Scalextric/ Slot car track build

[Railwayman]

Been working on a couple of bits over the summer, in between the car shows and other outdoor things that take over the summer months.
The darker nights are on the way so the track build will progress a bit more hopefully.

Had a few of these Scalextric modern looking grandstands. So I made them into something a bit more Le Mans style grandstand.

Stuck them together, made a new sloping plywood roof and clad in some corrugated floor protection.
Spray painted in concrete effect paint then painstakingly hand painted the seats blue individually.
Enough figures to fill the bottom half at this point but always on the look out for more.
Only buy them used cause it would cost a fortune to fill that with new ones.

Pit lane building also given an extension, still lots of details to go on this yet but now in place.
The Le Mans podium and Rolex signs are amazing 3d printed items I bought ready built. They really add to the effect.

Looking fantastic!

Agreed this is some build it looks so real, you will have to do a video of the motors running around when its all done.

Great Job

Its a bit like railway modelling. Someone at university use to build signal boxes in their room whilst the others went out and partied.

Something to be said about building from scratch bit like boats in bottles than buying trainsets, drilling holes through bedroom walls so the train could pass through plastic stout cable covers into the next room. An enhanced trainset taking over the top of the house. Hmmm my brother. Discovered when I was taking his house apart.

The video of the motors running around the track is a great idea and I would love to see that too. Keep up the good work as your builds are just out of this world, fantastic.
