I couldn't make it through the comments, i apologize. Have you banked flat corners, where is a good start. Thanx again for the advice now, off to the races. 😂
@@publikuzer902 thank you 😊.... yes you can bank a flat corner . Not drastic but a slight bank. You go about it the same way but with all the corner pieces of track connected plus the straight away section as well on both sides. It's a slow process and make sure your lowest car doesn't have issues of hitting the nose on the track. If the nose hits it will lift the guide and cause your car to deslot of loose a connection of the braid to the rails. Rule of thumb is the wider the corner the greater the bank that can be created. Also when you go to bending your track use a twist style of bend. Not straight across . This helps with the consistency of the banking as well and will help in an even flow to the couture you are creating.
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage right on thank you for sharing your wizdom. Sounds on track with what i was imagining thank you again
Wow just realized this is from 4 yrs ago great job!! Wondered if you ever mounted a cam on the car, then drove it through?
Just started playing again!!! Got whole basement but only use half!😉👍
Working with all that Styrofoam. Should make a hot wire, had it back in the 1985-86 dryvit great for cutting Styrofoam. Just saying👍
REALLY LIKE VIDEO ON THE COBBLE STONE ROADWAY AS WELL👊🏼👍
I'm thinking levels! Starting around 3' the whole basement then another foot,and one more
Just tuned into your channel and yes, I'm 60 years old! Its an 3 yrs old vid .but I you know your cutting and working on is scaled out? Just saying.😝👍 great mod thanks . I'm hoping to do a semi retirement track in my whole basement!!
You are a true artist, brother thanks for showing us guys all your cool techniques to help us with our layouts thank you so much, brother. Hope you have a great night with an awesome day tomorrow.🎉
@@AnthonyBatemanSr thanks Anthony
@ You’re welcome, bro. I think you really are tremendous at what you do. Hope you have a great night. Thank you for sharing. 🎉👍🏽
Mr. Boone you’re a true artist, bro love your channel man. What about you show all the guys techniques how to improve our layouts thank you so much Bro! for sharing.

Great to see you back 😂a Again regards Malcolm from Adelaide south Australia
@@malcolmcodrington thanks Malcolm
Looks awesome!! - as always another quality project. Thank you and keep em coming.
@@HollandSlotCarRacing thanks buddy
This is pretty cool, but I was wondering is it possible to do multi hairpin turns going down hill?
@@trell1011 yes it is... but the tricky part is the slope and not making it too extreme so a low car can clear without dragging it's chassis
The livestream is much easier on you, so keep it up . I enjoy it just as much as a time-consuming video.
@@jeffreyyeater1780 thank you Jeffrey...
👍👏👏👏
@@titicharpi9611 thanks buddy
Absolutely loving the live stream Buddy. They also give you the flexibility to revisit the video at a later time. 👌🏆
@@Moonshine_Dave thanks you Davel . Yes they do give a bit of flexibility 😆🤣
Great job, so detailed
@@johnedmonds9370 thank you John
Love the live streams, keep em coming Boone!
@@alexkanelos8026 thank you Alex
Did you ever do a follow up on the cork screw corner?
@@HarryAlmstedt not yet... the HO layout is in need of some serious love from the move to Texas. And unfortunately i haven't taken the time to rebuild what was destroyed. My thought is to start completely fresh again and build a new table and start over
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Thanks for the feedback. I sent an email about HO guardrails, disregard the second part of the email since you answered the question here.
@@HarryAlmstedt sounds good 👍
That was so good thanks Boone 👌🫶
@@Moonshine_Dave thanks Mate
Hi from South Africa. Love what you do and how you do it. Question; for 1/32 scale, how do you scale your buildings. I have a 12m building, but when I scale it to 1/32, it comes to more than a foot in length, which seems unrealistic (too large) for scaelectric.
@@leondekock9273 thank you 😊... i use a scale calculator app to get the scale i need. Your building comes out to 1.23ft in 1/32 scale. But if that seems too large for your space you can use a little artistic liberty and change it up a bit. Most of the buildings i create are altered in scale some. Unfortunately most of us are limited on the room we have to create are wonderland. The rule of thumb i use is to size it down enough to still give the right effect. It's kinda like trees. A 100 ft tree in 1/32 scale is 37.5 inches. That's just not practical in most applications so we size them down to give the right effect for the room we have. Same thing goes for the buildings. Size your building down enough so it works in your area but still keep your doors and windows at the 1/32 scale. It's a mind twister sometimes trying to make it work . A big thing that helps me is to find a good picture of the building I want to build and use that to be my guide in my building process.
Thank you very much. Most helpfull
@leondekock9273 your welcome... i should do a video covering this
What is the size of the track you are currently working on? Where is Deception track? So cool.!
@@johnreackhoff3500 this is Deception... she is just going through major renovation 😆🤣 .. the track is still right around 106 ft long...
The only word I can think of is , magical! You have a gift .
