Indoor course..... Outside?

With the popularity of the 1:24 trucks everyone seems to be making their own courses for inside use. They all seem to be loosely based off of foam, spray foam, cardboard, and plaster cloth etc. They turn out amazing looking and seem to work well.

My question is.... has anyone tried to make this style of course outside?

Now I'm sure plaster cloth etc won't last in the weather but maybe doing some sort of material soaked in something like Portland Cement? I have made "backyard" course before but short of being random piles of rocks, some dirt, and maybe a few obstacles made out of wood etc. they aren't very good to look at.

Brainstorming here how I can build something in the backyard without my wife bickering about it just making the yard look like clutter and junk.

Any ideas or help is appreciated
 
Make "her" a rock n flower garden, but based more for your teeny tiny trucks. Its a win win lol she gets a new garden n u get a play place. If u build say a teeter totter, u could hide it behind a bush

Cuz I want to do it for 1:10….. not 1:24 lol
 
But my question is more about making the style of course normally used for inside but making it outside. What materials to use etc.

you use the same material outside as inside foam and concrete wood and dirt then paint it to make it purrddy and hide it with plants and bushes

if you use cardboard or paper or balloons or small animals make sure you use enuff concrete to suport the structure after the cardboard or whatever rots away
