It usually runs fine
Rock Crawler
Been trollin through the course builds on here heavily and some gay ass paper mache websites along with a few landscaping design sites. Coming up with a good course design proves to be one of the more difficult things I have ever done. Anyways I have a 30'x30' shop at my house and will eventually wrap the course all the way around the edges up and down the work benches, rafters blah blah blah. Heres what I got so far. The pics do not do it justice IMO.
Started with 3 pieces of wood 96" long and 52" wide and made a 3 legged pyramid against a wall.
Heres the first climb it set at a 55* angle I just have mesh on it now, I have a few things to finish the I will pour concrete over the entire thing. I will be going saturday to the local stone place to get some flagstone and several pounds of whatever is available. I am still thinking of ideas for this climb so it is not just a straight shot. Any ideas I have great stuff and many other supplies just no ideas. In this shot you can also see the foam stair set. It is about 3' tall and 3'wide I am in the process of paper mache'ing this and will probably spray it with bedliner as I am afraid concrete with make it too easy. I will paint the angled piece with gloss paint so it stays slick.
The camera always makes obstacles look weak. In 1:1 and R/C apparently lol.
Right to the right of the stair set is a crevice that runs up at a 50* and steeper angle. My favorite part so far is the rolling side of the crevice made from cut up buckets. It is a really smooth transition to the left and right side out of the crevice.
This a little ledge the I made to the right of the crevice. It merges with the bucket breakover in a nasty steep off camber kind of way. It should ride really nice and look tits with crete poured on. I will also mache the crevice so the crete will not run through the wire.
Two little mounds from great stuff. I dunno.
This whole open area will be scabbed up with random planks and creted over with flagstone and random rocks inlayed.
After the hill is done I will be running a rope bridge off the top and a large rock pile will to the right of this mountain in the corner.
The pile is about 7' tall and is already a blast to drive on it should be pretty slick with crete poured on. Open to suggestions guys. -Steven
