|  Interesting thought on a small course
So I've seen the losi "fake" rock platforms you can pick up for several bucks online or in a store. Anyways I thought to myself is there something out there that could give me the desired effect but is free? So here it is haha it's 9 McDonalds drink holders. Granted it's not perfect but with some cutting and thinking and whatever else you can get creative with. I'm not sure if someone else has done this already but I figured free and they stack up and can be customized to your liking sounded fun    |

I ordered one of those Losi rock formations and it's the same recycled paper as the cup holders. So I did the same thing but I haven't finished mine yet. Just bought a few cans of spray foam too so this is gonna take longer than I expected.

Why stop there? Go pick up some eggs, make up a twelve egg omelete and presto, egg carton course! I might use some to provide terrain structure under my next plastruct section. I have been saving them all winter to use to start seeds for my garden this spring, so I have plenty on hand....

Someone was making an egg carton course a few months ago but I think the "rocks" were to close together. I'm sure with scissors and some glue you could come up w/something good!
