Here is a look at my newest project still have some detailing to do to the sceanary. I bout the 18 inch curves when they first came out with the track in mind. It is on a hollow core door, I had to add 1/2 to the sides so I could add the curve skirts.

Awesome as usual Roger :thumbsup:

Love that pit stop scene.

AFXTOO, try Tamiya (sp?) paint for polycarbonate (lexan) RC bodies. That paint has to remain flexable so it will not crack, chip or peel. It is available in brush or rattler. Also, I washed all of my rails in mild soapy water to cut the oil on the plastic.

That's really neat.

I'd like to avoid a spray paint (winter) so the Krylon Fusion is out at least until spring.


AFX,
I use cans in the winter. Just warm them up under a hot water tap before I venture out to spray. Actually worked so well the first time I sparyed from a heated can that I warm them up in the summer too. Makes for a finer mist, little more pressure and leaves a nice smooth coat. You still have to do it in light multiple coats.

CAUTION: Don't do this. I tried warming up a can once with water heated in a microwave, little too hot I guess. The cool can got over pressurized and expanded and popped the valve. Could have been real messy, but I was outside and it was clearcoat. :eek:

Oh yeah, great door track Roger. Especially like the pit lane you added! :thumbsup: rr

Hey Rog-

A good looking set-up.
I have a nice city scene I was planning to use as a backdrop, myself. It sure makes for a nicer looking set-up.

It’s good to see this project coming along.

Now when are you going to take care of my car body problem? :confused:

It’s been dragged out for over a year :rolleyes:, and I feel I've been more than patient —please email or PM me with some kind of update, or just send me back my money. I would like a reply asap.
Thank you.



Cheers..

I finished all the backdrops and installed them. I added guard rail to the backstarigh backdrop by cuttting off the feet on the gurad rail posts painting them the fastening them to the backdrop with Fun TAC. I wanted a way to remove them if I messed up without destroying the paper backdrop. I plan on adding two billboards to the backdrop to give it a little more depth

Very cool layout Roger!
The cars, worn in infield and pit lane all looks great. Man I gotta try sumthin like that someday! And ultimately I bet she's a blast to rip laps on! The 2 guys in the foreground in that last pic do look like they are using our emergency method of track watering if the truck breaks down!

Later--- Circle Track DAC

Roger- Thanks for the pics. The backdrop and guardrails look great and the cars look awesome!

Roger- What are you charging these guys for premium billboard space? These ads are being viewed by hundreds in the hobby!

It really adds to the scene. Keep the pics of the progress coming!

Speaking of billboards... I've been digging through the plethora of computer junk that I've amassed over the years of building systems and came across a number of old 3.5" and 5.25" drive bay blank covers. They look like they'd be about a perfect size for billboards.


Thanks Two! Thats a awesome idea..

Looking really good, Rog.
May we have a new over-all pic like the first one that you posted? Would love to see how it has all been coming together.
