|  Micro wheelin' in the backyard...
Daylight is gettin' short around here. I've been haulin' some rocks into the backyard here and there so I don't have to drive as far for a crawlin' fix. This 4x4 enclosure was put in before I got here, for a small garden or something. Might as well put it to some good use, right?  Workin' it Micro style...

 The low spot in the middle will be the mud pit at some point. I need to line it w/ plastic or something, it won't hold water now it just soaks into the ground. It needs more rock first. Like twice as much as it has now... Last edited by Big Mike; 11-03-2010 at 07:33 AM. | |

Hey Big Mike, What is the name of the color on your Range Rover? The model, not the 1:1  |

The new Trail Trekker and a bit of nice weather (that is now gone  ) inspired me to haul in some more rocks: Now it's getting filled in. Lots of different lines now. 2 or 3 more buckets of small rocks and a few big ones scattered in should fill it up entirely.      I wish I owned this place, I'd haul in a truckload of rocks and set up half of the entire backyard like this for 1:10th scale trucks. And have less grass to mow... |

Most of the rock we have in our landscaping is flat flagstone. it is a nice long path but it needs some height. Our neighbor has some river rock. It would be nothing for 1/10th but it is to slick for the stock tires on the trekker. The drivable lines for the trekker are pretty short. | |
