Hiding the track joints will not be easy due to the expanding and contracting of the track parts.

Hub

Hub - it takes several iterations of paint but it seems to be holding up at the moment. Begs the question - do I paint the track once decorationg is done?

Some progress - started repainting and detailing and laying down static grass. The applicator runs off 2x 1.5v batteries, but I am sure there is some electronics holding and increasing the voltage to create the static electricity. I inadvertantly touched the empty sieve to my lips (as one does) - and man did I feel it. And I did NOT have my hand on the on switch Rofl

Start with colour - no grass.

Some grass added (can see some of the covered joints)

Before decorating, I would apply the base painting to the track.
After decorating the track can be finished in harmony with the rest of the scenery.

Some updates

[attachment=17289][attachment=17290]

Just the start of the scaffolding that was so common at Kyalami in the 60/70's

A little more detailing (PS can you see the joints in these pics Sun

? )

[attachment=17292]

I am not sure if this drip feed of the process - in pictures - interests you - should I just put up pics when completed??

RE: Belgian Kyalami - my New Revell Track - Top Down - 23rd-Aug-21

Drip feed is fine. We can see progress that way, not a sudden leap to the finished object.

Keep dripping! Thumbup

RE: Belgian Kyalami - my New Revell Track - Anthony B - 28th-Aug-21

Ok so the drip continues...... Cool

I have sent a lot of new scenic items to my daughter in the UK whom we are visiting next month Sun

One of the items waiting for me is this:

Which I will attempt to convert into this:

[attachment=17456]

That is the Iconic Springbok contol tower (in the Background) that was there for virtually the entire life of the first track. When I saw this Magnetic Racing tower it was the answer to my desire to build a replica.

In the meanwhile the adding of detail and upgrade continues.....

A lot of invisble work has been going on - mainly electrical - adding some additional power jumps - has made a huge difference to driving te track

In the meantime painting of spectators has restarted up - thought I had enough - but once I started working out where the ones I had would go it became apparent i was drastically short. So 160 new ones from China arrived and I have started the painting while I wait to get all the scenic details from my daughters place :)

You like brightly coloured clothes like they were worn in the 1970s. Thumbup

lol as I was painting I was thinking - the women must be French with all the bright colours they seem to choose Rofl
