Hi you all, My name is Mark Arnold I have been Building cars for 25yrs my wish is to someday Race with the "Big Guys".. I have always run on Graphite so learning the world of Oil has been a eye opening adventure. I have yet to race a car in league but I'm close .....Looks like June will be the month for my coming out party..Hope you guys like some of my car designs....I've been a Scout Master for the last 15yrs and enjoy building cars that make the Boys scream "COOL".....hope to get to know you all in the future.

Welcome Mark!

I very much enjoy the creativity and craftsmanship you put into your builds. You make some fine looking cars! Also wish our cub master had your enthusiasm for pinewood derby. It would make the whole pack race experience that much more fun for everyone. Hey, is there anyway you could give an overview of how you painted Slippery When Wet? I tried the water-droplet effect once with spay cans and it did not turn out too well.

Thanks,
Cygnus

Hey Mark - hurry up and get one of those cars on the track.

I like the waterdrop effect. I tried it with rattle can spray and didn't get the results I was looking for. You did a good job with yours.

I Started with a base coat of Blue then at a Horizontal i sprayed white then after 15 min followed up with a metallic blue at a horizontal and placed the car under a heat lamp and left it there until the water evaporated......it was all done with a rattle cans.....Guess i got lucky I'm currently working on one that I'm going to call "HOT FLASH" stayed posted for the PICS....Thanks for all the kind words
