Scratch Build Slot Car.. Applying Decals!

Part 2 of the Scratch Build Slot Car for the HRW Showdown Proxy in the Land Barge class. We are adding detail to the body so it looks like a proper 1963 Ford Galaxie NASCAR!
Decals are not difficult if you take your time. I quite enjoyed the process.
Next up to get the body mounted, interior completed and the car tuned!

Good morning, the Master at work, trying to make his deadline.

[@twolinesslotcars]

Good morning Chris! I am close..

Looks great Marty. That’s really the only drawback to printing our own decals. They get completely washed out on anything but a white background.

[@twolinesslotcars]

Yes, they are a touch too transparent.

[@PeterLufrano]

Nice Marty!

[@twolinesslotcars]

Thanks Peter

I saw this on the livestream. Have you ever taken the next step and used microset followed by an airbrushed topcoat? It's fussy, but it'll look painted on.

[@twolinesslotcars]

I have not… I will need to learn more.. I am not really a modeler..

[@CircuitSociety]

@@twolinesslotcars I'm eventually going to do a few videos on some techniques I know from the modelling/miniatures space. You can get some really good DIY results with minimal cost and effort.

[@SpareRoomSlotCars]

Decals aside, the paint job looks great on it, what did you use?

[@twolinesslotcars]

I used the new Krylon 5x rattle can..

[@Clearwater124]

I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be using a saucer from her 8 place holiday dinner set!

[@twolinesslotcars]

😂😂😂🤫🤫

[@SlotCarWildman]

[@twolinesslotcars]
