Yngwie Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 That is looking fantastic Dick. Congratulation on a great piece of work. BTW, where did you get the templates for the street signs. I have been looking for a while and cant find the Strayan ones, just American and European. Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ember Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Love that first shot of today's series. And it seems like Australia has a new 'big thing' on it's tourist trap list. Yngwie, any ideas which ones you want? I've, not surprisingly, probably got most of them. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

knoath Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Nathan, I don't have the control box at my place atm, so even if I did have it sorted, I'd have no timing anyway. The track is rewired and running, lapping fine. I was suprised to read this piece of sarcasm: i mean we need a pub on the track when we have a v32 race, dont we Hmm... spotlights working fine.... tell me if it's too bright. Once Slotts got some time I will get him over to look at some of the other timing programs, so Stopline may have called its last track call here! Oh, Moe....

knoath Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Haven't had a lot of time out in the room, but a bit here and a bit there. I have started on a church at Jack's request, (Modelling loosely off one a few K's from home in an undeveloped area, still quite rural...) Also Jack's Fresh Fish 'n' Chip shop (!) and there'll be a bakery and a butcher's along the same lines as the general store. I had a go at making the footpaths last night. Using foamboard I put down a layer of joint compound a few weeks ago. I scribed some expansion joints with the sharp end of a bamboo skewer, then added some cracking in the corners of the concrete. The joint compound is an off white/cream colour, so I made up a very light black/grey wash and brushed it on, dragging a cloth over it to add some streaking. The cracks have taken the wash a little darker and I must say I was pretty happy with it. I have the pub and general store sitting on one section, I'll get a pic tonight. I think I need a week off work to get stuck in, but I doubt that will happen any time soon. I'll get some pics tonight if anyone wants them.

knoath Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Here's a few pics of the concrete... after 24hrs it seems the detail has been absorbed by the joint compound so I might have to go over it with a fine brush.

rhino-aus Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Looking awesome mate , just wondering if you can chuck a shearing shed in there somewhere for me . Quote RELAX WITH A HOBBY.....................YEAH RIGHT ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoath Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Tell you what Jarrod, you supply some pics of the outside and a few of the inside too, and I'll do it! It'll have to be a small one though as I'm running out of room and I don't want it to end up looking like a Pommy loft track! Too cluttered... you know?
