Kev, you are telling your father about how closely we are all watching this, right? He should know how much we admire this.

Small update today..

The real building at Lime Rock sits well back off the racing track and behind the end of pit road..
Since I am using it right along pit road I asked Dad to build a bridge that would overhang the inside lane of the track
so I could use it as a starters stand.. Need to find a cool flagman to put in there~

He's making lots of scale beams this week for the roof area..picture below is some of them.
He also drew up the plans for the little square room up top.

I got to see it in person Tuesday.. It's going to be amazing when it's finished :handgestures-thumbup:

Hi Kev, still watching, still awestruck.
And I like the idea of the Starters bridge,, fits in very well.
Looking great.

hey Cliffie,
you should make him one of your fabulous dioramas in 1/32 for a corner of his track! then he'll have it all.

Here's the upper room in real life:
