Re: Indiana Jones and the Derby Challenge
The paint we used is Krylon "Make it stone texture paint". Shake for about 10 seconds, and then spray on like a normal spray paint. It splatters a bit more than regular spray paint, but took my son very few passes to cover the car. Dries in about 30 minutes. We applied two coats. I then go...

Re: New York Jet Paint Job
The decals are just jpgs I pulled from internet and downsized in photoshop. Printed on laser printer on white paper. Cut with razor blade. We used glossy mod podge to apply, and then hit with some gloss lacquer as overcoat. Good luck to the Steelers... I'll still root for AFC.

I was running short on time to build a car for my daughter because of the time spent with my son on his car. Promises a parent must keep. So, I picked up a car at a h...

Luigi Wild Wing Racer from Mario Kart
My son and I built this racer for our Pinewood derby race last week which we are very proud of. It's the Luigi Mario Kart wild wing racer. I've included a couple photos of our creation. It was our first racer, and we made plenty of mistakes along the way. However, we were happy with our final result...

Re: Mario Kart Wild Wing & a Hungry Hippo
I love your wildwing. I wish I had discovered your site before we started. You are obviously a skilled craftsman. My son and I also did our version of a wildwing, and I thought I'd share it with you. We put in a lot of hours. Attached are a few photos we did of our Luigi Wildwing: http://www.angelfi...
