Monday was great. We new tires for the daily car(remember I had a blowout on the freeway Saturday. No fun there). Mary got our taxes done. And I got all the lighting installed in the Battlestar and I’m on my way to completing the model and starting 2 more.
I pulled a very nice casting of the Chameleon out of the mold that I’ll paint this week after it dries out a couple of days.
When I got home I did some more work on my 1/24 scale scratch build slot car for the upcoming races in May. This class of racing being DM3 you have to make the car from scratch with the exception of the body. You use modified kits. However I suppose if you wanted to you could scratch build that two as lone as it was hard body resin.
The entire frame is made of brass and piano wire. Everything has to be hand measured, marked, scribed, and hand cut with a dremel and a cutoff wheel. Then you have to solder it all together. Sounds easy enough but it’s not. But I am getting there and getting there well.
