very nice design, cant wait to see more. "thumbsup"

nice start...

thanks will have more pics tomorrow

Nice.

looks like it'll be fun. what will it set you back in price?

around 60

the links price was 450
most of the 450 was the paint witch was Rhino liner

After reading the link, I KNOW a guy could do this way cheaper than that. Maybe use some plaster or floorstone or even a couple bags of ready-mixed concrete, and just slather a fairly thin layer over the foam. Plus it would look more real that way, anyway.

check this out http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/illinois/95360-new-place-crawl-chicagoland.html lots of pictures of the course we built at the local hobby shop. I think total price for the "built" section is only about $150
