If you are enjoying the many articles and video shows we make buy us a Cup of Coffee. This helps keep our doors open and the many videos about “How to Make Things” coming. The studio is pretty much non profit and a lot of support comes from people like you.

And here’s that link to “By me a coffee”: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/SNGStudio

Thanks as always to our many supporters!

Mary and I had a great time driving up to Ojai early this morning in the 300zx to the Cars and Coffee event.

Here’s some pictures I took and a video will be posted soon showing more.

A bit more done. Actually I added many more fiber optics and I still have plenty to go still. A lot of them will be trimmed flush with the hull after I finish the final paint job.

The car is coming along well too but do take the time to watch booth short videos in these builds that explain more in detail the processes here. They are on the home page just scroll down.

Plugging along with this build and enjoying it very much!

Finally I got to light up the engines on the star Destroyer. Thanks Randy Nuebert and VooDoo effects!The soft blue lights really do the trick.

I also got a little more done on the car sorting out how I’ll do the exhaust and I started the wind screen to vacuum form the wind screen itself.

John Warren made up my tires, aluminium wheels, and resin minilite wheel inserts and they look awesome. They will take a while to get here as John is in New Zealand but well worth the wait! His work is excellent!
It was a good day. I plan another one today!

And here’s part 3 of the Star Destroyer build. A short 4 minute video of the latest progress.

I’ll be talking about my career, telling stories, answering questions and yes talking about slot cars and if I can get this to work on my pad or phone I’ll be showing you around the shop.

Thanks to Randy Nuebert of VooDoo FX’s I have everything I need to finish lighting this Star Destroyer.
I got a lot more fiber optics installed yesterday. Today I’m doing more top and bottom and installing the engine lights.

The 1/32 Cooper is coming along well. I did a test body and painted it Royale blue as I’m getting a bit tired of BRG. This tells me how much work still needs to be done on the body master before I make the final mold for production.
I worked on the test frame some more. As it turns out the front axles are not dead center of the body openings but rather forward of center and closer to the nose. I moved it for an accurate fit.

All it needs is the intake cover for the carburetors. And I’m good to go. The body came out great.

John Warren from New Zealand I made contact with again and this fine modeler makes tires, rims, and inserts for 1/32 scale slot cars. He has exactly the parts I need to make my cars accurate to the full sized car. He is currently making the parts for me. Here’s some picture of his work and parts he makes. He also is building a Cooper seen here with the blank body and the accurate parts and tires he makes.

Still I have the windscreen, intake cover and exhaust to make. All these parts will be molded in silicone and produced in resin. Lots to do still.
