Project Pinewood: Paint

Once I started this process I knew there was no turning back… So I thought about the goals: finish a Pinewood Derby Car to honor the Centennial of Scouting in America, do it in as thrifty a manner as possible, turn the Pinewood car into a travel bug to hopefully travel the world.

So after many starts but more stops than starts I have reached (after my initial deadline) the painting process. I had ideas plans, schemes but I finally decided on starting with a pretty basic color scheme that I’ll add to after Spring Break. including the detail pieces that I really want to have.

I decided to go with this idea. The base car is "oregano" which is the color my scout uniform was. The red, white & blue back end comes from the colors of the Eagle Scout badge/ribbon.
