I already answered alot a questions in a different post, so excuse the cut n paste
The dims are 4'x7'
lets see the track surface is 1/2" mdf, its heavy but its a permanent install, the grass is painted on, and I added spackle to make hills and to hide supports the track is about 6 to 8 coats of latex paint in 2 shades of grey and black first 4 or 5 coats are really thick with a heavy brush leaving brush strokes for traction
last two coats are cosmetic and they were sponged on. The barriers are .060 polystyrene cut to 1/4" strips and 1/2" angled alum. cut to 3/4" pieces stuck down with double sided tape, the barrels are 1/2" dowel cut down to half inch pieces painted red and striped with .1" white striping the signs are 1/2" mdf and dowels. I should have all the detail work done by this weekend and I'll post more pics then. If you have any questions or advice/ideas let me know.
Oh yea the big sign says Micro RC Grand Raceway - good for now.
PS. The polystyrene comes from a plastic supplier check your phone book under sign suppliers or buy some scrap from a local sign shop. Everything else came from Lowes.
