Another Revell Gato build

[trout]

I am intrigued and learning from you.
My wife dropped a book on mine, did not fair as well as yours did.

No photo tricks here I promise. The whole thing is hanging from the flagpole.

Thanks Tom, I'm still learning myself. I am very happy with the strength of the carbon items. They certainly don't have the intricate detail of molded plastic. But they are there and represent.

My Dad swung by to drop off the Nautilus, so I haven't finished my sanding block. I've pulled it from the mold and found the tape I laid down to protect the hull bubbled. Probably wont affect much, but doesn't look pretty.

A small test block sanded. The green n red mark is to reference waterline. The paper is just CA'd down. I doubt I'll ever wear it out to need replacing.

Slot-cars!!???..... you Freak!

That sanding tool is slick.

Digital slot cars.... 6 cars on the track at the same time in any lane. It filled the winter time until I got into submarines. 7' x 13' table suspended from cables and retracts into the ceiling with a winch. Gotta keep the other half happy by not filling entire basement with toys.

Some more eye candy...

For some reason I can only load one pic at a time today. So this shall be the last one for now. Tried to get the link to my photobucket, but it seems I don't exist anymore. 1/32 scale by the way. I've converted a few Revell static cars to run on the track too.

Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing. Crazy good fun. Lexan bodies are the only way to go. High-impact styrene .... ain't!

I haven't forgotten the Gato. Not much has changed, but she's primed for paint and found a home to be be displayed.

This should be a link to my photobucket with the slot car pics M.
