oodboo Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I tore up the old deck from the garden and built a table out of it. I'm planning on making a table top course for my scx24. Table is about 3m x 1.4m so fairly big. This will live outside so obstacles will mostly be made of any wood that I have lying round. Anyone else built a table top course? I'm looking for inspiration from obstacles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hi, You Tube is your friend here, I got some good ideas for my 1/10 course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The ones I’ve seen, the ones I like have natural material obstacles (rocks/logs etc) so it doesn’t look like a half filled skip out your kitchen window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I built a course for my Orlandoo jeep, used expanding foam, polystyrene and wood. Painted with spray paint and chucked some sand over while it was still wet. Cant find any pics but here's a quick video pre painting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oodboo Posted May 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2022 The last few nights I've taken my tools and a beer down the bottom of the garden and put this together. It's not finished yet and there are something I'll probably change but it's a good way to waste an hour or so before it gets dark. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oodboo Posted June 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2022 Had some time today so got some more building done. Happy I've got a couple of tricky loops set up but as soon as I'm ready and the table is cleaned up of the mess, my battery dies. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy84 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Looks awesome. I'm just starting building some indoor bits with my little lad for our SCX24. So far cardboard and a glue gun have been my best friend. Am going to start with some expanding foam later to give it more of a 'rocky' appearance. Am thinking paint wise spray seems really expensive, so I'm thinking a cheapish tin of emulsion in probably a rocky grey colour and mix in some sand for grip. Followed by some lighter and maybe brown shades of spray for accents, then a good tip I've seen seems to be a couple of thin coats of matt car lacquer for a strong finish. We'll see how it all goes... 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
