pit garage

ok here we have a pit garage made out of hard wood,
sorry no pics of in between stages only finished result, which also now has little battery operated lights in each garage area which looks pretty cool.

Im pretty pleased with result and next to pit lane track from e bay for few pounds, really sets off the effect your looking for,

 ok next up is a dunlop control tower and cross over found this on ebay,
now the start price on this was a £150,
 so i set about trying to make my own and this is what i ended up with,

 Not a bad result. and the little blue lights are cool in the dark,


Here we have a track side  marshal or time keeping hut,
and then my attempt,

    

                                             
Ok not too bad pretty pleased with it the textured paper is just from google images the printed out to scale
and then glued on,
  all the little figures and cars are all bought from boot sales or e bay dont think i have any thing bought brand new,
     The thing to remember about bidding on ebay is prime time, especialy if you want bargains, remember some people make a living by selling things on e bay, so if you want bargains avoid the prime time, which as far as i worked out is tuesday to thursday from 6pm to 9pm, sellers try to aim for there articles to be ending within thease times as most people are on line between thease hours,
  I have won scalextric cars on a monday afternoon for 99p, cause no one is shopping at thease times,
also very late at night past midnight you can pick up some real bargains.
  And the whole point of this blog is for a set up as cheaply as i can,,,,so stay tuned.......
