Thanks for showing the build process. I've seen a few of these on a FB group and I couldn't quite wrap my brain around how to accomplish the transition from a pile of boxes and shipping material to a plastered course. Inspired me to work on my own course. Cheers!
WOW Phil for the Amount of work you put into the channel to give us all great content your subs should be 500K + this Indoor course is awesome and will be fun to see many un favorable crawlers 1:18 & 1:24 and even the mini Z type compared to each other from higher end to the cheaper sort cant wait for this segment , thanks Phil 🙂
I used spray truck bed liner on the smooth surfaces before painting and it created an awesome texture. Just enough grip and it looks pretty natural too.
I have a local auto parts store that has rubberized rocker guard..that works too. You can also buy textured paint that "looks" like granite.....another good source.
Check out Hydroponic Clay Pebbles (they come in all shapes looking like rocks or boulders),also you could mix the sand with plasterers plaster for a good type of building aggregate and you could also add cement dye to it for different colours..hope that helps..the Hydro pebbles are what you are thinking of tho I'm sure.
It's a very good course. It's interesting to follow the trials and tribulations. I think it will save a lot of time instead of driving somewhere to test the mini crawlers.
Dude that looks epic, love the 4 seasons goin on, good old British weather 4 seasons in one day lol all u need is a fan to make wind and u r on the a good old summer day at Mablethorpe ha ha ha
Awesome Phil. That Soudal foam I use at work here in Sydney and it works a treat. Definitely think unit cold did It in there.. Also core flute is awesome for cutting, shaping, bending etc..
Once again, wish I was in the UK, I run a wood shop and have all kinds of offcuts that are perfect for building crawler courses. When I was building mine I dug through the recycling bin for big chunks of styro that I could carve.
looks great, suggestion along with Coffee Beans, is used dry Coffee grounds also mixed in, You used to be able to get big bag of them from Costa Coffee for free to grow veg & such in the garden.
Yeah we’ll see you next time, I love it summer into winter that is super cool. Great job on the course I’ll be following have to see the rest until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
When I was a nipper we used old bed sheets or curtains and plaster to mould scenes for railways. Much cheaper than bandage type ready made rolls of stuff and very easy to work with. Either way awesome track.
@@TomleyRC I guess we had no choice back then. Necessity is the mother of invention as they say. I follow your stuff and enjoy the modern and the old school/vintage equally. If it's not broke don't fix it is fine but if it's not broke but it can be better .. well bring it on. You are doing great and making quite a name for yourself. Keep on keeping on and never be afraid to go outside the lines.
so far so good, not too hard but not too easy either! i was very overwhelmed with my course build but i'm happy with it, unfortunatly my trx4m makes quick work of it but the 24 scale stuff is a bit harder
Gonna be awesome when it’s finished! I’d like to see a crawler shootout when it’s all said and done 😁 fcx vs trx4m vs scx24 vs that blue and white rig vs…. You get the idea
Tomley, that's a classic with the expanding foam .I did the same,then sat down looked at it.laughed at my efforts and thought,that reminds me of a film called the Blob.It came from outer space.✌️🤡
Amazing work, Phil! 😃 It really turned out fantastic!!! I need to find some space here for something like that... 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
It's a process....soon as you think you're done, you will want to add or change it up......another tip: hot melt glue gun.....for that area that you sprayed all the foam underneath the mountain, some vertical pieces of cardboard would support that whole thing.
note for people using expanding foam: buy the "big gap" stuff....it goes much further......stuff I used you squirt something the size of a cherry and it grew to the size of a tennis ball.
Ive been building mine for about 7 months. Just slowly changing it. It went from 4 feet long to about 15 feet long and 6 wide🤣 lots of spray foam (20 cans) and lots of tiny scale stuff and tunnels!
Looks wicked Phil! I like the idea of traveling through the seasons! That campfire was a nice touch as well. Are you serious about the coffee beans? I hope it’s old coffee beans , otherwise that considered coffee bean abuse Phil! Can’t have that !😂☕️
I am driving 1:32 and 1:35 scale micro crawlers from Orlando Hunter and was able to build a micro coarse with sizes 125 x 75 cm with dozens of obstacles . So , fun on a table is really possible ;-)
@TomleyRC your amazing Phil! I love all your videos, I wish I could head back to England to meet you and see my family I suppose haha but for you OF COURSE haha
Great stuff. But man I can’t imagine the cost of all the crafting materials!!! Very cool results tho and can not wait to see the comparison of different crawlers on this! 👍👍👍
Just remember what my old boss used to say: "Perfection is the enemy of Good" ...if we had just been able to produce the "Good", we would have come out ahead ~
This looks great man. Lots of work and trial and error in this. My only question is will you have a jump ramp into the bean pit? 😁 I've been meaning to build my 24th scale course for months now. I bought a trio of steel cabinets for my garage that came packed / protected in 1"/25mm thick cardboard sheets. I was going to take a jigsaw to them to make terrain shapes like a topography map and cover that with some burlap or that plaster mesh. Hoping any finished product to be portable for easy storage or use. Convenience and quick access is the best way to make use of something like that if it can't be left set up (at least in my opinion).
Love the 4 season theme. But I think you need to make yourself a real mini crawler. That FCX is all looks and no bite. Lets build 1/24 lcg rig that will handle every line on that course. Or break out that SCX24 with the furitek system you made a while back.
Hola Mr Tomley como estas , quedo muy bueno el circuito , voy a tratar de hacer uno igual aunque no tenga un auto para probarlo , saludos y gracias por compartir
This was extremely enjoyable to watch. Excellent job!
Thank you

