Re: Building our own RC Playground
So because outdoor play area is going well I have decided maybe some of the tanks need their own habitat to live when indoors. So I think some diorama platforms are needed which can also acreate as movable scenery.
Also found out one member of the family is into model scenery and has supplied some samples to.look at, but he also has a full catalogue full of items available of which some I will be purchasing to help build some small diorama. I will setup another head in time for those.

Re: Building our own RC Playground
So because one area of play I'd not good enough. We have also started another area in our front garden with a fairy village on a hill with its very own rail bridge. We will have a station and lots of houses. Should look good also. Pictures to follow

I have done more today with digging it all back up adding up turned glass bottles for.lighting and anti weed netting.
Also tried the Pershing on the terrain to make sure it ok to run the tanks on. Loads more to.do and there will be some scale WW2 buildings amongst the fairy houses so it caters for all.
All a bit of fun for the kids and us bigger kids

Re: Building our own RC Playground
Thankyou
Trying to find some old outdoor 4 or 5 inch rail to use for.the diorama of the fairy garden.
Need some good pictures of a small.railway station so I can build it alongside the track.
Alot of solar led lighting to go in this one.

Re: Building our own RC Playground
Will I believe Mr Tiggr (Paul) on the forum is the train master and may have some photos in his posts that display his excellent tracks and buildings. Not sure of the scale but the stuff is amazing. When he sets up his Tigers outside near the tracks the results are exceptional.

Re: Building our own RC Playground
Thanks. I will go looking for his good photos for.inspiration then
I completed some CAD of my scale guard hut as I thinking about putting some kits together for sale.
Ignoring that for now here are some views

Just trying to find wooden sticks long enough and then I will do another trial build from.instructions. Then put final kits together.

Way to go! Cool!Will01Capri wrote:Copied an idea from Marco Peter.
All I had was an old Chinese takeaway container. So I decided to make a wooden lined dig in with step/seat
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!
I'm a happy man.

Re: Building our own RC Playground
New build progressing at the moment after I have found perfect inspiration for a WW2 German guard/watch tower. Unfortunately I am guessing on measurements for heights and widths etc, but it does look cool.
Once the CAD is done I will share pics and do a trial build.
Just like what I have done with the sentry hut I will make kits which people can.purchase. But all in good time.
Also have a few other designs in the pipeline.
