Show me your crawler course!!!

[rcdadelectrician]

And thanks @rcdadelectrician for starting this thread and getting some of us motivated to build our indoor layouts. Too cold to play on the outdoor rocks right now.

I'm just glad we can all motivate each other, seeing yours now and I want to start laying mine out which I haven't done yet

Couldn't vacumm the unwanted parts this morning (everyone was asleep at the house) but I wanted to share where I was at, first ever course build so is safe to say I don't know what I'm doing and if this will turn out good but I'm having fun! Have to order the plaster sheets and foam it a little before paint. A little nod to my carrier, although it won't be seen this will be called the 4-way switch boulder

A great start, looks good so far! *One tip, put your rig on the board from time to time to check your scale on the obstacles. I just jumped in and started piling stuff up prior to the hot glue gun, got it laid out and glued. I went to bed last night thinking I was off on the scale and it would be too easy, went out to the shop today with the AX24 and found out it is pretty good. Thanks for all the support folks, ready for plaster cloth but the shop is only 28 degrees so I will have to move it before I plaster.

Looks great! And thanks for the tip, I'll be doing that today hopefully if I get some time before plastering everything.

Plaster rolls arrived today! Can't wait to start painting!

Dangit, I want a course in my house, just no where to put it. Envy much? Yep!

It helps that 3 of my kids are into it too, the 4th one is a baby and don't have a crawler yet

Mine is somewhat modular, it is 2 pieces.

That looks great! I'm doing two levels and this I'd the upper, smaller level, I'm hoping I could make it modular but I'm not sure if it'll work

 

[PaPa K]

Great work folks! I believe at some point I will be inclined to build a second module with some different challenges. As always…time will tell.

If @majin sees that, you can kiss those rocks goodbye

Awesome spot!

I can see him trying to haul that big un in his cooler.

Hello all, as the title says, show me your crawler course!

I'm in need of some inspiration as I am in the process of building my indoor crawler course
For 18/24 scale rigs.

So finally got it from the shop (cold) to our bonus upstairs (warm). Got the plaster cloth on yesterday, maybe base paint tomorrow. Hard to see details as it is all white. More to come….

 

[majin]

bro you gotta put some model trees in there! that would be so cool.
its looking great!!

 

[rcdadelectrician]

That is looking pretty cool! I got so side tracked with so many things at once and now the kids saying they want a bigger course is making me rethink a bit. Also, that's a nice packout stack you got there!

 

[PaPa K]

Base paint got done today, highlights and texture comes next.

Brilliant! A crawler course made out of chocolate! What do you mean it's not chocolate are you sure?

 

[PaPa K]

Ok, took a test run or two and then did some detailing.

 

[Doom!]

NICE!
