Malomay 28 Report post Posted May 10 Hey all, so, some more small improvements. I've been working on improving the look of the pit/control tower area to fit the period & track I'm trying to highlight. My very basic scenic building skills are highly evident in these, but anyway, here we go ! first, the control tower & pits I did up hoping to capture the feel of the tower & pits at the start finish line at the Longford track. Looking something like this: http:// The original tower being 3 story would have looked too high & out of place on the track, so I scaled it to 2 levels, but tried to still capture the feel of it. using foam board, Publisher & basic laser printing..... http:// 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malomay 28 Report post Posted May 10 The finished product replaced the standard scalex control tower (which looked very much out of place) http:// The pits were adapted from a Greenhills garage kit & includes the open top level spectator stand above the pits (which is where my Dad and uncle watched the 1965 Australian Grand Prix from, and saw Bruce McLaren win from Jack Brabham is one of the great GPs of all time) http:// And a couple of overall shots down the Pit straight.... http:// http:// 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bov 12 Report post Posted May 11 (edited) That's remarkable modelling - we're very envious ! Question - if you were to paint the Scalextric Track, what would be recommended? Prep and type of paint? Asking for a friend, as we say... Or, to put another way - my own track is Scalextric Sport, and is copped taped and partially painted - but I think it can be done better..... Ideas, people? Edited May 11 by bov Quote Cheers, Tony. There's only two questions: 1. What direction do you go 2. What's the Lap Record? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalbfellp 82 Report post Posted May 14 Well done. I think you are becoming a real modeller, now for some more people around the track. Quote Phil Hobart Miniature Car Club Tassie Resins Email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
