Wow Dave.. The details are coming together in such a great way.
I love the 'authorized personnel only' area and the lighting.. but I
think my favorite update is the pillows! Really cool material~

Wow, that looks great Dave! I really like the lighted pits and that resting place is genius!

A silly update but something I needed to finish before I go any further: Lane striping!

When you can't find 1/4" tape
Locally - just slice 1/2" tape with an xacto. It doesn't have to be pretty as you only need the good edge. I freehand my tape as tracks back in the day were not remotely perfect. BTW - this was a ton of taping!!!

I use a small brush to slap it on and peel the tape fairly quickly thereafter. I use the cheap Applebarrel paint from Walmart.

And a few hours later...

With a little grime in the corner:

Still have weathering and cracks to do but it is getting there!

Oh! I also started my next spectator area:

Looking really good. It's all the "little" things combined that set the stage.

Maybe I should come out and help?

The track is coming to life, looks great

I like how the sign is hanging by one side only, that's how most of them looked :text-bravo:

Great looking update shots! :D

The "resting place" adds a little something to the track and it's varied scenarios.Thank you again for letting me contribute to your scenic features that brings PDR to life.

Thanks! Can't wait to get going again.

Cliff - thanks to your awesome work it really works well!

That is very cool. I like the fence too, is that bamboo mat? The Corvairs look awesome on the track. Jim
