AC:RC My backyard micro crawler course (portable)

I built this 1/24 scale crawler course for my backyard. Made it in several sections which can be taken apart and moved around or even transported and put back together. All pieces are made out spray foam, styrofoam, cardboard boxes and plaster cloth in some areas. The 4 big parts have 1"x12"6' wooden platforms. All pieces are light which I can easily move around by lifting them myself without any problems.

    @@hillarie_hillviewpaint thank you so, so much I appreciate it. The course is bigger now I have added some sections. I have a short video of it. But I’ll make another like this one with the full course. What I like about the course is that the way I made it I can interchange the sections to have different configurations or I make just put together less parts and make a shorter course.

    Thank you so much my friend, if you use cardboard boxes, or any styrofoam underneath that way you don’t use as much. Just have to form the cardboard a little in the shape or form of whatever obstacle you want to make . Any questions feel free to ask.

I’m sure it will turn out great the beauty of this is that the more imperfect it is the better. lol I just used cardboard boxes and styrofoam also. I just finished building one for the veterans. There and RC channel Operarion 11 Charlie they introduce vets to the hobby in order to help them cope with PTSD and depression so I just built one for them I will be posting a video soon of it.

    Very nice course. I'm in the works of building one myself and have been searching the internet for inspiration. Plenty in this video. At 4 minutes and 50 seconds how did you get that rounded rock texture? And then just up the hill from that those shale looking rock texture? I would like those two textures in my course and really curious what you use to make them? Thank you for your time once again nice layout.

    Thanks a lot my friend I really appreciate it. On that area those rocks are just styrofoam the thick ones that come with some appliances or electronics I just cut them in small pieces in the shape of rocks glued them and covered them with plaster cloth. Above that is also styrofoam but in that area I used some insulation foam I got from lowes. It comes in sheets of like 4 feet by 16 inches and 1/2” thick and I believe is a pack of ten for like 10 or $11. The rest of the course is primarily made out of boxes covered with spray foam. In some small sections I used real rocks. Please let me know if you have any other questions I will be more than happy to answer and help you. 👍👍
