The plaster cloth 12in x 50ft roll I think I'm barely gonna have enough.. Pan for slurry soaking Bucket for clean water and adding water to pan Thinset Sand Cut Plaster cloth cut into various sizes and widths. I pick a section and work it till it's done or needs fillin strips. The thinset requires constant stirring or the mix will settle. Dip the cloth in..slurry over it good..remove and set,adjust..next and repeat. Sprinkle some sand if it needs it. It's a fast paced task..so have everything ready to rock beforehand. a lil more progress.. |

Man... You don't mess around huh? Go big or go home. Really nice start to this course and looks like a great variety of obstacles, lines, etc. I dig you r tire and wheel choice too. FWIW Hobby Lobby has a good selection of fairly realistic critters if you have a store close to you. |

I’m glad I found this. I’ve been wanting to build an indoor for my 1/24’s. Is it still holding up good?

Looks awesome. Definitely something great to have indoors. I'm thinking of doing the same hopefully this summer. It would be fun to be able to drive inside while it's nasty outside, especially in the winter.

Great little crawler course. You did a nice job making the rocks and terrain look very realistic.
