Build Journal: Fraser Ridge Raceway Track
Fraser Ridge Gets A touch of Thunderbirds.
All Gerry Anderson productions had great action over the top sound and fantastic models and special effects. So while testing my track for 4 car racing I put together this little Gerry Anderson Thunderbird Special
All change on Fraser Ridge Raceway. After testing all types of cars down the track, I'm happy with the overall configuration of the track with the approaches in and out of the corners settled. It was time to seal and paint the Styrofoam structure.. having put the base coats and a few washes here and there I have started to work on some of the finer detail like the retaining wall on the top section and the entrance and exit to the tunnel section. Still got a lot to do, but generally i am happy with the progress to date.
Fraser Ridge Raceway gets some additional detail in the form of 3 team garages so that all the competitotors can prepare their team cars before and during a racing event.
Planting out of trees and bushes further up the peak of Fraser Ridge.

A day away from making trees and turn my attention to making advertising boards. Tools of choice, photo paper, cardstock, spray adhesive, plastic chopsticks and hot glue gun.

More signage erected on Fraser Ridge this morning none other than Redline Derby Racing League and 3D Botmaker. Special placing for these signs as they have had a very strong influence on the creation of Fraser Ridge.
Pride of place for these two signs next to Welcome to Fraser Ridge and the Fraser Ridge Logo
Also as one of the track side advertising boards
