Pinewood Derby Decals: Derby Cars, Stickers And Prices

Published: November 21, 2007

Pinewood derby, a popular annual Cub Scout event, has gone a long way since Cubmaster Don Murphy started it in 1953. From plain and simple pine wood blocks with wheels, the vehicles used in pinewood derby are now colorful and well-detailed miniature works of art crafted by young scouts and their families. While shaping, cutting and sanding give the cars their shape and form, the fine and realistic details of real racecars can be achieved using paints and some pinewood derby decals.

Pre-cut bodies for pinewood derby racecars are major improvements to the design and features. However, pre-cut racecar bodies may still look dull and lifeless without colors, embellishments, custom parts and details. Paints of all shades and colors can definitely brighten up a plain and boring pinewood derby car, but the stickers complete the look of a finely-detailed miniature racecar.

As established by Cubmaster Don Murphy, pinewood derby cars also embody the craftsmanship and creativity of a Cub Scout and the people who have helped him build his racecar. Therefore, decals are beautiful accents and embellishments that help racers and modelers come up with more creative designs. Because these accessories are inexpensive - from $2.95 to $4 - young racers don't have to worry about expensive prices.

After racers have painted their pre-cut pinewood derby racecar bodies, they can choose from a wide range of stickers to accentuate their miniature racecars. Pinewood derby embellishments are available in various themes and designs, including animal themes, unique logos and officially licensed themes. There are even designs to jazz up the car wheels!

Animal themes and designs are some of the most common and popular decorations available for most pinewood derby racers. Animal prints such as leopard skin, zebra stripes and bear fur are just some of the most unique themes for emblems, instantly giving cars a wild and powerful visual appeal.

Officially licensed adornments are also very popular among young racers. NASCAR dry transfer or rub-on stickers are some of the best picks. These sets include cool and colorful stripes, numbers and graphics that will definitely jazz up a pinewood derby car in seconds.

Racers can even create themes for their cars, employing both paints and decals to create mini police vehicles or mini Ferraris. The possibilities are endless, and racers or modelers are only limited by their imagination or creativity.

There are hundreds of pinewood derby emblems that can be used by racers to turn their dull, mini racecars into speeding emblems of creativity. Since the prices of emblems are very affordable, racers don't need to worry about the costs of these quick and easy design materials.
