Were you married to her too? Yeah, that is basically how that went down.

Oh man. Better get a masusse lined up. For when you decide to tackle that project.bud
I think all wifes are like that. Mine did the same. To my track and air hockey table. Turned them into catch all and laundry folding tables

The wife said, no!

One year, I've scored a bunch of every green trees during a post Xmas clearance. Got them for next to nothing!

Sorry, that should be 1/32. I had 1/24 on the brain because of this thread.

Getting that track back into shape will require a poop load of elbow grease! There are 4 lanes, and all the lanes are painted with spray paint, so the arduous cleaning process will severely ruin the paint....and make a huge mess! This process will also require me to be in that bent over position, so I know it's just going to kill my back and shoulders. This is why I've just procrastinated on this task for years.....just not looking forward to it.

I'm betting that the Mrs. "accidentally" placed that box with the rubbish pile

What scale?

Honestly I don't even remember what brand. I have them when I came back from Alaska and that was in the early 90s.

The new table dimensions were sent to the woodshop and he is starting on them Monday. Should be here within a week or so I am hoping. They will each be 32" x 56" instead of the original 2' x 4'. I will be screwing them together into an "L" shape to put in the corner of my RC room.

There, I revised it from your revision

Either way, she's way out of my league

Someone mentioned a water obstacle. Typically this is frowned upon in dioramas because of mold and other problems, but I think I can work around it. So here is a corrugated pipe for a culvert I will be putting at the top of the course.

I was thinking I could do a small stream with a pump at the bottom of the layout, and the water flowing out of this culvert. Then create a stream bed using styrene covered by some tan Plastidip to waterproof everything. If it gets to be a problem I will just remove the water and do a static stream with Mod Podge.

Tables are under construction, and time estimate is end of week, which is when the foam and other supplies arrive. Sounds like a fun project for my son and I this weekend.

I am envious, this is a project I would love to work on right now, but I need to wait for cooler temps. It's still 105F outside. I wish my garage was climate controlled. Thanks for letting me enjoy your build!

I am dying to get started on it as well. I was wanting to start cutting foam a week ago, but I decided to wait til the tables arrived. So I am just sitting here thinking up idears.

Yeah, I kinda am going nuts. But I am in the process of rearranging my hobby room to fit the tables in there, so I have plenty to do before I get the tables and foam.

 

[Greywolf74]

Pretty epic undertaking. can't wait to see the completed project!

Here are the tables being made. Each is 56" x 32". The shelf unit under the left table will not be included yet. It is a future purchase (and I just designed it). It will hold five 24th scale rigs and controllers. You can see a crude little SCX24 C10 on the table shown for scale. It is not a lot of room to play with, but should be good enough.

That's awesome. I'm sure you will utilize every square inch. That's is able to be used in some way. Idea since it's in corner you could go up the wall. In some way with shelf like attachments. To expand the course. Or down and under And back up again? Just thinking

Yeah, there will be shelves eventually. And this will be modular, so I could always move it into another room and expand it.

I had a basement when I lived in KS and in NE - didn't realize how nice they were; never not had a basement til I move to OK/tornado alley. Man - i'd like to have a big-o-space for all the good stuff.
