Wagon was so much fun. Candy Apple Red just goes on like Magic and looks so dang HOT! Did I mention Red is my favorite color? I see a green Godzilla version of this being made. I know that one of the Mead Brothers makes some Godzilla decals and need to get my little claws on a set or two or three...etc..

The Camaro in Transparent Orange for rr had the same Magical feeling when the orange got Phsssssssssssshted over the gold base coat. This has Bowtie written all over it!!!!!!!!!!!! Candy colors are fun to paint! Oooooh so much fun! :hat:

The Sub Lime Trick Truck gave me no problems & that is a good thing.

The Charger which got a bath of Gamma Gold first then, a spray of White over the top and then hit the sides again with Gamma Gold and misted the white with gold. This one had a little thought put into it as it will be getting the Hurst Stripe and detail treatment. Once the stripes get laid down on her it should all make sense.

Still waiting to win the Lottery. I would have a Mobile Home set up just for making slot cars on the road and come visit you all. How cool would that be to have a slot car track set up in a Mobil Home done up like RCs Nomad? Make the Mobile Home a huge Nomad with gigantic slicks in back and front...yeah baby! Those would be some big Headers!!!!!!!

Time to hit the hay now...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bob...I dream slot cars...zilla

sweet paint jobs man!!!

mobile home is a GREAT IDEA!!!!! or semi truck trailer?? or a greyhound bus!!!

Wes

Where to start - heck man, I like them all! I especially like the Sand Vans because they remind me of a childhood cartoon show - Hong Kong Phooey! You've gotta do one of those up if you have any more Sand Van's left!

The Nomad definitely came out great looking Bob! And like everyone else, can't wait to see what the '46 looks like!

Sweet slot dreams!
PD2:thumbsup:

I still don't know how you do it Bob, all those little details like you do. You da' man !
Nomad looks sharp but I like those red tires. Remember red streaks ? LOL Others look great too

A few weeks ago I was watching the History Channel's documentary on the real "Dracula" AKA Vlad the Impaler... Maybe I just haven't gotten enough coffee in me yet, but this photo certainly reminds me of that show. Perhaps I should refrain from posting comments until after my third cup....:freak:


http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aanomadd8.jpg


The Bob...I can make a rainbow of slotcars on stakes..Zilla road show Nomad tour bus sounds like an awesome idea!!! CJ and I can take turns being your drivers, as you travel the country, freeing you up from all that driving time to snip. chop, gouge and psssssst. :thumbsup:

The Charger sound like an instant winner, as the Hurst cars always were with me. I've got 3 JL hurst Olds...Hmmm, I wonder where they went to??? The Hong Kong Phooey sand van is a great idea!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looking at that pic reminds me of going to the store and picking out your favorite lolipop!!! Can I have one of each, please, please, I'll be good!!! 2 hours, that's some blow and go paint work Bob...production painter...zilla!!! RM

WOW Great looking stuff Bob. Sweet looking Nomad. I never liked the Sand Vans til you started repainting them. Can't wait to see those impaled projects brought to life.

Where do you get all the energy, Bob, you're wearing me out just reading about all the GREAT builds from the Nomad to the upcoming #3 - #8 Earnhardt connection to the Fabulous Canuck Sand Van (Thanks).
The 46 looks Awesome whether you have a driver or NOT- what a paint job! They all look great and can not wait until you get your Prevost Bus with the pop out 4-lane landscaped track while visions of slot cars danced in his head ... zzzz ..Zilla!
:thumbsup: ..RL

Stunning, Bob! That is some real beautiful work!

You are entirely too good to/for us!

all that paint...all those colors...SWEET! :thumbsup:

Hey Bob,
I couldn't help but notice the your nomad looks alot like this..............

http://www.smartphones.com/screensavers/MO_2A_S2wm.gif

Are you trying to tell us something? like, go Missouri?

Rich..by the way that nomad look crazy good....I'm no Zilla:hat:

UtherJoe

I'll bet all the other slot cars in the room are terrified when this happens!:woohoo:

Rich:p

Thanks guys but, the picture doesn't show these very well at all so, you are just going to have to stay tuned for more as these get whipped out one by one after the paint dries.

There is a list of slot car builds in black Sharpie ink with little check mark boxes next to them on one of the Dumpsters at my work. Cars get checked off and cars get added. With the cold weather moving in to Nebraska my painting is going to stop for several months now. (STOP)

PD2 & UtherJoez you tempt me with your very Kool idea of Hong Kong Phoooey Dune Buggy but, I ....must....resist....no.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ah!

