[@SwiftSlots]

Wow Harry, I know what it's like to stay up until the sun rises to watch other KZbinrs videos and I know how hard it is. To know you've also done that for me is amazing, THANK YOU. I'm glad you liked the build 🥰

[@ScottWM54]

Rob, you applied your skill level of "off the chart" to a skill level 5 model to create a master piece. What a beauty......worth watching twice.

[@SwiftSlots]

LOL, thank you Man, I'm glad you enjoyed watching 🙂

[@gerrbearlavallee6687]

After watching some of your previous videos, I saw that you are an engineering and modeling genius. This one confirms your level of brilliance. (standing ovation)

[@SwiftSlots]

Oh my, thank you 🥰

[@turboprop5371]

Absolutely Fantastic work Rob... Outstanding, I would be afraid to run that piece of Art, again Fantastic 👍🏻

[@SwiftSlots]

Lol, I'd rather it didn't get scratched, but I already split the body and had to repair it, so another mark can be fixed 🙂

[@SpareRoomSlotCars]

Hi Rob, Great build, your car is beautiful. I participated in Jorge's Proxy last year and it is very fun to watch the car you built go around someone else's track. Good luck and I will be keeping an eye out for it

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you Mate, fingers crossed it doesn't let the side down 🙂

[@brandonschaeffer5171]

Thank you, Rob! That was entertaining and informative. I appreciate that you share both your design process and your construction process. I hope that I enjoy building my proxy entry as much as I enjoyed watching you build yours!

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it and good luck with your build🙂

[@andyfadian]

Wow, you are a genius Rob, the build looks fantastic. I look forward to seeing more of it on Area 51.👏👏

[@SwiftSlots]

Thanks Man, I have no idea how it will perform, probably not as well as the other seasoned builders, we will see 😀

[@chrispatzkowsky7165]

Rob all I can say is WOW, what beautiful work, you are a true craftsman. always love your videos. crack on.

[@SwiftSlots]

Rob, that car is quite a nice engineering feat & show of your craftsmanship. Enjoy watching the upcoming proxy events.

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you, don't expect too much from it in the race lol.

[@beersgoodforu]

Rob, this is an amazing video! Thanks for building and sharing your skill with us. Can't wait to see it run at Jorge's track.

That’s so skilful Rob. I appreciate that there are a great deal of hours invested into all of your builds,but it’s such a selfless gesture to build a car of that standard for someone else.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SwiftSlots]

Sorry Lewis, I didn't build it for Jorge, it's only going over to the US to race in the December proxy, then it's coming back to me, I'm not that generous !

Top notch sir! Your skills and creativity is amazing! Thank you for the excellent video.

[@SwiftSlots]

[@bernard_wheeler]

Rob, your attention to detail and skill are exquisite. Truly flabbergasting 😮. And your patient walkthrough and explanation are truly inspiring. I really feel I should experiment working with brass after watching this, although I’d probably end up with something that handled like it would make your pre-mod Alpine look smooth… Thanks again, and bravo, bravo!

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you Bernard, working in brass is not all that hard once you have understood a few basic rules and got some basic tools. Email me through Swift Sixteen website if you'd ever like some advice :-) Good luck.

[@bernard_wheeler]

Thanks Rob, that’s a very kind offer. I’ve got a number of other projects that I need to progress first, but a brass chassis is now on my list!

[@jackgabbert3233]

Hi Rob, Truly inspirational scratch building! Fantastic ideas expertly executed throughout. It's so good that the only problem I have is the YT speed choices don't give me enough of slow playback option for my liking, LOL I'll be re-watching this 100th video many - many times. Congrats all the way around!! Best Regards, Jack

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you Jack, I'm glad you liked the build. Most of the fast forward work was sped up even faster to try and get the video down to even this long video. I wanted to make the 100th video a full length single video 🙂

[@Motor-Speedway]

[@pistolpete651]

Outstanding. Would love to replicate the chassis. Will try. See you use a torch for some of your soldering. Interesting. And the use of a angle grinder. That's what we call it, for making cuts on your brass. Just curious of the size of it. I have one and I know they can be hard to handle and dangerous. The way you whip it around is unbelievable. A great inspiration. Was recently given a metal lathe from my father-in-law. Plan on playing with it for builds.

[@SwiftSlots]

Hello PistolPete, If you meant the light torch lighting up the work being soldered, yes, all the irons I have come fitting with lights in them. It's not an option I would choose, but they come as standard now. If you mean a gas blowtorch, I have soldered with my blowtorch set-up, but very rarely on Slot cars (unless silver soldering). The 4" angle grinder is a great tool IF USED CAREFULLY. You need to keep the metal quenched in water to keep it cool and if cutting in you hand, let the disc (1mm) do the cutting and feel it cutting. DON'T force the cut, that's where you can get into trouble! Also keep your fingers and eyes out of the path of a shattering disc (just incase!) The flap wheel I'm using is an 8o grit disc, it's awesome for gently shaping with no stress on the parts rather than hacking away with a hand file! The lathe will be fun, remember, keep your tooling sharp, take light cuts and keep the cutter at or a little less than the centre line of the work. Have fun 🙂

Rob, I simply don't know what to say. I'm just going to retire to the drawing room and fondle my pearl handled revolver.

I'm a brit and having guns in the UK is NOT an easy thing, but I do actually have a Revolver (all legal). Mine has wooden grips, not as pretty as pearl, but then mine is BP, so it's cool as hell 😀 Thank you for the comment 🙂
