Yagbols:

Where do I find the plastic corrugated board you used for the corners? I think they look excellent and seem to be very easy to adjust to fit the track.
Please inform.

Try asking your friendly neighborhood art supply store, I got mine in a bookstore where they have all sorts of art material....here's a tip: if you plan on using that, make sure to cut the material lengthwise.....to where the lines in the board are going to....(i think me needs a pic here) so that when you bend the board, it wont fold. (me thinks again a tutorial would be of help here) hehehehe....anyway, goodluck on your track!

I´ve been to some different stores, art supply stores and others and found...zilch!
Have you trimmed the barriers or do they look like that from the start? What is the material intended to be used for originally?

I hope you can assist me in filling the gaps, I´d really like to get hold of those barriers.

I guess i was pretty lucky to find that material...anyway, what barrier are you refferring to? the railings? Basically the materials i used for the whole setup are the following: Felt paper, Foam board(thats the black material i used for the roads, and i used that too for the straights railings) currogated plastic for the curves, computer printouts for the graphics, gluegun....thats it! and some imagination....maybe i should come up with a tutorial?

I´m referring to the currogated plastic for the curves.
You said you got it at a bookstore, but what´s the purpose for that material originally? Where´s it to be used?

A tutorial isn´t that important as long as one can get hold of the material in use.

The purpose? well I guess its made for constructing boxes. I dont know really....heres a link maybe this can spare you the misery of trying to find out where to get it.....

Someone here just opened my eyes

The borders I´m looking for are just...decals!
I suppose you´ve printed out the railings and stuck them to the plastic board.
I thought they were looking that great from the start, all made up from plastic, but I´ve come to realize that´s not the case.

Thanks for the effort of trying to help out, I will get back with pix from my upcoming track. The track will have to be finished within 2 weeks, since I´m gonna participate in a carshow here in Sweden then with the track and a load of cars.

What was it u use for the sand trap?

Yagbols · Post by **Yagbols** » Wed Jul 30, 2003 3:23 am

thanks warmaster

ZZP, thats textured board that i used...it really works like a gravel trap, coz its "corrugated" so the cars tend to slow down when they hit that part of the circuit.
