Whist waiting a few days for the plaster sheets to dry and harden I decided to start assembling some of the many accessories I’ve been collecting.
Benches, toilets, arcade machines and a 1.32 scale miniature slot car track to go in the Fanzone.
I’ll add more photos later of where the track is up to.
That looks fantastic - I'd love to have a permanent set up like that and I still have my son's Scalextric set (which I added to quite a bit).
Hang on, three kids grown up and gone - we have three spare bedrooms now...... hmmmmm.

Time for some updated photos:
Fairground ( as every motorsport event always has a couple of rides)
It’s powered up and the rides work.
Lots of figures to be added once they’re painted.
The other end of the track, scenery is starting to take shape. Hours of laying grass and gravel and hand painting blue and yellow squares for the kerb edges.
On the outside of the track the farmer is busy washing his dirty Land Rover.
Currently making more catch fencing to go on a couple of the corners to stop cars flying off into scenery.
3d printed posts ( not made by me), mesh, and the wire is old bicycle gear wire stripped from the tubing and run through holes in the top of the posts.
Bit time consuming but well worth the effort. It actually looks like barbed wire once in place.
Overall shot of where it was up to at weekend.
Few more bits done since but will keep the updates coming.

Love the track and your attention to detail (just like your motor) The fence looks real and the Landrover being washed is very neat.
What a great winter hobby! Looking forward to seeing those Cupras running round
I am up in the north of Norway and saw this and thought of your setup (they have a much bigger room)
No

Better get a few more updated photos of mine on.
Tyre barriers made and installed.
And test fitting track to make sure it all still fits.
Assembled the martini house in the corner from a kit, then cut the back corners off it to fit tighter into the corner.
The gravelled area on the inside is going to have stands and stalls eventually.
The famous Dunlop bridge and some tarmac scatter between track and pit lane.
Also tarmac scatter behind where the pit building is going.
Some of the trucks need painting yet, just testing for size.
Probably the best overall shot as it stands at the minute.
Main thing is, It’s now up and running!

Fantastic, very jealous do you have any plans to put in some lights and other electronic stuff
There’s going to be lights in the pit building and a couple of security lights in the paddock.
May put some around the track eventually, not sure yet.
To be honest the car headlights look great when it’s dark.
Fantastic pics, lots of realism showing...not sure about the palette knife in the last pic .
.
Yes fantastic and I never even noticed a giant had left his craft tool, till Yern mentioned it.
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.
