Well Mountain Shopping Mall Rally

Superb concept. Can't wait to see the main structure be built around this track. Will really fool visitors when they come to race, I had enough trouble following the vid, expecting the car to go one way, and goes a completely different one

Chuppy chup 'till you drop brudder

That's a pretty fantastic layout. I'll watch this one develop with great interest!

Thanks all for the interest and kind comments.

2 wheel cars goes fine as well thanks, and cars goes a lot faster the other way around due to the steep entrance ramp and the not so steep exit ramp.
As to my 3 dimensional brain..I'm not too sure... hmmm well at least I dream in colour and with sound
Thanks

When driving for a fast lap, you really have to keep your eyes on the car at all times, and forgetting to count how many rounds you did in a layer will send you flying.

Now I realize that you have a rally theme in mind, but if you ever want to take a little break: promise me that you'll recreate the Ferrari parking garage scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

He he, I remember that one
I just hired the guy with the ponytail as Car Park Manager, I guess I shoud have checked his credentials a little bit better

I'm really in a dilemma as to how I'll decorate it.
On one side I can see it as this brand new Hi tech funkes parking lot with a helipad and a tower with a carousel cafeteria at the top.
On the other it could be somewhere deep in the hood, worn down with graffiti on the walls, burning barrels with people standing around, custom cars with those hydraulic jump thingies showing off, a looted and burned out car here and there, and some homeless people in the corners.

I'm thinking of making the facades in cardboard and attach them using Velcro tape then using photo textures on top of the cardboard maybe I could skin it differently from time to time ?????

thanks all

You're not kidding when you say you're fond of spaghetti

I like the seen-better-days, down and out 'hood flavouring idea for scenery myself. So many layers of texture available to play with. Still, you can always make it shiny new and hi-tech and just let the gangs move in and take over.

Either way, I expect to see a few Tuners with heavy graphics and large doof-doof sound systems to make an appearance.

Cheers

start with the underclass ghetto on the basement, up to the middle class wannabees and finally into the 3rd floor jet set hi flyers?
the game is in what layer do you fall off....or you reach the top and then woops right down to the bottom again...much like real life!

I love that one

I have actually been thinking a lot about Blade Runner while doing this layout as well as a comic book series written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Jean Girard Moebius called The Incal.
Even if your not into comics this is a must read anyway


Further more Fritz Lang's Black'n' White Metropolis has been lurking around in my mind.

Wooh .. now you're talking. There's some 6 or 7 parts to that one, Incal & Difool .. don't get the newer computer colored versions, that's butchering the fine tone or *aura* of the originals from 80-ies .. And btw. an apprentice to Moebius [Z Janetov I think] has been allowed to continue [digidraw] the series.

.. Uh-oh .. some replikants have just run amok in a parkinglot, Deckard. Get on the job ..

Love it!!

You need a Blues Mobile Psrrfh. Cop tyres... Cop suspension... etc etc

WOW!!! PSRRFH

Just found this thread, and was seriously impressed, but couldnt figure the "Well Mountain" connection as I'm sure there are no mountains in Denmark.

Then as I was checking out the youtube vid of connecting tracks I found the others you had posted....................................

Well Mountain is awesome

Nice to see my pal Malatwolves getting good results in the SCX proxy.

Look forward to seeing most posts on both of these as I am now seriously addicted to building a rally stage in a similair( although smaller) vane.

Thanks, I'll be looking forward for your build, when racing alone Rally is the perfect format, and if all the track is within reach you don't kill your self running to the end of the table to retrieve a stray car

The cars that Malatwolves entered for the proxy was very nice(Most of them were) especially his ferrari as it was so quiet and smooth as well as fast, and his Lancia Delta was just a monster on wheels(I think the real 1:1 thing was supposed to be unpredictable)
Next SCX round will be at one of oldslotracer's amazing tracks and I can't wait to see how the cars will do there.

thanks all for watching,
You guys have no idea of how boring it is to sit around starring at 3 floors of drywall mud drying. it's been all most a week now !!!! and then I'll have to wait for another week to work on it again. :-(

@RON
The Incal is just one amazingly good science fiction Comic, unfortunately I sold my comic book collection many years ago, still kicking my pretty behind to this day
