Thx for all your replies... been working on it for he last five years... making that thing growing bigger and bigger and getting more and more details done.

That actually isn't a MacDo sign. Got this building from a German slotcar-site, which has lots of papercraft-stuff. Guess it's got something to do wih copyrights. It says "
Willy's
Wurstbude" (Willy's sausages) - kinda joke I guess.

I love how detailed it is for still being modular. That's a really great design.

That sounds like me and my wife. Well, except her sewing stuff is blocking my track right now.
That is awesome.
I day dream about doing something like that, but I just don't have the patience.

That's absolutely amazing
, I have a track in a similar vein with trees etc but yours just blows mine out of the water, I have something to aim for now. Did you build the granstand, commentary tower from scratch ? and what is your base board made of ?

Most of the buildings are made of paper. Thex're downloadable at
www.carrera4fun.de - a German slotcar-site. I just had to scale them down to 1:55 (which fits the Microsizers best I think).
All Boards are made of medium density fiberboard. Each board has a groove and tongue to fit perfectly even. So I can race the track without having the cars bumping...
