figures

ok so scalextric figures,
now unless your prepared to pay out for like carrera figures or specialist archetect figures most of the ones that are available second hand are going to be styled from the fifties or sixties, which is great if your set up is based around this time but most of my cars are modern f1 or ralleyes,
so as much as i can try to modern them up a bit with brighter colours, but some there is not much you can do like the photographers, there holding the old box brownie cameras so just have to live with them,
so any way won a great deal on e bay with some figures and some pics of me repainting them,

                                     

  Ok so what i have done is to paint them so they look like they are wearing pin stripe coverals with hi vis vests,an i dont think they look to bad,

 So what i have tried to do is a pit crew with red overals with blue stripe and a crew with blue overals with red stripe.  

   
next is thease two little guys at first was not quite sure what they were supposed to be doing but painted them yellow with blue stripes,  

                                                                                                                                            
  next to a car they look like there pushing it or something but then thought they would look good next to the 
break down truck,

   Next thing is you end up with a lot of figures the same like this lady,

 She is holding up some sort of book or document so if you put her near a big lorry or other officials she looks like she needs something sighned, but you cant have her any where on her own, so with a bit of ampitation and surgery,         

                                                                                            
      with no book and her arm down makes her a bit more versatile, which is good cause i have at least six of her,
next few pics are just scenery ideas,

            The saftey fences are from table top set up so they will be cut about an reshaped,
next is few pics of the pits and haipin end.

   Hmmm just not too sure about this end of track although there is lots going on with the pits good year canopys the burger bar an grandstand, i dont know just compared to rest of track just looks a bit to
"TOY,ISH" i think i will get rid of the green felt, build up a bit of plaster landscape behind canopys an where picnic table is next to burger bar  and use green sawdust instead of cloth,
next im waiting for the copper tape to arrive will then clean rails and apply and will hopefully be able to race,
will then post pics of all my cars with there lap times,
