Please join me as I have a wonderful evening chat with Mark Huber, also known as 'Big Sky Banker' on the forums and explore his history with slot cars and incredible scratch built cars!

 

 

Any and all comments are more than welcomed!

 

Thanks

Thanks John for doing these interviews, we get to virtually sit in on the conversation and understand what motivates other folks in our hobby.

 

I am a 1/24 scale builder and never had sets. So my passion started with commercial routed tracks 1967-1970.

I did build a fully landscaped Scalextric track 4'x16' in the 90s for my son and friends. It was fun, couple of issues the joints and the temperature distortion was always an issue. I even had 1 and 1/2" of extra width so you could hang the tail out.

 

So I love the scale rivet counting of 1/32 builders. Is there a group similar in 1/24 that you may of herd of? 

 

1/24 scale just make sense to me, you can add way more detail in chassis design and driver / interior etc. paint. 

 

So I question if I chose the wrong scale, but I am in too deep now.

Martin, my pleasure!

 

I can't overstate how pleased I am that so many folks like yourself are viewing and enjoying these 'chats' as much as I enjoy having them!

 

Our hobby is so many things to so many people and I really learn so much from hearing how others enjoy slot cars!

 

Thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful post!

Martin, John has a number of 1/32 construction videos on YouTube. They are how I first bumped into him about five years ago.
