Thanks Bruno, and a nice Christmas for you and your family too.
The BMW is made by fly and I really would like a Ford Capri to run against it, however it's a front engine setup and I really haven't had much success with setting up front engine vehicles.
And then it really needs a light kit if you ask me.
Looking forward to your update on this years Christmas present for your self
I remember last year and the massive amount of kits you had bought.
happy new year to all.

Great atmosphere Lars! I do like the lighting, really adds to it Great idea to make the lights recessed, way more realistic effect.
I always use cheap Xmas lightchains when it comes to lighting the track - nowadays you can even buy LED-strings for a few euros and those lights are so tiny and shiny!
I wish i had the space to make a permanent track and go deeper into finer modelling like yours, taking my time and working on a track for longer time... *sigh*
Cheers!

p.s. for filming: ask a friend to film the happening when you are driving, worked for me ;-)

Absolutely fantastic.... and breathtaking.
Like everyone said, the lights give an extra excitement and create a fantastic atmosphere in the shopping mall. I also enjoyed the U turn on the top of the track, that looks like a cassino roulete.
looking forward for updates!
cheers

Looks great Lars, and with the cold weather and snow in Denmark (I am in Copenhagen for a few days) I guess you should get plenty of time to work on your tracks

Could you do a vid without all the external lights on? Only with the small spots/Leds and lights from the cars. Would that work and be sufficient?
[Btw. *Run Like Hell* by Pink Floyd could suit as soundtrack somewhere in the background?]

Hi and thanks RonMcRain
I'll do a night drive when I have installed lights in the two other layers.
Youtube sometime nuke the soundtrack if it's copyrighted music so I usually make my own or nothing at all.
funnily though I just found this on youtube.(Wonder how it survived a year there??)
Cool link
(Hint: if you want "Run Like Hell" go to 1:16.22)
it reminded me of this though:

I'm real happy for the snow.
It's great with my kid and he loves it so actually my time is rather limited.
enjoy your stay.

stay warm sig
Ouch I'll burn my chuppy fingers on a shopping cart but it would be cool thanks for the idea. (You should be making furniture this way after all you are the expert (stackable chairs ala Arne Jacobsen)
I'm starting on a kitchen unit soon.
I have seen the GTI site before and I like the look of that track(The architect look I call it), the thing is that I'm too untidy to ever do something like that. (not to mention keep it looking that way)

Great vid tho

You can't keep those crazy Rally spectators/Photographers away from a good crash spot.
And I'm not much for safety regulations anyway.
