You got the idea man!
We've got grand stands, announcer's tower, advertisements, etc. I'm thinking combining 'train modeling' techniques with 'bit track' building techniques would render some awesome tracks. The buildings, grass, hills, roads, etc. so much detail, that'd be friggin' too cool! Now, what can we use for an oil slick or ice patch? Love your idea on blocking off streets too, I'm already imagining a scene from the Fast and the furious! :) Using those cross-sections of streets, theoretically, you could block off certain streets to make an entirely new course on the same track! Oh man - now that'd be awesome! You've got my mind reeling now. |
For the ice slick and slick section i mentioned that counter top laminent... thats pretty slick crap and comes in ANY color. Also could use thin pieces of vynal tile or vynal flooring (also comes in any color).
I like the idea of building a city... that would offer infinent street tracks... although id be upset if someone lost it, jumped a barrier and smashed my model building or such... but who cares thats even MORE real! You could hang a video camera above the track too to catch all the action! |

Hey for building a city we had thought about printing out pictures of skyscrapers from the 'net and glueing them to tall skinny milk cartons. (keepin' it cheap ;) ) |
:eek: Killboy thats GENIOUS!! You could make all kinds of buildings that way!!
AWESOME! |

I thought this would be a good place to post some more pictures of our track. The track features working lights, a lap timing system, traction control in the corners and it folds in half for tansportation. It will be on display at the Canadian Hobby Show in Toronto on November 7-10th

That's a fun track, hadn't thought of lego.:)
I'm working on a folding track at the moment, an 8'x4' that folds to two 4'x2'x4" boxes with carry handles. Will post some pics when it's finished. |
Just seen that tinyrc has a lego track, how'd I miss that before?:rolleyes:

OK,
Here is a link to just one of my videos to wet everyone's whistle :D :D. It's in quicktime format. I'am going to make a thread dedicated to my track soon. Enjoy DTM-X4 you may want to right mouse click and do a save as |

I'm new to this board, my first post. My boss just told me about these cars and now I'm addicted. I started my track today and have made it so that I can have four different tracks by removing certain sections. I still have a lot of work to do. I have to stripe and paint the track and board along with a few other things. Will post more pice when finished.

So far so good. I think the track is looking ok. The track is made of two layers on pressed hardwood from Lowes. It's the stuff like you would use on top of a work bench. Also it's the same stuff peg board is made of. The bottom is a 4' x 8' sheet. There is another layer on top the I Rotoziped the track into and glued it down to the bottom piece. I still have some more painting to do. Like I mentioned in my first post, one of the cool things is that there are removeable pieces giveing me 4 track variations. Here is another pic.
