Jimmy you are the slot car version of a model railroader !!!!
Mike that is definitely a compliment! Some of the workmanship I've seen on some train layouts inspires me to do more. Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe. Thanks for your comment my friend!
@@jimmyattard1446 It was ment to be. That is the single most beautiful Slot car track I have ever seen. You need to get it in magazines and on TV.
I have been a software engineer for 30+ years and this show is extremely inspiring. Engineering is engineering and the level of detail and thought put into this project are exceptional.
Well thanks KW! Engineers do think alike... I believe they are born not made. There are guys who are wired to understand and appreciate how I think....and those who think I'm wasting time. I know though, that it's not a waste of time because I have fun doing it!

This man is a genius! He sees something in ordinary mundane objects that he can use on his layout. I can copy him on my layout, but the genius lies in his ability to do it first!
Road scholar you are too kind! I've always made my search for details to apply to my layout as half the fun. Believe me, only 1 in 25 things I collected ended up working, but I even had fun with the failures! Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe. Thanks for your comment my friend!
as always, another great share . thanks !

Dankeschön! Ich bin froh dass du die video gut finden! Grüße zu Deutschland von die USA!
Another great video! Todd Brown would appreciate this.
Amazing, so much detail out of such simple things 🌴👍👍😎🌴
Yes Dave i love collecting details to add to my layout. It only takes a few minutes to show how I applied the stuff I collected to use on the track....but it took many years to collect all of them. Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe. Thanks for your comment my friend!
Such a variety of brilliant details! The aluminium door and floor tiles are masterful, also the flag poles. Thanks for sharing your methods.
You are very welcome Ray. Glad you can use the ideas! Please see more 1/32 slot racing and tracks by subscribing to the Lunch King channel. Go back and share with your friends and family my friend.
Inspirational. One persons jewellery is another persons sewer. Love it! Great video thank you. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
That was a funny spin on words John. Thanks for the smile your comment caused!

Love this series! Thanks!

I watched your videos all afternoon long and enjoyed every minute of it. I can remember when a slot car track existed back in the mid 70’s when I was a kid something I haven seen in years. Have you ever considered a car with a small camera mounted in or on it to capture another prospective of your masterpiece of a track? Another consideration would be to put small cell phone cameras around the track itself, as if you didn’t have enough to do.

Very nice , exceptional work.

