1/24th slot track in 1/87th. DONE

[mercman]

This idea is floating around in my head. Gonna do a 1/87th scale slot track shop.

[mercman]

Going to start on the track today. If I can get it right than the rest will fall into place easily enough.

This is what the track layout looks like.


A pic of the actual track.



From what I understand it's large, and ultra fast.

[mercman]

Okay change in plans. I did a different building than what I had pictured before.

Next up was some minor construction, and pre-placement of the track design.

Then it was time to construct the track.

And then to place it inside.

Now I have to do the inside walls, and interior pieces.

Outstanding idea, Merc! Super job on the Purple Mile!

[mercman]

Thanks Dave, It has already outgrown the building shown, as I am building a new one for it. Also I will be adding a drag strip track to it.

[mercman]

Pretty much have the new building done. Just have to do the doors. Here are a couple of pics of it.



Here you can see the track has more room, and will be adding a drag strip in the back.



Now it will be time to design the interior for it.

[mercman]

Found some pics on the web for interior shots. Also got the dragstrip built, ( no pics of it yet).



The bottom panorama pic I will be cutting down to use only parts of it.

[mercman]

Well the drag strip is built, and 2 guys are just itching to try it out.




Also got the other track painted.



Now its time to start detailing the interior.

[mercman]

Going to need a display case.

[mercman]

Getting ready to stock the shelves.

[mercman]

Case is stocked, and track is busy.

[mercman]

Got some of the interior signage done.



Also started to add some stock, and shelves. The red, and gray bench will be the pit area for working on the cars. Have to add some electrical outlets yet to it.



Finally a start on the sign for the shop. Needs to be framed out yet.

[mercman]

Tonight I got the sign framed.




Added outlets to the work station area.



And a couple of building shots. Have to add the glass, and the doors yet.

[fireguy14]

That is looking great, Junior!

[Nacho Z]

It is really coming along nicely mercman. Cool detail with the outlets!

[mercman]

Got the inventory in place, placed a couple of other pieces. The wood thing will be the checkout counter still a WIP yet. Also plans call for stools, and some detailing over at the workstation. I see also I am going to have to add some lighting to it. With the roof in plce it's kind-of dark.

[mercman]

I'm going to put a fork in it and call it done. here are some of the final pics.
Track is in along with seating.


Decided to light up the place also.

There are a few small details yet to dealt with, but those will come when final placement is made. For all of the pics of the build go here.

Yeah Dave I have but with close to 800 little people to sort through it may take a bit of time to find the right ones.

That is fantastic! I love it.

Cheers.
