SPLENDID* project, Chief! Just SPLENDID!

QUOTE (bres3000)...about the "Over the next few days/weeks...." thing, you DO realize that's like three years in Slot Car Time? We need to see details!!
Holy words Bres, holy words!
Hurry up Chief, we ain't got time to loose!

What a great thread and what a beautiful T (did'nt I say that already?)! Thanks a million, Chief!

You're the little red Evil Duck
Too lazy to crow for day
You're the little red Evil Duck
Too lazy to crow for day

Keep everything in the farm yard upset in every way

The dogs begin to bark and hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange kind people
Cause Little red Evil Duck is on the prowl

If you see my little red Evil Duck
Pleeeease drive her home
If you see my little red Evil Duck
Pleeeease drive her home

Ain't had no peace in the farm yard

Since my little red Evil Duck's been gone

QUOTE (Maximo)Congratulations, you have truly arrived with a hell of a ride!

Indeed, dear Max!

In fact I could'nt resist such a beautiful T and I proceeded to immediately command a copy from our own Chief (am I the Thingie Kingie or am I not?!).

And after what seemed to be eons look what arrived:

SuperCute presentation, innit? And what a build:

Affaire à suivre...

QUOTE (chief32s)...and let me make a public apology for the delay. It seems that 4-5 months is going to be the standard sort of time for me to build a Thingie.
Chief,
don't apologize, we have forgiven you.
And anyway you're not the worst offender: I remember, on August the 6th 2006, an undisclosed individual started to build and post here a wonderful T WHICH IS NOT FINISHED YET as of today!

Anyway,
the Duck is now finished after assembling it with a beautiful Mura 44 mag can, with a 55 t of 29AWG arm, made by John Havlicek of SlotBlog fame:

Front and rear wheels are Kai's:

Note the elegance and the amazing taste used in the assembly (none of that ugly modern stuff you used in your Sunchaser car, you hear that Chief?!):

And here whizzing around the track:

QUOTE (chief32s)...I'd be very interested to know if there are any modern motors in Thingiedom that would'nt be frowned upon...
Absolutely NONE, NADA, ZILCH, ZERO!
