Tyers Targa

[Ember]

Some of you have seen this work in progress in other places. Some of you may not have.

It started its life as a small Scalextric Sport track of 14m (oh, crumbs... I've got to convert to old speak!)... umm... 45-ish feet. That was about 3 and a half years ago now.

This is where the permanent track began around February 2009.


By August 2009 it had developed a little.


In December 2010 it looked like this.


An overview of the table in August 2011


This is how the overview looked in August this year.


Even now, the track is an enjoyable drive. It's not a hard core race track. It was never intended to be one. But it has enough quirks in the layout to keep it a challenge.

For some reason, Photobucket is playing up a little currently. But I'll post some prettier pictures later just in case some one is interested.

Beginnings of the "swamp"


Second pour in the swamp and the beginnings of the rubbish pile.


Rubbish detail.


Probably enough photos for now.

A few more photos while I have morning coffee.

You just know these two are up to mischief.

This is still a favourite photo. Such a gorgeous car. It tends to be my go to car for photo shoots. I really need another hero car... Jules you promised!

I'd best stop for now. The next (last) crop will be more up to date, taken in the last 6 months since the track was painted.

Thanks for looking

Embs, Hopefully, you will find a new Hero model in the new bunch of stuff coming out soon. That Charger is still a good looking car complemented, of course, by your wonderful scenery.

I'm pleased you joined up with HRW. It's a great place and always nice to see your fab work.

Cheers

Jules

Damn that man gets around!

Still one of the best looking rears around. The car that is. Not seen what Jules has on offer.

I might be mistaken, but didn't you do an article on how you made the graffiti/posters?
