Re: 2012 Underway
Very cool. I see you got some of the shine out of your wife's car. Was that due to work or just the photo? It now has the look of an old 40's-50's wooden toy. Very nice! Noskills (Seth) I think the first picture looked shiny due to the flash, but a light coat of paint helped with the matte effect. ...

Re: 2012 Underway
So the derby went well. Much better this year with our brand new Best Track and Champ scoring system. We had a wooden tack previously with the Judge scoring, but this took the derby to a whole new level. My Webelo was undefeated the entire day and will be going to district. His top time on a 32' bes...

Re: 2012 Underway
The red car looks like something that might have been used in the [censored] Tracy movie, and the black one looks like a cruise missile. :) We actualy made a missile for our space derby this year. http://i40.tinypic.com/30cc614.jpg And a torpedo (which one pack) http://i43.tinypic.com/sewva1.jpg

Re: 2012 Underway
I like the Delahaye 135 idea. I think I'll make one for next year. Thanks for the idea!

Re: 2012 Underway
Thanks for the welcome! It's been about a year since I wwas here last. The paint is Krylon Satin Burgundy. I wanted to just keep it in gray primer, but since the wifes name is on the title, I went with the closest I could get to burgundy primer. It is still too shiny for me, though. I need to lay do...

Re: 2012 Underway

Re: 2011 Construction Underway
I would guess that there may have been an issue with rear-wheel alignment . Unfortunately, with the fenders, direct inspection of the rear wheel behavior would be difficult. Trial-and-error on a test track is another approach. Wow. That just killed a half hour (and a few brian cells!). That is some...
