I do like the look of the open Daytona pits. that might be the way to go coming out of that turn, thanks David.

No sweat! I just built a rectangle from styrene I-Beam, glued the roof on (Plastruct corrugated) and then glued the styrene tubes to the structure. Then I drilled some holes for the tubes, and voila!

Lloyd - that is a heck of a nice pit area!

hey guys
got some texture put down with some woodland scenic grasses and foliage. looking less like painted plaster now. that was driving me nuts :lol: I knew I shouldn't have wired it till the scenery was done. got some work done on the pit area as well. I will post the pics as soon as I fugure out how. keep getting error 406 :think:

That is looking great! And you know I can't resist those cars! Awesome job so far!

[pfuetze]

Awesome scenery work, Mickey!
looking really great!
you need to route some holes for the guides in the pit area, to keep the cars from standing front up.

and the most important question - how does the track run?

thanks guys
Peter I thought of doing that but then there is a hole if there isn't a car. I kinda like the look of them resting on their guides. kinda like you see in pics of slot tracks from the 60's, nostalgic, knowhatimean :lol:

[pfuetze]

you could put a cover over the hole, shaped like an oil puddle that just leaked out.
cut out of PETG 0,02", painted black from the rear side ...
only spilling out the ideas ...

[transam6870]

ah I do like that idea. oh and the track runs awesome. nice flow and the front straight is nice and fast. get the timing hooked up and I am ready for a proxy finally.
