Popular Post Davy Crockett Posted September 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Been looking for a mini crawler for some back garden fun and narrowed it down to either the SCX24 bronco or Jeep. One in stock locally so decision made and Jeep acquired. Have a small course in the garden built on an old pallet and couple of quick runs to see how it ran, pleasantly surprised! Removed and replaced a few stock decals Had a trawl round the web and loads of accessories to 3D print, some specific and some I've scaled down from 1:10 Light buckets, roof lights, snorkel, roof rack & rear bumper Wing mirrors, door handles and fuel cans Thanks for looking and more to come.....

BlackSeaRC Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 You are never "all done" with RC vehicles! One of the things that I really don't like about the SCX24 Jeep Wrangler is the stickers for the rear light clusters. A light cluster moulding would be much better. I would think about adding those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That course looks awesome 👍🏼, what's the grey stuff, breeze blocks?? looks like you've poured something on it to fill cracks what's that too?? I was thinking of doing a course using expanding foam, just never got round to doing it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davy Crockett Posted September 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2022 It's polystyrene block used in house building, off cuts on site and thought 'they're just the job' Glued to pallet with no more nails and shaped with a Stanley knife. Topping is tile grout adhesive powder mixed with water, thick for build up, thinner for dressing 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy84 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 That indoor course looks great too. I'd been playing about making a couple of indoor obstacles to try different techniques before going for a big build. Especially around how to get some sort of grippy surface. I'd seen, and tried, paint just not doing it as it's too smooth. Had considered the stone effect paints, but they're soooo expensive. Was leaning towards emulsion with sand in it topped off with clear matt lacquer. Hadn't even considered tile grout!! That's a great shout!!

totlxtc Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Back when i used to build models I used to use foam card and build it up like a elevation map. Then I would used Tetrion with a little sand added in. Was really great stuff if anyone is interested. Or good old chicken wire and papiermache. In fill with newspaper. Let dry. Smother with Tetrion. Paint grey and then dry brush with light and dark grey. Few model railway bushes and trees and you are done.

So after the winter, course hasn't faired too well and still have loads of poly blocks so started a few ideas for an indoor/sectional course that could be setup up and packed away easily. Here's a taster of 1st test bits 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
