View Full Version : Scale model of my track
I'm planning on setting up an Oak Creek 36 on a door, I wanted to play with elevation and scenery options. I made this small scale track to get a feel for how the full size track will look. The road is printed on paper, glued to a file folder then cut out. I sculpted three layers of 3/16 foam, colored the whole thing with Magic Markers, then glued down the track. Whole thing took 1 hour. Tell me what you think!

You should buy one of those clear cases for 1/24th scale model cars and mount it inside. Would make a neat conversation piece.

Seriously though, that is awesome. :thumbsup:

Not at all, quite flattered. Goodness knows I'm gonna steal my share of good ideas once I start construction.
Thanks for the compliments everyone!
Slott V 02-26-2007, 02:20 PM Is that a 1/64 scale model of a 1/64th slot car track? :freak: :p

Just kidding nice job. :thumbsup:
How about putting a car on it just to see how small it really is.