It is time to have some fun detailing the Phsssssssssssssssshed slot projects (there are more, lots more) in the downstairs work space now. Also want to start casting some stuff up & have patiently been waiting for cold weather to cast up some bodies and parts that are as of now just an idea in my brain.

Fear not Batcave dwellers as I have not forgotten about the Bat Lola! It will get shoved in here between things.

Well I am getting ready to go and have some fun with Mr no head, slumped over man now. He has his mounting post and is painted in gray primer. I wish Ed was here to help with the blood splatter. :freak:

Rich, Missouri Go Big Gold & Black... no it wasn't my intention but, it does have that look. Black and Gold were my High School colors also...Go Burke Bulldogs fight for the black and gold.

XracerHO, Just got my Energy back from being surrounded by all these Sick-O people in Nebraska. Was sleeping a lot after getting home from work and had no energy to work on slots. That drove me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry wait till you see (HEY wait a min. there is a Hooters add blinking to my right saying something about Hooters in Las Vegas...must finish this...looking away...oh man they are HUGE!...must look away now)...what was I saying? Something about a new Dune Buggy design that is half done or half finished and sitting on the side line for now.

Randy, Not 2 hours.................a few hours. If you add in the prep time for the bodies then you can add on a few more hours but, you are right about production painting as I was on a mission to Phsssssssssssssssh!

Wes you think you know but, you have no idea...LOL just you wait.:lol:

Joez it is time for Mullet Beer to make a re-appearance as it has been way to long and don't worry that roadster will get done on a sunny day...just keep waiting...hahahhahhahhahaha(seriously we have some nice Winter days in Nebraska).

Hope I didn't forget anyone as this time slot is over. Gotta go now...bye.

Bob...thinking headless guy L:D:DKS like the bright flowered shirt type...Zilla

This Convertible is going to get Futured and then mailed to Ed with my Christmas Gift Exchange car and a few other things also. Looks a lot different now huh Ed? Heck he just wanted a paint job. hahahaha

Just a note that Ed has supplied Fletcher and I with many very Kewl Munsters and this is my way of saying thanks a lot!! Fletcher enjoys his Horror Clix as much as Seth does & has them placed all over our track layout in the basement.

UtherJoe thanks for the Gnome idea and everyone else for pushing me towards this headless dude. Was just kidding about the flowered shirt...what you think I am anyways...prissy....lol

Man that was fun!! Next..............................................

Bob...Using my imagination here and am not a violent person...zilla

That is sooooooo far over the top Bob -- You have outdone even yourself this time :eek:

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

OK - first, don't resist the temptation of doing a Hong Kong Phooey buggy - you know you want to! :p Do it!

Second, the '46 came out great Bob! I'm not a big horror flick guy, but I have to say that it worked out GREAT! Like I said, its a horror movie on wheels! Freakin awesome bro!!

Finally, what are you planning on casting? Anything special?

Thanks for sharing what you do the only way you do it!
PD2:thumbsup:

In a good way, of course!!! The 46 came out nothing short of PERFECT!!! The whole story is there, complete and a fun read. Gnomey is offing the chaperones, one down, one to go!!! Wicked cool custom, incredible workmanship, and group participation to boot!!! This was way too much fun!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::woohoo:

UtherJoe

Oh Bobbby, that is way awesome lol....gonna laugh at that one all day....


Coach!

Bob,
That turned out WAY cool!!!! Be sure and ship it in a plastic bag, the post office may get suspicious if headless dude starts to soak through!

Rich

Truly a wonder of slot art!

Fan damm tabulous Bob!

That's what can happen when you pick up hitchhikers. :eek:

Great job Bob! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Super cool Bob, a definate "Showcase" car. Now I need to get space on my work desk and get a partner for it.

That's what can happen when you pick up hitchhikers. :eek:

Great job Bob! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: rr



Yeah, but they had MGD!:cry:........ :D


Very cool, Bob...scary...zilla!
It is hard to look at....and hard to look away from.......I close my eyes and I can still see it......
I will never look at hitch-hikers the same again! LOL

Great work, Bob! Fabulous EXECUTION! HAR!

