Additional Info About Reeves
Bio:
Ahoy!
I’m Tom 45 years old and I have 4 lovely daughters
I started with slot when I got a set at early age from Santa Claus, who didn’t have a set when they were kids. ?
I had my first decent set about 15 years ago and started to collect cars and made a permanent track at that time.
Sold everything a few years later.
Got into modeltrains, rc cars, but the slotcars kept interesting me.
About a year ago I placed an advert to sell one of my rc cars, a guy responded if I maybe was interested in a swap, my car against a slotcar set and a big box of extra track......
So I got back into slotcars.
I have a big attic and the planning was to build a permanent track, not to big, and as a former modeltrain guy I wanted to build it as realistic as possible.
Also the cars have to look as realistic possible, I learned myself to weather in my train period.
So I tried it on my cars, I call it “the last lap look “
Recently I started to make slotcars out of static models as I found a 1/32 VW bus in a recycle shop nearby.
So I’m really loving this hobby, it’s relaxing and a pure pleasure for me to build, customise and working on the cars and the layout.
What more does a man need

| I mostly made little dioramma's of a onroad race track until i came across this rally beetle, so i went for a mudy road somewhere in a rally stage. To give the mud some structure i mixed plaster powder with some left over brown to get the look of real mud. The dioramma is a piece of wood i had laying around, the elevation is made with pieces of insulation foam i found on a construction site, green is flocking from woodland scenics, stones and little parts i found in my garden. Hope you like it! ! |
