Hello everybody,

Like I said in my "welcome post", here is the post where I'll share with you all my build adventures about this RC track.

It began on 2008 by an idea of my wife about to have a walking pathway under trees at the side of the house.

The original project was not necessary an rc track and look like this:

Image



Some diggings and trees oblige us to think about a new way of route around the trees and the project look like this:

Image

This drawing is not exactly a shot of the reality ;) (just a thinking)

On 2009, it look like this :

Image
Image

At this moment, the guidelines are based:

Image
Image
Image


On May 2010, i continue to cut off some trees en thinking about to make some different levels of this track:

Image
Image
Image


On 2011, the same type of work waiting for me before the big digging time:

On May 2011, this big digging time is coming ;) :

At the end of May, the first meters of stone walls were made:

On April 2012, I asked about 2 or 3 dump truck of to the head of the road maintenance.

2 days after this what i find at home : :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Image
Image
Image


AROUND 10 OR 11 DUMP TRUCK !!!!!! (not 2 or 3...)

And after long thinking my wife and I had an idea to us the leveling courses of grass;

Some FRANKENSTEIN'S lawn ;)

Image
Image



2 month after, it grows:

Winter 2012-2013:

Nothing on 2013:

AND : "WINTER IS COMING" :

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image



Restart on February 2016, I need a podium to be safe for driving and I have a secret plan:

Image


For this secret plan, I need to raise some stone walls:

Now, the secret plan of the podium is at is middle stage ;)

Now that you've finished that simple weekend project, how about adding a pyramid?

I'll get you started with a plan. Note the following features:
1) Small pyramids provide the dog a cool place to hangout
2) Secret passageways to store your valuable RC vehicles
3) Boat Pits - Who doesn't need a good boat pit:)

Very impressive work Trass!!!
