Hi All,

Dropped the "Groudle" stage pic as it nears completion here:

Have to say I've got the bug and will be planning a routed track for next build.

Still not to late to sign up and book your place at the Manx Rally too.

Hi

Does have anybody know a particular shade of paint that would be effective for my expanding foam that is going behind the hairpins on my stage and on the hill climb?

Basically I want it to look like a rock face, possibly going to sprinkle dried grass and heather on it, will try it, to see how it looks but need a base colour. A light grey I was thinking. We have a B&Q over here so I can get a shade mixed up if anybody knows a suitable colour please.

The board & boarders are matt black offset with small pine trees, hay bales and small rocks etc for contrast and because of the length of the track I cannot do all of it, so concentrating mainly on the run up between the two hairpins and main climb.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris

As the man who has nearly everything, I have some grey paint, will bring along tomorrow night.

Cheers

Spangy, there are some very good rock building threads dotted about, I know Dave went nto some good details from about here onwards

And doncatwalker has some great bits in his build here.

Both were very well assisted with tips from ember along the way.
Have a good root around tracks and scenery, there's some corkers in there, including "Three year itch"

cheers.

I got a couple of tester pots from the local builders and just tried splashing the different shades here and there. You might not think it looks right to start with but just keep at it.

Hi,

Are we all set with timing devices for saturday guys? I have just ordered myself an n-scorer (long overdue) hopefully arrives in time.

Cheers

[Aberstone]

If you are stuck we can bring two (maybe three) N Scorers from Wye valley. (Will need batteries )

Cheers - Phil

Hi Phil

I have a Ninco Scorer, plus the DS200 Lap timer, but if you have the space Phil I don't think we can have too many but will check what the other guys have got and let you know late Thursday night if not before.

Thanks for the offer.

Chris
