Re: Garden Modifications ?
I had made a small test track in my back yard but turns out R/C tanks don't like wet sand so I filled in the place where the pool used to go and started to dig in another spot. Then 2 of my Siberian Huskies decided to help me dig and now we're working on the side of the house.
Right now all I have is a dirt field with Husky craters but I have a small garden tiller that come spring I'll be cutting roads through my side yard heading around to the back of my house. Not sure about buildings and brush but I'd like to add some! Anyone know where to get 1/16th scale buildings and stuff?

Re: Garden Modifications ?
Pretty much the only option for 1/16 buildings is to make your own. The thing about 1/16 scale houses is that they are pretty big, so quite a bit of work. If they are going to be transportable then making them flat pack style is the best route.

I have this 5 x 5 mtr ex garden that my wife has abandoned. Weed killer and then boxwood plants that were not needed in the real garden anymore, is the start. Everything ( except the tanks) is going to be able to be out there all year, with a minimum of maintenance. I will ad buildings and other thing as I find/make them. I hope to find some sort of grass that will grow to max 1 cm
The video is not edited so its quite long. From 7.30 its filmed rom above.

Looks like you've got plenty of scope there for your RC operations
Tamiya King Tiger (no options)

Heng Long Challenger II (European camo')
Tamiya Tiger I full options (still in the box)

Another tip for cheap buildings is charity shops, I have known people pick up period dolls houses that look the part for next to nothing.

Re: Garden Modifications ?
Hi One thing that you could do is use G scale railway stuff its a little off scale but not much. the tracks do add to any battlefield also the bridges duel track ones will take a tank. If you can pick up second hand track which is not to expensive to buy .
