Looks awesome Ripper! What's the sign say? How about some details on the construction?

Dutch 11-06-2002 12:00 PM

Nice !!!
 
What's it made of ? We want Details :D

Im in the prosses of building 1 also

ripper7777777 11-06-2002 02:49 PM

ok,ok,ok, lets see the track surface is 1/2" mdf, its heavy but its a permanent install, the grass is painted on, and I added spackle to make hills and to hide supports the track is about 6 to 8 coats of latex paint in 2 shades of grey and black first 4 or 5 coats are really thick with a heavy brush leaving brush strokes for traction
last two coats are cosmetic and they were sponged on. The barriers are .060 polystyrene cut to 1/4" strips and 1/2" angled alum. cut to 3/4" pieces stuck down with double sided tape, the barrels are 1/2" dowel cut down to half inch pieces painted red and striped with .1" white striping the signs are 1/2" mdf and dowels. I should have all the detail work done by this weekend and I'll post more pics then. If you have any questions or advice/ideas let me know.

Oh yea the big sign says Micro RC Grand Raceway - good for now.

PS. The polystyrene comes from a plastic supplier check your phone book under sign suppliers or buy some scrap from a local sign shop. Everything else came from Lowes.

EcLiPSe 2.0 11-06-2002 03:15 PM

wow, looks like a real track, but smaller!!!

Kajoq 11-06-2002 03:20 PM

Id love to see a real track where the lanes crossed like that >: ) Anyways, whyd you have to post this you jerk? Now you made me feel all inferior... Jeez... I thought my track was good too LOL just playin, Thats VERY nice, very high level of polish

ripper7777777 11-06-2002 03:38 PM

Thanks, Kajoq, I still got a little polishing to do...
Well I just hinged the old table top back on so now all thats left is detail paint and some more sponsor decals, post pics soon...

And I would like to see a real track with crossing lanes or maybe half the cars could go one way and the other half the other way, it would either be the most death defying race or the world's slowest race.

Thanks Again

That really is a sweet track. And because it looks so good, it's OK that it's permanent.

I have only one question: Where's the spot to put your beer?:D

mjrusso45 11-06-2002 04:51 PM

Hmm makes my kitchen floor look like... a kitchen floor.

Man I suck. Too bad I'm lazy as well.

Excellent track. Kudos on all the hard work.
