greaat work Pwalk, and i noticed you dared post in the mother of all threads.... the alberta one!

heh, hard track = good track... no zipping around riding the rails with a 3.8 at top speed.... hehe...

since you already made a rally track, (you COULD make tahiti maze from GT3, but that'd be hard)... you could try to make a nice scale Real track... a simpl(er) one to make would be laguna seca... lotsa straights, and a few good corners that NeEd braking... heh, i was thinking of making this , but i chickened out... it'd have to be about the size of my basement to be scale... =(

seeing that skill you have with making tracks, im pretty confident you could pull it off tho... are you familiar with that particular course?

I am very familiar with Laguna Seca. I don't know if I have enough room to do a true scale model for it, but I would love to
incorporate turns 7, 8, and 8A into my next project, which looks like it will be a road course.

For those who play GT3 on the PS2 turns 7 and 8 are on the back end of the course where following a 1/4 mile straight you make a hard left, hit a small downhill, then a equally tough right.
It's a great piece of raceway.

Thx Pie for the great idea.

np ^_^

heh, you mean the corkscrew? ahh that damn turn gets me everytime... 700 hp is just too much.... ><"

heh either that.. (cuz it's so much fun!) or midfield... the 2 long straights means you can use higher than a 2.6, and a few evil tight corners and sand pits! hehe

So Many Questions...

Ayte, I have a few questions...

1. Can we get a COMPLETE list of supplies? And Possibly Prices ...

2. Is there a possibility that you can post procedure? (ex: First, glue the foamboard together, THEN carve it after it dries...)

3. Any expert's advice on makin' this track, like how the cars run on the clay (or whatever you used) and how bad the wear and tear is on the track, oh, and the size. Hmm, and where you got the trees, or whatever you made them out of. And how bout tellin' us how you drive on it, because makin' that second uphill turn looks like you have to drive, then back-up while turning, and turn more... How much tilt they can handle would be good too, and did you end up usin' the baby powder, or makin' a spot where the track tilts?

Thx fer the answers in advance...

-Bob

You are inspiration!!! I wanted to build a track but space was my deciding factor. I originally thought you needed a lot of space. Guess 2x4 would do so I'm off to plan a rally track for myself (go rally!).

Ok, first off the materials list:

1 Package of Styroboard (styrofoam used for insulation) bought at Home Depot: $5

All Purpose craft glue (Brand Name "Tacky Glue") on sale for $1

Utility Knife...$3 preferably with a 4" blade if you can find one.

Crayola Model Magic... about $3 a pack and I used 3 small packs basically. DON'T USE PLAY-DOH, it will crack upon drying and then it looks like crap!

2'-4' piece of 1/4" thick Hard Fiberboard used for the base, $3 @ Home Depot, you can find it a number of sizes. I used this size to save on space.

Assorted Tempera Paints, $1.50 a bottle. Tempera cleans up real nice, it's water based and CHEAP!

Plaster of Paris, got 8lbs. for $5... another good deal, but difficult to work with. If I had to again I would just buy more Clay.

As for the trees? go out to your back yard and grab some twigs, then go to your local Arts and Crafts store and buy this stuff called "DEER MOSS". You can find it where they make floral presentations. Only $2.50 a bag and you'll only need one!! I just wandered upon it, what luck. Also you can buy cheap sponges from a Dollar store and shred them up. and if you want grass just tear the green pad off the sponge and use it.

I will cover the construction procedure and how to run on the thing in my next post, right now I'm back to work!!! LOL
