Boone you ARE the Bob Ross of painting slot car tracks.... I just came a crossed your videos yesterday.... all i can say is amazing job. I hope when i get to try these techniques out it comes out half as good as yours
Thanks Drew… I might do that… I need to talk to Travis “ That Slotcar Guy” , he has done a giveaway few times now, there are some rules to need to be fallowed with TH-cam to be able to do this. But I’ll keep you guys posted on what I come up with…
I'm gonna go ahead and like this vid. Lots of great info. Amazing work, my friend. Go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. I'm also gonna go ahead and say thanks for the great vid. Thanks for the great vid. 😁
Absolutely incredible, detail looks realistic, video is filmed very well and I've also learnt a thing or two. Oh and thanks for the sneaky shoutout legend
Looks Great Boone & KEWL track texture concepts! "Deception Speedway" has come a Loooooooong way since I Started watching your tutorials! Video No. 3 is more interesting to me b'cause that's how I want my track to remain, black asphalt & I'll possibly paint my Carrera Hairpin Turn like yours just for a GOOD or BETTER corning GRIP to keep the cars on the track & Not FLYING towards the floor! Thanks for the 4 series painting/texturing videos!
Thanks Django , yes it’s amazing how far the layout has grown. The blacktop asphalt technique has considerable grip to it. Thank you for watching my videos buddy, I really appreciate it… thank you
Wow each of these videos in this track painting series are very very good something for everyone and an AWSOME realistic effect for all different tastes and looks that race fans can use on there own tracks Well done Boone I particularly like the way you make the effect of the cobble stone look same technique you’ve used before and if it works it works and you my friend do make it work Bonza mate your a FairDinkum artist cobber
Pretty amazing. Maybe more patience and more talent than I have to accomplish. But who knows. Maybe someday I'll try this for an old Indianapolis Speedway layout -- the Brickyard.
Thank you Boone. I’m about done prepping my raceway surface for paint. I’m using AFX track and have smoothed out the joints with plastic putty and have completely sanded my entire layout to intentionally make it as slick as possible. I wasn’t even aware of the releasing agent before watching your videos, so I obviously have no idea how deep it penetrates. I was planning to use alcohol to clean my track before painting it, but do you recommend still using the lacquer thinner and scotch-brite steps to prep my track?
Great work. Like that red brick section most !👍🏻 When doin that, how much time did u spent in real time? (Or are u sleepless since starting ur project ? 😉 Would luv to see you blending the painted sections to the unpainted ones, to look smoother. What you think about that? Regards from Germany
Thanks Torsten … in real time it took about 6 hours to complete the cobblestone area. The red brick is just as time consuming. ….. but the cracks go very fast…. 😂… the blending is a good idea… I’ll do this on the next painting video for sure. Thank you for the suggestion..
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Cool! Thx! I do have a Ninco System with a single rail track and will try to create a little Rallye course with that, by using your tips for painting and detailing.
😂 thanks Cal… the cobblestone took me around 6 hours total… now granted I did do some filming as well.. but it is labor intensive to do. “But” if you were to do the stone style cobblestone, instead of the brick style… it would take considerable less time to complete. And what I mean by the stone style is the type that I did on the polystyrene video… much easier to do…..
The cobblestone is beautiful. I've been thinking for a while about doing it on some Ninco straights... with a broken soldering iron tip (sand it down until it's fine). But I think that with some type of putty like fiberglass, epoxy or stucco it would be more beautiful, easy to do and just by sanding, you lose the grip, that in a cobbled curve would be OMG
Thank you 😊, it’s a fun project to do. Takes a bit of time 😂.. an epoxy would be a good idea for a mortar effect. I wouldn’t use stucco, I don’t believe it would last very well
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage The stucco lasts, 10 years ago I made a super sliding lake effect curve with stucco and blue and white pigment, I have no data, other videos... but I did it and it turned out to be a movie, like the ones from scalextric that are sold in Spain
has anyone tried the soldering iron technique on Carrera track. it's thicker but I think the harder plastic may have a higher melting point? Great channel thank you
I know of a few people that used the technique on Carrera track. Yes it works, and it does have a higher melting point. The nice part is that with the higher melting point you get a little bit longer to create your effect , and with something that you really only get 1 shot at , it’s a good thing… 😂… And Thank You for watching my channel. Glad you are enjoying it.
Hey mr Boone, reviewed tge whole series, you're a wizzard, the track pimping makes the slots kinda dissapear... you answered me before so would it be possible to construct a 360°turn returning to the same track and this done twice now having a ralleye track, saving space.(there is a scalexric "chrono ralleye" but isn't made anymore). Greetz mate.
It’s a abrasive pad that is made by 3M … they have different colors for the different grits… the grey is a mild grit , so it won’t scar the plastic to the point that it creates deep cuts, but it creates a scuff that will improve the mechanical adhesion for the paint that is applied
No your correct, there is a difference… I tried to look up the proper word to use for this style, but all I found was “brick style cobblestone “…so that’s what I used for the description
Really awesome job and video! This was superb! Thanks for sharing!!

If you are using alcohol that will be a good thing. But I do recommend scuffing the surface of the track to promote adhesion

@@BoonesSlotCarGarage It requires a lot of sandpaper and patience, but stucco when it looks good is pure marble.
@@ThordoGames 👍 nice
@@ThordoGames very cool
Love the cracking, what do you do to do asphalt patches?
One of the track painting videos I did covers concrete… it would be pretty much the same technique
I'm a fan that's awesome work.

Thanks bud, I’m sure there is a way of doing this. I have seen a few rally tracks that do this. ,,, but I’m not sure “ how” it’s done …
What is scotchbrite? Is it a pan cleaner of sorts?
It’s a abrasive pad that is made by 3M … they have different colors for the different grits… the grey is a mild grit , so it won’t scar the plastic to the point that it creates deep cuts, but it creates a scuff that will improve the mechanical adhesion for the paint that is applied
What kind of track are you using?
I run Scalextric sport track with ARC Pro Digital

Cobbles are cobbles-not bricks, nit pick but there is a difference.
No your correct, there is a difference… I tried to look up the proper word to use for this style, but all I found was “brick style cobblestone “…so that’s what I used for the description
