How much faster was it to build this version compared to the original?

Hey there bud. So, if you take out making the mold (2 days) it was a bit longer. Why? I did a few extra steps to include some tightly held secrets that I did not know about when I built the first. The painting went faster as I now know the paint needs to be oven dried. My new airbrush works a LOT better with the pearl paint. A heat gun helps to get it ready to handle. So...yes, It was actually faster. I gooped the 1st because I thought the paint mixture was bad as it was not drying. Then I read the instructions. Thanks man.@@Chris_Hood

Hey Chris, Funny you commented on my pin "Re-Forge the sword" I'm just wondering if you know from whence that phrase came. Thanks man. I will await your answer.@@Chris_Hood

@@sstdiecastracing2372 to me, sounds like a reference to Narsil, broken during the battle with Sauron when Isildur cut the One Ring from his hand, later reforged by the Elves of Rivendell to become Anduril, Flame of the West and presented by Elrond to Aragorn before the battle of Minas Tirith

You sir, are correct. WOW. WOW, wow. Love ya Bro. That was just an awesome response. Now, I know you researched that but thanks. I had the volume at max and I still could not understand her fathers name.The elf that re-Forged the sword. What is his name? She didn't say Elrond, she didn't say father. I'm still not sure what she said. Almost sounds like she say Daddah.@@Chris_Hood

Thanks Marc.

Thanks. I wanted to try something new. I just remembered how to add the background music.

It was 17 minutes. I didn't show a few things like tightly kept secrets.

@@sstdiecastracing2372 yep, like laying out five grades of sandpaper never actually saying which were used 👍

You can see all the grades. I used all of them. I cut that a lot. For sure don't need to show repeats of the same thing. Ya man. I cut out the intro to the last few seconds. Thanks for the comments. This was not easy to edit. I have watched and cut, watched and cut, so many times I am glad it's over. I always look forward to your comments. I got up this morningand I checked the reviews. Hmm, no Chris Hood, well, I'm sure to hear from him soon. Thank you my friend.@@Chris_Hood

You must have missed that part in the beginning. I made a seperate video on that also. 2 part silicone mold for lead casting. Thanks.

So, needed to make another lead mold for a car and make a video. So far it is 3 parts and you can see in detail how this is done. Thanks again.

@@sstdiecastracing2372 ok

1st of all, Welcome and Thank You for commenting. I sent it to a race and I do not get it back. DANG IT! It did very well at 3Dbotmaker, the most popular track I know of. I came in tied for second place. I sent it to them Nov. 2021. The race finals were 10 days ago or so. If you want great racing and dramatic commentary I suggest going to see them. Here is a link to the first race of Johnny Smoke. If you watch this, I swear you will be hooked. Thanks again 2xWhiskey. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rK-Uetyp1MXUd5c.html

Ya know, ya could say he went down in a blaze of glory. He did not win.

@@sstdiecastracing2372 Holy smokes, I had no idea that those events were so long in the making and running! 3 years is a long time to be out a car I'd think, but the fame from that tournament is probably well worth the wait. Nice showing coming in second on that last run!

Hence the Phrase, "Re-forge the Sword" And yes, they got over 400 cars. Each Tournament is 64 cars. That was T-2. So, 128 cars done, A lot more to go.1 race a week about.@@The2xWhiskey
