As some of you know I serve in the military, and for the past several months, my prop building has been on hiatus.. That is until I’m at my prospective duty station. But that doesnt mean my family isnt picking up the slack while I’m away. While my wife is working on a Slimer outfit for my son, My father is ramping up for this year’s pinewood derby and I’ll say this. If there’s one thing I took away from my father, its being a stickler for attention to detail. I’ll be posting pics of the progress as the weeks go by.
Holy ghostdroppings! (pardon my expression) The Webbies and Cubbies are gonna love that… not to mention the parents… might become the envy of all the Fathers who helped their sons on their pinewood cars!
Tell your pop don’t forget the lights an’ siren! It will be a totally cool sight to see it screamin’ down the track! lol…
I know… it will be too heavy to be regulation weight, but AWESOME… nevertheless!
Cool beads! Can’t wait to see the finished results!
Oh, the fathers have either a “best in show” or “speed” competition. My pop’s won best in show 2 years in a row. My brother’s is in it for the speed. and trust me, the lights and decals will all be there. This is gonna be an Ecto 1a.
…Sorry… for being over exzuberant… I just think it is so cool of how far we have come in Pinewood Derby racing. I would love to see an Ecto1 or A at an event such as this. When I was a Cub Scout, I had entered my car as the “Batmobile”… only thing was, it was just an ordinary, uninspired derby car with the words “Batmobile” on it … ■■■■■■ heck! Thought those words would make the car go faster! :sigh:
Now THIS IS TALENT! Forget my 1/12 scale build, this beats EVERYTHING!
We here in Finland do not have such derbies unfortunately, and for now, I have missed that out intentionally. But seing an Ecti beign carved from solid block of wood IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!
If you EVER get the stopid idea of selling this, you’ll know who to contact!