Great stuff! Any chance you can tell us how to make the segmented orange and white concrete barriers. The ones that are wider at the base?
Bella please see Django's request for info on those highway barriers. I replied about them to him above. Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe. Thanks for your comment my friend!
If you could also compile a book of all the sketches for ideas and materials used, that's definitely a must have for any scale track builders.
That's a good idea Marble. Maybe close up pictures of the sketches could suffice. I'll talk to the guys. Please see more 1/32 slot racing and tracks by subscribing to the Lunch King channel. Go back and share with your friends and family my friend.
I meant to write MRBC...thx again
Found coffee stirrers on Etsy!
Another great video 👍 I’m looking forward to using these ideas.
How do you build the tents with the sponsor name on them?
Please keep making these videos 👍
Ant1 , The canopies over the team's prepping cars came from a fellow in Germany or Austria that had seen my web site. He had printed, on 8.5X11 card stock, 5 different ones spread out in blank. They could be cut out and folded into very realistic canopies. However they were all in 1/24 scale. I had them for 15 years before I made copies of them on my own cardstock reduced to the correct size. The support poles, cross braces and lighting I scratch built. Thanks for noticing them. Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe. Thanks for your comment my friend!
I could spend days looking at the detailing you have made. Question...where do you get all of your people figures? You have some interesting ones I have not see before. Thanks for sharing your awesome knowledge.
Steve you are not going to believe this ...but in an effort to have very few figures alike, I not only decapitate half of them and swap heads but I have cut torsos at the beltline to revise the posture of some of the figures' bodies. Crazy I know. But, thanks for noticing. Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe. Thanks for your comment my friend!
@@jimmyattard1446 But where do you buy the figures?
I had a dozen Monogram figures from when I was a kid that I made molds of and cast more in resin. Also I found at dollar stores "construction" figures that with a lot of carving were made into men I could use on the track. Oh, about ten years ago MRRC reproduced the Monogram figures for a short while. I bought about 40 figures from MRRC which were hard to find. Also WW2 war figures in 1/37th scale can be used. Tank and truck crews are what I bought some of. Some of the seated figures are O scale train people designed to be waiting at the station. Hope this helps Steve.
Hey I’m new to slot car racing, I don’t know about car size, steering,or how to get into racing a slot car.Can you do a video on technique and the skill level or fundementals of slot car racing.Would love to give this sport a try!
Who saw the reflection on the puddles in the parking garage??? Wow
Can you cover that a bit more??!!
The stuff he's using for flags is usually called "flagging tape" if you're looking for it.
Great ...thanks for the info Sean.
Hey I'm building a realistic AFX slot car track on an old ping pong table but I don't know what to do for the scenery any ideas?
get super meta and have a tennis court somewhere
Search Facebook groups.
Finley, go visit the other how-to videos that Ryan has on his LK sight. Hope they inspire your build! Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe. Thanks for your comment my friend!
I would be interested to know how you made the figures looking down from the landing and the other one looking up shown at 17:11. The detail it just tremendous. Keep the videos coming. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
John ....I'm so thrilled that you noticed that! The green guy looking up was looking up at a crane. He was included in my Renwal truck kit that I got for my 12th birthday. I'm 69 now so that shows how long I've had him! I actual decapitate most of my figures and try to turn their heads looking in different directions. The figure looking down was meant, by Monogram, to be lifting a tire onto a car in the pits. With a bit of heat and cuts in his torso I got him to seem like he is looking down. Thanks my friend...your noticing it made all the work worth it. Go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
i'd like to hear about the brick work at the end of the video.
Sean I would like to do a demo on how a wall like that can be made from Styrofoam. Stay tuned. In fact please go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
Is there a part number or something to help find those rubber seals used for the flag poles.
Great Lesson Jimmy but, how did you make the Orange & White Barriers there @ 24:00, this video?
Love the Place Mat fencing, gonna have to try that, the copper connectors, Awesome drums but, those
can probably get pricey these days 🤣! I have to Agree with you on the finding Weird things and using
them for the track. I work for Enterprise Car Sales and the things that people leave behind after buying
a " Gently " used rental car 🤣, they can leave behind some CrAzY Junk!
The highway barriers painted red and white that you asked about Django are made from plaster of Paris. I carved the original out of wood then I made a mold using that "blue stuff" product I highlighted in the work bench video. In the future we might do a segment on making a mold and casting some more highway barriers for you to see. Please pass our LK videos to friends who may enjoy them and subscribe.

@@jimmyattard1446 That would be GRRRRRRRRR8 Jimmy & I hve Subscribed right after the 2nd video 😏! You are my new layout scenery "Specialist" just like u, I too collect odds & ends frm work for my track which will one day get off my bsemnt floor! Thanks for ur videos
Kenny G.
Full fanatics!
Thank you Pedro! Thanks for your nice comment, my friend. Please go back and share Ryans Lunch King videos of our track with your friends.
👍🏻👍🏻😁
Hi, are the trees home made or store bought? If home made how was it done?
Half of the trees are store bought Vick. They are mass produced cheap snow covered trees sold st Christmas. Pack of 6 for about $9. The others were grown as Autumn Joy Season I grow in my yard. Please see how I made them look realistic and more 1/32 slot racing and track ideas by subscribing to the Lunch King channel. Go back and look for the making trees videos. Please share with your friends and family my friend.
I would like to know more about the signs
Well Cl1ck3r, All my signs were done by a good friend who was a graphic artist in Juliet, Illinois. I spent a weekend with him 22 years ago finding appropriate sponsor logos on the inyernet and reducing them all down to 3 sizes in 1/32 scale. We worked over 25 hours on them. It took over 3 years to find a printer who could read the program my friend used and print them as clear as I wanted them to be. It was all worth it in the end.
