RE: Dutch Trio Track - rallyhub - 28th-Dec-21

Hi Tony and Anthony,

Let's start with some pictures of the construction process:

[attachment=20324][attachment=20325]
Drawing the track on two 8mm mdf plates 2.44mx1.22m. 2x6 times 10mm vertical multiplex base strips inside the outer frame.

[attachment=20326][attachment=20327]
The first outer track part is glued, screwed and clamped to the base frame. The first half of the entire track is glued, screwed and clamped.

[attachment=20328][attachment=20329]
The second construction frame is glued and screwed against the first one. The unfinished track placed on its side.
As a result, the overall dimensions grew to 4.88mx1.22m.

Only a small piece of track to fasten.       Some walls added.

Filling and sanding.                                 The making of ruin bend.

Ruin Bend taking shape.                                                      A castle was too high for the folding race track, so it became a ruin.

I like that ruin bend Bigsmile

, when I asked re how are you fixing your track so it doesn't move when folded away.
I had it in my head it was a scalextric track, off course it's a wooden one Rofl

I was already wondering, but anyway, thank you for liking the track Sun

Here are the following pictures of the contruction process:

Cobblestones under the damaged tarmac.           The first layer of paint.

Hi Hub,
with your wire mesh that you have used for structure on the mounds etc, have you tacked those to the base with a staple gun?
Enjoying seeing the pics.

RE: Dutch Trio Track - rallyhub - 2nd-Jan-22

Hi Tony,

I nailed the mesh, but using a staple gun is also an option. Thumbup
