Boone, your creative imagination is just awesome. Watched a whole bunch of your videos, and love them. Great stuff, dont stop, you are brilliant.
Thank you Alan... have plenty of videos to do , but I’m open to suggestions on future vids . So if you have something you would like to see , don’t be shy and ask... thank you again Boone
Boone, what a great channel you have. I’ve been watching from the outside for several months and I just purchased my first Carrera set and have already started planning my track design. Thank you for your imagination and creativity, you certainly an inspiration.
Thank you Bernard, glad that my videos helped get the inspiration flowing, that’s awesome buddy
your best guy in creative mind and one best teacher in teaching how to do stuff in slot cars thank you boone your great guy
My son and I used Foam Mega Darts, cut the rubber tip off and then cut each dart in half to make 2 stacks apx 4cm high. :-)
Just the cheap knock off ones on eBay though, not actual Nerf or branded :-)
Very cool idea! Thanks Rob
Thanks bud
Love the vintage theme , I am on a slow build on my Carrera track, You are an inspiration, thanks for sharing and showing how.
Thank you
Love your work mate
Thanks Tim
Nice job on the tires is the little things that really make a track look great. A couple ideas that might help you out and make your life a bit easier on them. To keep your center hole in the center is drill your hole through the insulation then just carefully put your punch over it and punch it out. You'll have to use a rod that is a bit closer to the diameter of the punch of course. When you have the tires cut to size you can use a blade or even a wire brush to make treads on them. Don't use that putty on then just coat them in Mod Podge then do your painting. If you put the tires on a rod with a bit of space between them it's easy and not as messy to paint them can do it very quickly. Then after the sides and tread parts dry take off the rod and paint the insides use a piece of parchment baking paper to dry them on. The Mod Podge will make them very durable. Another thing people use for tires is the foam nerf darts cut into the widths of tires they already have the center holes in them. Just find the larger Nerf darts to scale to your tires.
Another excellent video! Thanks, Boone.
thank you Eddie
Hey "Mikey" I like it!
Cheap tires made out of scrap foam!
I'm gonna have to try that trick like I did your spray foam mountains / rocks!
Thank you Django
Fantastic as ever, Boone! Thanks mate
Thanks Mick
Cool! Looks like one could use offbrand Nerf pellets cut to tire width and painted black too perhaps?
Thanks Bakko , yes that could work as well
One awesome track.
Thank you 😊
That's a lot of work for a single tyre at a time. If you have access to a lathe, get a bit of dowel or broom handle. Cut a piece maybe 4" long and stick it in the chuck. Drill up the guts about 1/2" diameter. Grind a thin v shaped tool with slight concave on the faces of the v. Proceed to cut in as if parting off to make grooves around the piece. Round off the ends and inside the hole, then part off to form 4 or 5 tyres in one stack. Paint them black or white to suit.
Thank you Ray...Yep it is some work, but not all the guys out there have access to a lathe. That’s why I came up with this , so the average person could do it. But your system of building tires sounds like a good one..
get video friend great information
Thank you Rusty
Great job Boone. How do you keep the painted tire from sticking from the drying surface?
Thanks Mike , I’m not quite understanding your question?
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage … My bad Boone. Please allow me try this again. After you paint the wheels, how do keep the wet paint from sticking to the surface on which they are drying?
@@mikemueller1686 as long as the paint is fully dried, it doesn’t effect the glue from drying or the adhesive bond
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage … Obviously I’m doing a poor job of getting the point of my question to you. Hopefully, three’s a charm. 😂 Once you finish painting each tire, what do you do with them until the paint dries? Is there an issue with them sticking to the the surface you place them on?
@@mikemueller1686 😂…. Ohhh … 😂… with acrylic paint it dries very quickly, and since the individual tires are so light it doesn’t really cause an issue. But you could always use a wire or a small dowel that fits in the center of the tire and suspend them till they are dry. Just paint one and slide it on the wire till dry
Very nice tips thk you 👍👍 what the type of your speed track carrera ?? I want to know 🙏❤🤟
Thanks Martin , my track is Scalextric sport and digital and I use the ARC Pro
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage thk you so much, !! 👍👍🤩🤟 i note date ,i will with my Dads to make a good track like you ,..ouff lol a lot time if you pass .. in passion
You can use a cookie cutter instead of the pipe.
Good idea 👍, just trying to find the right one might be a challenge
Could you suggest what kind of piping I could use for a 1/64 HO Scale Track
I saw your post earlier and I have been pondering while I have been working on my wife’s weekend hunny do list... what I came up with is 5/16 thin wall brass tubing that you can find at a hobby shop or hardware store... this diameter should work, it was between this and 11/32 ... if you have a drill hole gage you can use this as a visual aid in finding the correct size you want. But I believe that this will work....
