Track is looking great! Your Charger is looking good too! Nice work!

What are these?

Wire bent & then painted to replicate the air hoses in the pitlane. A couple of them need to be tweaked in the morning so they hang right but you get the idea. Next I need tires, fire extinguishers, tool boxes & some various hi tech looking clutter.

Now that is a slick detail!
Kudos sir!

Details make the difference -- and these are great details! Looking forward to the "high-tech clutter", too <g>.

Thanks,

I added pit stall numbers & a bit of pit clutter. I'll be making tool boxes later this week & will scatter a few of those as well. As I researched it as much as I'd like to add a bunch of interesting clutter most teams keep the pits fairly spartan. I will drill holes for the guides though so cars "parked" there will at least sit right.


People ask about the grandstands so here's the scoop on them. They are all scratch built. I used styrene & white foam core. The gantries hanging over the pits were made out of styrene & some Central Valley steel girders (HO Scale). The fuel & air hoses are bent wire. The crowd is actually 1/87th scale but I was able to buy a huge lot of them prepainted from China cheap so that's what I went with.

Questions?

This is just outstanding work. The overall look of your track is as good as it gets in any scale to me. The details are what really stands this apart from the rest. I had a large four lane HO layout, fully landscaped, and I know how much work it can be working in this scale.
The mirrored glass is perfect too.

Rolling tool boxes for the pit lane. I made these out of styrene strips. I even modeled them with some of the drawers open. Will paint them up & add some tools next.

Pretty darn slick idea!

[downtowndeco]

A little paint, a few tools & stickers & these are ready to add to the layout. Not perfect, but considering that they're about the size of a thumbnail I think they came out OK.

They may not be perfect in your eyes, but I think they look fantastic! The random open drawers and tiny tools really make these work. Great stuff, please keep it coming!

Thanks,

Will make a cool addition! :)
