1/32 Scale Slot Car Racing
With Scalextric offering white versions on some of their cars now, I thought it would be a great opportunity to customize a car or 2 to my own liking. I also have a few older cars that would sure look sharper with fresh paint and decals.
I did not want to re-learn model painting on a brand new $40 car. I say re-learn
because I used to build 1/24 scale model cars, a lot. When I was building
models, I brush painted all of them. That was the most economical method and
still is but my allowance is a little bigger these days. Spray paint is obviously
a better way to go for appearance sake anyway. I opted to practice on an older
Scalextric Porshce 962 that I happened to have a pair of. They are both yellow
and in pretty good shape, so I picked the worst of the two. By worst, I mean
it had more decals, some of them crooked and it really did not look all that
swift to begin with.
Basically, I followed directions written by David Lawson that I found at the
SSRC
web site.
