Marshall's huts

I made these marshall hutts last year out of balsa and modeling card board.

Last week i made a program stall for my MRRC program seller.

New old refreshments kiosk

Yesterday i put the finishing touches on my homemade scalextric refreshments kiosk. I based my idea around the scalextric A/228 kiosk.

I made the building out of a model making material (i don't know what is is called!) and added balsa wood for edging and for the wood effect. In side i made a cut out drinks dispenser.you can Print them out from the link. http://www.carrera4fun.de/pdf/gkuehl1.pdf. Also i added an inside partition wall and some shelfs. Then painted it and printed of some logos.

The making of westfield

We started building the track in september last year.We had several ideas for the track and the board the track goes on. We made the board so that when we take the track up for the summer we can fold it away.

we started building the board and then painted it grey with bits of sand in so it gives a gravel effect.

I added some scalextric posters and a bar honda flag.

The finished track!

Scalextric Club champion

In 2009, i became the Scalextric club champion at the brooklands test hill challenge. I set the fastest times for a club member (19.49 seconds)  in a scalextric ford escort MK1 rs1600.

Adrian Norman phoned my dad to tell me I had won the competition. I was asked what prize do you want? i wanted the ford escort mk1 club car offer. As you have probably guessed, i love ford escorts and all other fords. They asked if we could write an article to go in the scalextric club magazine and add a photo. We typed it up, sent it on email then in the next club magazine we were in there. 

Quite few weeks later i got in the post my car and later followed by my certificate. I just thought that  the car would be the normal one but it had written on it " scalextric club champion 2009". I was very pleased.

Last year i went to the london international slot car show at crofton halls in orpington.i brought the car along with me to get valued. the first seller said he would pay £400. later we asked another seller. He said £500 then £600. i would never sell it but i just wanted to know how much it is worth.

The Blog

I wanted to show my scalextric set and scenery in a blog which is constantly updating. I will be blogging every week to monthly. (Depends on the time I have so it could be between fortnightly or monthly). I hope you enjoy my blog and seeing my scenic track, westfield!!