All right, you got a full plate.. maybe not as full as Jane Cleaver's (the blondie in the back seat) but you're a busy guy. I just figured I could throw yet another "buggy" idea at you and give you something else to dream about other than Karate canines... Do you remember?????


http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/slotcarman12078/62ed3ae5.jpg


No Saturday morning cartoon fest would be complete without Speedbuggy!! I forgot all about those great Saturday morning toons, especially..what was it ..'73 that the watergate hearings were telecasted and all the "good" TV channels were taken over by the televised hearings?? Stuck after school watching sesame street and Mr. Rogers neighborhood cause that was the only non watergate channel on TV. This would be ok for, uhhh, a 5 year old, but I was like 12. Speed Buggy would be a simple two tone paint, and a couple oversized "moon eyes" in the head lights. Maybe a whip antenna on the back.... Isn't that shaggy's brother driving??? Just food for thought!!

YES!!! Speed Buggy!! I almost forgot about that one! Good call UtherJoe!! I loved that show! I think that would be awesome build too! I want both - Hong Kong and Speed! Too many good ones to decide!

Great call bro!

Wow, Bob! Looks awsome-o! Thanks a bunch!:woohoo::wave:

RC,

You are very welcome my friend. :)

XracerHO,

Here are the pics of the almost done Canadian II Sandy Van. My interpretation of this build is that this is a talent Scout for the Canadian Skulls Hockey team just buggy-ing around town.

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aanomadd12.jpg

http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aanomadd13.jpg

Did some heavy EX-Acto knife slice & dice to get this Homie out of his Pillow and into this Dune Buggy. Just need to goop the head in from the bottom & also the C-cab then hit this with some Future.

You can only look at Purple and Orange Sand Vans for soooooo long....:eek:

Bob...Another one bites the Dust-Aaaaah...zilla

BOB, Nice job as always !

But they have NOT won a Stanley Cup in over 25 years!!!

Bob, the Van looks GREAT & like what you did with the rims! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Being Canadian, we have our Thanksgiving a month earlier, so today, I get to enjoy the Macy's Parade and NFL football all day on your celebration. So Happy Thanksgiving Bob & to all the other American HT members.

Thanks again, ..RL

But they have NOT won a Stanley Cup in over 25 years!!!

I love the part when Hank is running naked down the street and his Wife drives up with all her friends....hahhahahahaha:lol:

Need to look around for something that will work as a Keg for next to the rear spare tire.



Bob...Hank the Tank was just an obvious choice...zilla

Hey how about a cheap hippy bead off an old necklace painted silver for a keg? :confused: Just thinking out loud again.

bobzilla!! those two buggys are awesome!! you been busy busy!!!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Holy Hannah, Bob!

What a great looking buggy!
The yellow 4dots are a real nice touch too, hey!

Doba gave me an idea as for the mental shape of this thing and size but, then a click entered my brain *CLICK* and suddenly a use for one of the Stop Police barrels has been found. :)

After reading these post I went right to work. Dremeled and X-Acto-ed out the rear tire and Mr Belt Sander sized the keg in half. Now it is sitting in Silver downstairs! :hat::freak: Oooooooooh yeah Party like a Rock Star baby!

Going to put up some Christmas lights right now and will post this up when it gets finished...silver dries fast!

Bob...Drink Responsibly...zilla

Awesome job yet again Mr.Z!!! I sure hope this creative wave you're riding on lasts a long, long time!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Back to back winner sand vans!!!! What could possibly be next???

Uther...surfs up, dude...Joe

Well back to back to back to back to back....Um that is a hint.

Why does it take twice as long to put the lights on when your Wife helps you? Aaaaaaaaaaaaah nevermind. :cry:

The keg has been gooped into place. "NOW" it just needs a Future clear coat....Ta Dah

Bob...Mike Myers said he wanted a buggy next...zilla

Looking gooood Bob...Don't Drink And Drive...zilla!!! That trash can made a great keg. "Tank" looks kewl and right at home driving that bad boy, nice choice...RM

DANG BOB !!!!! Cool looking Mulletmobiles.........

Tank needs a hose running from the keg to his mouth...

Was thinking the same thing. Mock up the tap, add a line and place it within arm's reach. Looks great Bob.. Sand Van Man...Zilla! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Bob "I sit at home all day and play with toy cars all day cuz i'm rich" zilla

Tank needs a hose running from the keg to his mouth...
You took the words right off my finger tips..lol...


Dave

While the tap and hose would be interesting, I think there is one thing that would complete the picture... Not that it isn't awesome as is... But wouldn't a slightly oversized mullet beer bar tap shifter be the clincher to bring it to absolute perfection?? Sorry, was I thinking that out loud?? :eek: Looks great Zilly!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

UtherJoe

Tank needs a hose running from the keg to his mouth...

This would do the trick...