Thank you Jeffrey
Erneut großartige Arbeit!
Thank you Peter
Fantastic work Mate, that is already looking amazing. The live streams are always a fantastic idea.
@@davidvolk806 thanks @Moonshine_Dave 😆🤣😂 wonder where you got that name 😆🤣😂
😂😂😂 It would appear your talents extend beyond just building slot car scenery mate. 🤣👍 Apologies for not being able to make it to your live stream s and zoom meetings. I’m stuck on nights shift here at work and will be looking forward to seeing you all again for a chat. Take care champ. Oh have you got over the shrinkage from your dip in the pool the other day 😂
@Moonshine_Dave 😆🤣😂 still trying to get my voice to get back to normal 😆🤣 we all miss ya on zoom. It will be nice to get you back.
So Awesome!
@@thevillagesreporter thanks buddy
Lol that's actually the pretty fast way of doing buildings. They're are some modelers that actually cut out tiny individual stones and build like that. Now that is tedious. Good to see you doing the long lines then go in and do your vertical lines. You can use a ball point pen to go over your lines to make them deeper. Then there is washes you do after painting bring out those details. In painting be very careful of the paint you use. Some like spray paints can melt your foam ruining all your work. You can make a nice protective shell by using Mod Podge and some acrylic paint. It can be watered down to thin it out. When it dries it makes the foam very tough and resistant to damage. If you need to make some sills for door frames and windows some cardboad from cereal boxes os chesp and handy. Looks like you know how to make your stonr texture using wadded up tinfoil rolled and pushed down over your foam.
@@AlexBabcock-hw9iz 😆🤣 ya its not my first rodeo ... i have done the individual stones before. Not a fun way of doing it.. this technique is very fast compared to that. Plus the end result is pretty epic. It works great for this style of building. If i was building an old ruin of a diorama for a ww2 scene the individual stones would be the way to go. Or a mix of blending the two techniques together
Very cool this is just like doing the modeling for D&D that so many channels do. They've done some incredible buildings including castles and huge cathedrals. One guy did the coliseum of Rome. They also make trees and bushes of every variety you can think of. Interesting how one hobby bleeds over into another. Of that you put two of the sides together before cutting reliefs and texturing. Much easier to do when you can lay them flat to work. You can use small blunt tools to push the foam in in spots if you desire deeper parts then others.
@@AlexBabcock-hw9iz true how hobbies blend together in certain ways. It is easier to create the blocks and manipulate the foam when the parts are laying flat. But unfortunately with this build since i had a certain place i am planning on putting it, I had to build the structure first so I could make adjustments as needed. Thanks for watching
omg ; cant believe i just saw this today ; that intro .... lool just great ; although to me ; that was more Clarkson island than bob ross; ; i'm just a kid .... 47 years young. been going thourough your videos lately ; finaly got my track on a table; took time to plan it out ; and now building my 1929-1972 monaco GP inspired track. thanks for all the great help on detailing stuff.
@@gregmtech 😆🤣😂 thanks buddy I'm glad my videos are a help
Have you been into this stuff since you were a kid ? Just wondered cause I starting building train and slot car layouts since about 1970 or so . Ho trains , O gauge , N gauge , and ho slots.
@@jeffreyyeater1780 i have tinkered with modeling in one for or another since i was a kid. Never really got into trains even though I have had a few. I had a few slot car tracks when I was young but stepped away from the hobby for years . Wasn't until about 6 years ago that I stepped back into the ring again.
Perfect video and tutoriel, you big great talent 👍🤩
@@martinvaillancourt5850 thank you very much Martin
Man , you know stuff ! Great video . Thanks, man .
@@jeffreyyeater1780 thanks Jeffrey and your welcome
Great video Boone! I've learned a lot watching your vids and using your methods. Really cool stuff brother.
@@MikeLandis-0476 thank you Mike . I'm glad it helped
@BoonesSlotCarGarage hey no problem man, it's good work! I think I've seen all of your videos so far lol.

Hi Boone"s, Happy new year 2025. Are you a genius, my master....
@@slotcarhungary 😆🤣 thanks buddy and Happy New Years to you
There used to be some pretty intricate plaster kits back in the day. Will have to do this in the future.
@@colossalbigfoot256 yes i do remember seeing some kits before years ago. But im not too sure what scale they were. I do recommend giving this a go. It's a fun project to do.
Do you use your scraps for extra scenery
@@arnoldcampo7218 yes... it helps as filler for spray foam or added details in rock formations due to the difference in the way it carves...
Thank you. Very kind of you to share your experience.
@@arnoldcampo7218 your welcome... thank you for watching
Dont work too hard man .
Glue cloth to the face of the foam . Or use duck tape .lol
Thats going to look very cool . If it's dark inside the tunnel, you really shouldn't see too much of it . Or you could really detail the tunnel and light it . Either way its cool .
Boone...outstanding! I am a huge fan of yours! I have been watching your videos and have become so inspired by you. Keep up the great work!
