@@mattiapresti7295 the spray foam can be used like that and so can the polystyrene foam. The polystyrene is going to give you more support. The spray foam is a little messy to use in that matter because of the chemical properties that it has . There is a glue type of residue that can be quite a pain. And the control factor is an issue as well, it just like to grow bigger than expected most times 😂
When you go to bend them after you cut use a heat gun to soften track and use a wooden rolling pin , roll up and down pushing gently you get a perfect curve
@@brucemullison5346 I prefer something I know won’t fail . Under this layout was my wife’s Mercedes Benz when it would be stored. I think I would rather have faith in a steal c clamp then a wooden dowel 😂kinda life insurance
Great stuff Boone! I would have never thought of doing a pour like this. It's a great look for an old Route 66 type building, and something I may tackle myself at some point. Thank you for posting!
I took several of your ideas for bending the track. I feel I’ve come up with an easier stronger way to loosen up track for this. I’d love to send you photos and get your opinion. What do you think ?
Boone so good to watch you again, another great video, you look very well. looking forward to your next video, I’ve been rewatching some of the older videos, I made a tunnel, a old time water tower, and a bridge, thanks for all the ideas and techniques.
My HO slot cars have magnets. I would concerned about the cars bottoming out on that ridge before the corkscrew turn. You're testing it with the crapiest Tyco car with minimal magnetic force. You are kind of dedicating these pieces of track to accomplish this radical hill. But cool as heck! I can't wait to see you build the scenery.
Hello My name is Andre I wanted to ask you for your advice I have an N Sr GT 40 mark 4 White Kit I was wondering do I have to print first then paint it or can I just paint itThank you
@@andresanchez2264 I think you meant prime it first ? But yes a thin coat of primer is a smart thing to do. It will help with the adhesion for your topcoat. Plus when you lightly sand the primer you can take care of of and flaws in the plastic casting of the body
Always buy new track. The rails will oxidize over time. You can clean the oxidation off, but once metal starts to oxidize, it will just come right back. Tyco and Tomy track are a little different (width of lanes, depth of slot, height of rails). Get the Tomy track!
Another Great how to video Boone...I know you did this some time ago, but just finally getting some time to watch some of these and learn. Always look forward to seeing how much detail you put into these projects and try to do that myself..Keep it going..
Fantastic video and great explanation. I'm currently looking for inspiration for a rocky slot car track, and need to make all of the scenery tomorrow so I think that the foam solution might be the right choice :) Thanks for sharing
@@wjspade thanks buddy, I’m trying to get back on the video train again. Luckily we missed the weather from Beryl . Sorry to hear about your loss of power , that’s never fun and especially in the heat .
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage It was just like camping! Haha I have friends up in Houston who didn’t get power back until late Sunday night. One had a tree fall through his roof and I to his kitchen. The rain water destroyed all the hardwood flooring in the kitchen/dining/living room area. The cabinets soaked up water from the floor and have all but fallen apart as well. I live out in the woods and will have cleanup work to do for the better part of a year because of Beryl. The entire forest is about 10 - 15 feet shorter now and all the treetops are on the ground. Lots of free firewood, though! 👍🏼 I’m glad that you and yours were spared from the brunt of the storm. I hope all is well with Deception, too!
