Well Mountain Raceway, - edition "Klondyke" for those summer Bar'B'Cues Options

[Graham Lane]

When I first saw those trees I thought 'What is this guy on?'. Now I see that in fact they are inspired! What a great idea and I'm sure a lot of people will be copying them.

Thanks Graham.
We can't all be like tileguy, knoath, or the numerous other scenery gurus like yourself on this forum.
But the idea that you can actually find everything needed for doing sceenery, outside in the "real world" kinda apeals to me. (apart from the paint and the hairspray)

As to what kind of medication that I'm on, I just try to stay sedated, and on a creative rush:-) .... and then something about variation, and nature not being perfect, and patina(guess you guys call it weathering), or degration, Mutation through a whole life etc.etc and a whole spree of other influences such as music, my sons entusiasm, and freinds.

Since the beginning of my litle project I've had two types of sceenery visions in my head(Not that I'm gonna do them but anyway here they come):
1. The Black, white and grey architect approach, with all new buildings done in white cardboard, kinda like a big model of an "Complete Area Make Over"
2. The post Neuclear war zone/Mad Max wasteland with burned houses and trees approach.

I havn't really seen anything like the 2 mentioned ideas above, so if anyone reading this, knows of such projects I would love to see some links.

Since I'm not a Forum + member I can't embed the video in this post(correct me if I'm wrong, and tell me how to), but I did a couple of labs that you can see here:

Well all good things must come to an end,
I packed the track away( or put it in stacks ready for new adventures on the rugs of Well Mountain.

I've had different visitors from around the world during the summer and Jan from Holland did this :-)


So for good measure and log keepings sake I'll finish this thread of with some final images.
this thread actually starts here.

Overview of the final creature, it differs a bit from the initial build :-) I've been finetuning it untill the end.


I've included a huge one on my flicker acount that you can see here:

The room that you are using just goes to show how robust and versatile Scalextric is

If you kept there over the winter, would you be able to get ice on the track for that genuine winter race feel?

It may be hard to control the cars wearing ski gloves!

I was very supprised that noting really happend to the track, except from dust, dust and more dust.
Actually, when I had taken it all down, the same night we had a rain storm, and the classic selection, got all soaked in water due to holes in the windows close by. :-(

But they survived aswell :-)
hopefully I'll get to do something to this room over the winter so it'll be of better use next summer.

Cheers & enjoy life to the max.

Wow! What a fantastic job you´ve done mate!
Please don´t let your spirit down because of the fate of nature! Get back to work and recover the track.

And I believe you should take advantage of the coming christmas and get some nice good priced plastic christmas trees ,make little pine trees and add on your track. I´ll do that!
..so next summer you´ll have a lot more to do!
cheers!

Thx Mr. Cerante, I can only aspire to your level of sceenery wizardry.

You can pretty much run over your old scalextric track with a Panzer Tank or tractor and still bend it back in shape and run it, prior to building this track some of it had been lying around the loft for about 20+ years.

Some WD40 took care of it and it was up an running in a couple of hours.

Conserning the trees :-) this was my first effort, :-)
but check this link and you'll see that I've developed them further :-)

Havn't tried the toilet paper yet. :-)

Keep up your exelent work :-)
