Godzilla has some new Friends on my layout!

[slotcarman12078]

Glad to see progress on Las Zillas finally!!! I likes them big swoopy curves!! I bet it's a blast to run on!! That dam ought to fit right into the puzzle perfectly too!!!! I can still envision Wile E. chasing the roadrunner all over it. Maybe a Acme rocket powered car, and a road runner attached by a wire to the front because Wile E always gets close to catching him.... Way to go Ed and Yankee keeping Bob... gotta finish now.... zilla motivated!! I'm gonna throw an offer out here too. I have a Burger King doing nothing but collecting dust right now, Bob. It's kind of a space eater (by the time you add the parking lot) and had no room for it on my table. I don't see it fitting into the plans for my next set up either. Say the word and I'll get it boxed up..



All this dam and yankee got me thinking.. will the track be high enough???

Bob- Great looking layout. Can't wait for the area 51 invasion. That Dam will look awesome. I've got leftover plaster cloth from my rebuild if you want it.

Jim,

There are going to be many Aliens in area 51 & will even be catering to their needs of special space ship fuel at the local gas station. Just had an idea for adding NOS to a space ship to see what will happen.........Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooosh

Yankee,

I had a blast talking to you about slot car layouts and exchanging ideas with you on the phone this past weekend (will be adding a S.W.A.T. Team to my layout now).

Yankee also sent me a link that ended up in a VERY KEWL purchase of a little suprise to come. Las Vegas baby!!!!!!!!!!! Ginger will be in Las Vegas without me and the kids this weekend for a fun & much deserved get away.

Rich,

Rock on man...I love a good concert!

demether,

Uuuum I will never get this layout done If I have to paint the track. Well that is unless you come over to our house and help. Do you have a fast BOAT?

AfxToo,

I went on the Damn tour and didn't get a Damn hardhat. ...Lucky! Who's pillow do you have to fluf to get one of dem Hardy Haties any ways? I saw a couple of Tourist with the hardhats on there one time and they reminded me of the movie Godzilla bigtime. I love it when Godzilla rips down the power lines and Steve Martin (that is the anouncers name in the movie, not the comedian Steve Martin) says that he is saying a prayer for the whole world. This is Steve Martin signing off. Doomsday baby....there goes Tokyo......GO, GO, GO Godzilla!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah UJoe,

The Damn is going to fit in with the help of my little friend Makita Jig Saw...Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz The table is supported by one of those tables that has metal folding legs that lock. If I am lucky I wont have to move the legs out of the way. Yankee has given me the 24" X 24" measurments for the corner space required. So I will be marking that space with some red paint on my table. This will help plan the rest of my layout that is moving in that direction & for Demolition purposes.

The last several days have been spent converting a used 7-Eleven ho building into a TEXACO gas station. Will be adding on the work bays and a car wash. Also the pumps will have to be hand made to get the 70s & 80s themed look along with the large roof cover over the pumps. Will be posting picks soon....or a little bit after soon (later).

Have been searching E-Bay for TEXACO images to print and am having a blast with this project.

Ordered 80 palm trees from that one seller who sells ho painted people in bulk earlier tonight. O.K. enough spending for about 6 months now.....Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Bob...Have some ideas for my HTERS Restraunt...zilla

[WesJY]

Dang !! You have been busy!!! I like what you did so far!

I snagged these pics off the interweb somewhere a while back . . . maybe you can scavenge a few ideas:

[yankee_3b]

[bobhch]

Bigger is better....Gingers Hooters are in Las Vegas right now as she just called after landing....Lucky! Harvest time in Gretna, Nebraska has been messing up my Alergies Big Time. Never fear I will keep building if I have to crawl on my knees...cough, cough...oh dang (it could be worse but, have been trying to sleep this thing off right now).

I have so many fun ideas and am having fun with my TEXACO gas station right now. It will be serving some very interesting customers from Area 51. Space Fuel, UFO parking & more....we got it. lol ( We come in peace...Now take us to your Nachos & Cheese )

Bob...Coach I think our keyboard just shorted out...zilla

[bobhch]

This is the Image I found on the ".net" for a nice TEXACO sign. It used to say RACING instead of Service Station. It is mounted on black plastic sheeting and the tube supports are drying right now. The images actualy print out better than this image here shows.

..........

Will be posting up the VISITORS fueling station sign image in just a bit. These signs are printed on sticky back paper for ease of instalation. Bam baby!

Also I am using some real thin Craft double sided tape (found at Wally World for $3.50 a roll with a transparent red film on it in the Sewing dept.) to hold some of the light parts together on smooth clean surfaces.

Going to try and make the Area 51 on the outskirts of Las Vegas as believable as possible with signs and quality space craft. As you all have seen on T.V. & the Movies a Space Craft can be the size of a car all the way up to HUGE covering a whole city. Just makes it easy to scale...thanks Movie people.

My plans are to cast some Matchbox space craft I have and eventualy design a War of the Worlds type to cast up. They make models of War of the World spaceships already but, I want to scale mine down to 4 to 6 passenger size like cars as not to POW them up to much. Oooh there will be a few MOTHER SHIPS as Bill Hall (what a guy) has alread sent me a Chrome blinking one a while back that is going to fit in here in Las Zillas Speedway just perfectly.

Bob...didn't think building buildings could be this much fun...zilla

[bobhch]

Let the Fueling begin...



This was printed out on white sticky back paper also and placed on the rain cover roof over the car gas pumps for Alien landing and fueling.

Bob...now I need to make the Fuel Price sign...zilla

[DesertSlot]

Great work Bob!

[bobhch]

Thanks DesertSlot.

Here is the sign made up now. The picture shows it just a tad larger than it realy is.



The prices are from mid 80s (this will be about the time frame for my layout but, the 70s are going to be included as well) and decided to Stick it to the ALIENS for now.

Bob...who wants warm beer anyways...zilla

[CJ53]

Uh,, Bob...
you need the big eyed "silvers" for the fueling crew, Fire proof skin,, and big eyes for cleaning the space dust and earthly bugs off the windows of the craft..

C zilla has lost his mind J

CJ,

Am working on a Car & Space Craft Wash right now that will be attatche to the gas station building.



Yeah Big Eyed Aliens are going on the roof cover of the pumps for a space saving Area 51 fueling dock. More customers in the same amount of space. This is going to make me Rich....Rich...Rich...$$$$$ Well only in my ho dreams.

Only thing is that space ships don't need tires but, we are an authorized Area 51 space vehicle shop which helps bring in the Dough, Ray, Me ( money for you slower folks ). We are having a Special this week on Hyperdrive and Hydrolic Thruster rebuilds. Get both and you get a free call home.....that was to ET to pass up.

Don't Drink and Drive or Fly. Adds a whole new demension to DWI or FWI. Although they probably just transport "Beer and Spirits" and stay home to watch the game.

Alien I , "Scotty beam me up some Jim Beam"...hahahahaha

Alien II , "That wasn't funny the first 20 times you told that joke...oh man"

Bob...car and space craft work bays will be next...zilla

[bobhch]

Working on the Car Wash... working on the Car Wash Yeah...Sometimes the Boss even lets you act the fool at the Car Wash Yeah! *sing it baby!*



Will be making a custom "Car & Space Craft Wash" sign to go on that large red overhang on my computer program soon. Going to make a Free Air sign also and have a hose in front of the station. (paying for air is a rip off...)

Next the Garage Service bays, some tires for sale laying around & need to make some gas pumps.

Bob...fill up and you don't have to pay...zilla
