I was nervous after the first couple of pictures but it really looks good at the end. I don't know if you've given it much thought but that section of the course where you have the three rigs would look great if you build up the sides with rocks. It would give you some added lines.

yea it was pretty bare an ugly in the beginning.

im one step ahead of ya, i started laying out where i want to add to the table top or "mountain"(is what i call it). it definitely well be getting an overhaul. i have so many things i want to do to improve the course but currently im the only person working on it. also thought about making it rally friendly, so the course serves more than one purpose.

heres the unfinished side of the "mountain"
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k1...0116111156.jpg

im going to lowes today to pick up some concrete, stucco and lathe to add more surface area to the side of the "mountain". its going to be big!

Lookin' good! It's easy to see alot of work has gone into your course. The stick bridge will be a great addtion. Post some pics when you cross it finally.


Edit; Post some construction pics from today! (If you got any energy left.) Pace yourself!

thank you. yea i wasnt expecting it to grow like it did. it has consumed me and building something is half the fun when it comes to rc. i will take some build pics when start. the stick bridge is gonna be on hold for a couple weeks since as you can see the sticks i used are more like small logs and very heavy pine. not easy to hang by myself so i have to be creative when constructing.

i try to pace myself the best i can. i just have so many ideas i need to start writing them down instead of starting a million projects at once. but for now, my main concern is the "mountain".
