Ontheflipside Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Coming together very nicely Cam. Looking forward to what you do with the scenery as well. One of these days - my next track will be Scorpious and definately with the use of a CNC router.

Camber Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Finished installing guard rails, couldn't find a plastic strip that I liked so machined my own to look like Yas Marina's. Also used some lexcen at the far end of the track so you can see all lane changers. - Cam Edited February 19, 2016 by Camber Quote Hoo Roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontheflipside Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Very tidy Cam. So what sort of times in Analogue were you doing Couple of other questions. Surface Paint How did you do the ripple strips.

Camber Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Thanks OTFS. Don't know what the lap times are, I will wait for scorpius rather than setting up temporary timing. Surface is brushed Ferodor which I like, not as harsh as the rollered finish but still has lots of grip. Ripple strips were engraved when I machined the track. First I painted them white, masked the squares off and painted the red squares. I brushed them but used an additive called Pentrol for enamel paints, sign writers used it back in the day of intricate lines on prime movers. It's good stuff, makes the paint flow and brush lines all but disappear. Or you could air brush them. - Cam Edited December 1, 2010 by Camber Quote Hoo Roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camber Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Made a start on some scenery, still need to work out pit buildings and scenery on opposite side to pits. - Cam Edited February 19, 2016 by Camber Quote Hoo Roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Looks good Cam. Nice and bright. Quite like the clean, ultramodern look of it. Love the manicured lawn. Quote Computers.

neil Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 thats a nice/great standards you have acheived with surounding sceenery so far,love the grass,love the track sign writting, even like the palm trees [as much as I hate P/tree's in the fronts of yards in W/suburbs]. cleaning dust should be a breeze. Got to ask what the two tracks or lanes are for in front of the crane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagleby flyer Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 That captures the feel of the real track very well, I always thought Yas looked like an oversized slot car track anyway. Excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camber Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks fellow slotters. Neil, that is just a decorative run off area, Yas has lots of them. Did a bit more last night, I thought this corner lends itself to looking similar to the one in the photo.

gzminiz Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I keep going back and forth on a routed digital or analogue. This one makes me want a scorpius track (especially as space is limited for me so more room). How much do you have into the track roughly cost wise? The biggest thing for me is I can run 2 lanes and still race 3 or more cars. But cost is also a factor. Just an awe inspiring track you got.

Camber Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The cost of electronics in on the Scorpius web page. You can always build the track with lane changers, run the track as analogue and add the digital bits as you can afford them. Routing the track by hand will save you money, digital wood tracks dont have to be cnc...my next one will be done manually. Thanks - Cam Quote Hoo Roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTR XU-1 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looking the goods Cam! Have to be the best looking digital (well - soon to be) track in Aus! Looks very slick and clean! It has got me all motivated to pull my finger out and rip up the ninco digital plastic on my track and do a three lane scorpius (the scenery will remain unchanged) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarKraft Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 my next one will be done manually. Why is that Cam? I was beginning to think CNC would save you the whole mess, and offset the cost by not buying a router and bits? Quote Fairmont Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was beginning to think CNC would save you the whole mess, and offset the cost by not buying a router and bits? Hi KK, The way I buit my track in 60+ small pieces was ridiculous and really time consuming. The only reason I used my machine was because it was there, saved paying for someone else to machine it and I wanted to see if I could do it. Routing by hand is easy, set up a fence and rout away, you dont have to wait for quotes + manufacturing time and it will save lots of money. If you make a mistake, bog it and do it again. There are a few ways of doing the lane change sections manually that are doable. Thanks to all for the encouragement. - Cam Edited February 28, 2011 by Camber Quote Hoo Roo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
