Hey Mark - long time no see buddy!

Once again you've set me laughing at your ingenuity - that's a cracker..

[Vinno]

Thanks Mark and good to see you again. I was only thinking last night, I will have to start going through your hints as my routed track is a couple of weeks from running.

I have started to mentally plan scenery.

[SJSlots]

Amazing what you don't think of! Another brilliant kit-bashing project.

[Sports Racer]

Got to hand it to you, that is really ingenious. Well done.

[slot king]

Cool clever use of stuff you find everyday.

SUUWEEEEEET

Well done! A different twist on track side scenery. Used to see track side cows at Bathurst! Something seems a little amiss. Oh yeh' CR#P, Cow cr#p, Its like peas and carrots!! Cows and Cr#p!! I've stepped in me fair share! Could see them being loaded up into a 1/32 scale NewRay PeterBuilt cattle truck?!

thanks for all the nice comments, im working on another t.v. tower built with wooden dowels and pieces i dont use when making the tech centers. [ i believe thats senic idea 24]. i would have answered sooner but, i had to do some sports consulting for a coaching friend of mine when he took his team to san diego, work in the morning, boogie boarding and feasting in the afternoon!

Way Cool, Very inventive.........ya'll got some World Class folks that are extremely creative in here.
I am truly impressed with your creativity Belles51.(Mark)............even if your from Arizona & not OZ

Thats definitly what we in the Model RR world would call EXTREME - KIT Bashing

The only additions I would consider would be Weathering this piece (But thats because I weather EVERYTHING.......except maybe some cars)
I also desheen scenery & structure elements with Testors Dullcote (see a collection of scenery posts in the track scenery forum. Theres a bit on improving plastic structures for realism that covers the basics )

Another great idea.

"How To Idea 40"

I must have missed a few.

Have you got them indexed anywhere, so we can refresh our minds?
