The Jeep was 2013, C-130 was 2014, the deuce and a half was 2016, and the PBY was this year.

Jordan's Project / Re: Jordan's Projects
Last post by J Luke - October 08, 2024, 02:13:44 AMThis was the first of my elaborate derby cars. I found the plans online. The whole jeep is made from the original pinewood derby block. I added more details like the plexiglass windshield, a steering wheel, gear shifter, a jerry can on the back, a rolled up blanket/tarp, and a duffel bag (hiding a lead weight). The wheels were found at a hobby store to look more authentic than the big plastic ones. I had more photos of the process saved on Photobucket, but since they switched to requiring paid subscriptions, I lost them all. Rats...
I had a lot of fun doing the weathering on this one.

Last post by J Luke - October 08, 2024, 02:05:20 AMHello again! Here is another pinewood derby "car" I made. It is a "deuce and a half" (2.5 ton) truck. I got it done in only 8 days. I had plans to weather it more, but didn't have time.

Last post by Boomerang - October 06, 2024, 06:14:46 PMBrief breakaway to a tropical paradise .
Battle is "nearly" done.
EDF Canberra. Cleaned up the work area and clipped it all together for a bit of motivation.
Just need to get a good long run at it.
Trying to cull my reference and to build lists to make some room . It's difficult but it must be done.
Stay safe all.
Cheers

Looking forward to more projects.
