You're doing a good job of getting plenty of track into the space you're allowed Scoot.

I've been curious about the SCX Raid track since I first saw it advertised. Looks like a bunch of fun.

Check out RallyP's most recent tracks for landscaping ideas.

I can see a few sand dunes and dry waterholes coming your way. Some dead trees. A few sun bleached skeletons.

Ord River scheme? Lush green oasis in the middle of nowhere.

How about a Far North Queensland tropical rainforest? The SCX 'oasis' piece just becomes a stream crossing.

Sorry, probably getting carried away now.

Are we talking ancient aboriginal settlement (around here they actually built dry stone round houses not dissimilar to the British stone age variety, just much smaller) or modern corrugated iron humpy in a dry river bed a la Todd River? Ooooh.... I'm gonna get in soooooooooo much trouble.

I'm really not the one to talk to on painting track, as I haven't done so. I'd guess some sort of primer would be required. The middle, decorative layer I can advise on, but that would then require a protective top coat.

I know what I'm planning on doing with mine if I go ahead, but then I'm again, not sure about the priming/undercoat side of things. I'm going to clear coat with PlastiDip if I do finish up painting the track.

Seems like you're having fun Scoot. Good start. The piece of track that splits around a hole, looks like a good place for a big anthill/termite mound.

 

[Ember]

Scoot, the lawn needs mowing.

Ok. Gotta ask, what is it? Colour and length looks really good.

Yup. Even when you think it has finished expanding it seems determined to give it another burst.

Still can't get over how good that faux grass looks. Even down to the dead thatch.

Anything is a possibility. But first I'd have to find a source of it. Really though, if I were doing a dedicated raceway or a commercial track I'd definitely be considering it.

It's alive!! Looks like fun. Have you tried anything else on it? Wouldn't you like to see a 2CV going around?
