I put a couple coats of polyurethane on it. I found some weaknesses in my crawler. Needs more weight up front. The tires are too rigid due to no vent. Just needs some more tweaking. LOL |

Nice setup. I'm working on a portable course on a 4x4' sheet of plywood using broken paver bricks and odd chunks of angled cut fire wood. It's gonna be heavy! Lol Sent from my SGSII E4GT |

Tree stuffage! And a case of aquarium gravel. An old truck to crawl over. I'm going to add realism to it in time. The ROCK! as it is now. More 4'x4' panels coming. Last edited by Fungi; 11-14-2012 at 08:48 AM. Reason: fixed a link. |

Found this pond liner at my local Home Depot over the weekend on sale/clearance for $19.06, regular $38, so I picked it up. Also picked up a small package of light green foliage from my LHS yesterday and picked up 3 cans of the Rustoleum stone paint on lunch today, so I should be starting on mine shortly. Might even make a nice obstacle for my MRC, too.

Started painting last night. Shot two coats of plastic primer, then a full can of the stone paint. Let the stone paitn set for an hour or so then went back with another 3/4 can to thicken it up some. Will probably go back tonight to add shading with a darker color stone paint and then add some roughage.

That'll look sweet! I got my rock all finished up and used some 3M spray adhesive to add some shrubbery, but it doesn't hold very well, especially with a torquey crawler working over it. Top that off with my 3 year old pulling it off and I can hoenstly say that although it looks really good, the shrubbery wasn't a good idea. I'll try to snap a couple pics over the weekend of the current status. May try again with the shrubbery, too. Have plenty of spray adhesive. |