Did I just get Rick Rolled from a 1 year old video from the other side of the planet?! 😅😅
I got Rick rolled from the other side of the planet too lol
Same😅
That’s awesome great job man 👍👍🪵🪨🌲
Ah, now _this_ is my cup of tea! And coffee. And whisky. And more whisky.
Already looking fantastic! I can't wait to see how you progress.

I have a left over can of that stuff and pulled it out with the plasti-dip that was used to waterproof some electronics. Good idea!
sweet crawler track bro cant wait to build mine soon
This looks like a heap of fun
It is 👌
We're having a ball making ours, too! Well done, governor.
LOOKING GREAT Phil. I like the seasons idea. You done a great job SIR 🇬🇧👍🏼
Thanks Mike… I thought it was a good idea.. and good to look at as well

Very well done so far there Phil, looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see more 👌
Cheers Adam
Building it might be more fun than driving on it. Not to say that driving won't be fun, but the building looked like a blast!
Dude that looks epic, love the 4 seasons goin on, good old British weather 4 seasons in one day lol all u need is a fan to make wind and u r on the a good old summer day at Mablethorpe ha ha ha
Built my own stackable crawler course from tumble dryer and washing machine packaging. Great job on yr course 👏
Looks like a brownie more then wet mud lol. Looks great Phil
Same type of approach that I have in mind, arts and crafts from school can pay off for a creative, customized course 😀
Yes lol
Awesome little crawler trail there Phil .
Loved watching the build process , shows with a bit of imagination what you can do .
Be nice to have something like this for consistent testing. Kind of like a top gear track
Yes, that’s the plan. Get some gates in… and a stop watch
Awesome Phil. That Soudal foam I use at work here in Sydney and it works a treat. Definitely think unit cold did It in there.. Also core flute is awesome for cutting, shaping, bending etc..
Great job 👏
Great video! Great job! You and your boy kevin are doing great things in your own way. Good vibes, good spirits, and always good content. Thanks.
Outstanding, super cool course you built love it. Appreciate your sharing I’ll be watching more
Wow, you have great dexterity. I want to try making it too.❤😁👏👍👍👍
the Bean Pit! I love it
😎👌
Yes progress! Sounds like awesome
Never understood the whole crawling thing, but thats epic mate! Makes me want one now!
It’s certainly fun once you get in to it a bit 👌
Great work, looking pretty good. It should be called the Cirque de Phil or something. Looking forward to seeing some crawlers tested on it.
That looks absolutely fabulous Tomley, great job.
Thank you

looks great, suggestion along with Coffee Beans, is used dry Coffee grounds also mixed in, You used to be able to get big bag of them from Costa Coffee for free to grow veg & such in the garden.
Been looking forward to this.
Good job so far, looking forward to an invite to come test it ! ☺️
I didn’t know you went to Hogwarts. But you’re a proper wizard
Thats awesome great job!🔥💯 going to be nice to use when you can't get outside on nasty days.
Yeah we’ll see you next time, I love it summer into winter that is super cool. Great job on the course I’ll be following have to see the rest until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
Thats AWESOME !!! GOOOOD JOB !!!! 🤩
The borders between the two sides of the table will make a nice spot for some background murals
That's awesome, Phil! I can't wait to see it done and in use!
I’m looking forward to it as well
LOL I love the wizard that's the dude you got a damn good job buddy
Very good job !
Thank you
When I was a nipper we used old bed sheets or curtains and plaster to mould scenes for railways. Much cheaper than bandage type ready made rolls of stuff and very easy to work with. Either way awesome track.
That sounds like a good little ‘hack’…. I’m not sure kids are as creative nowadays

Nice job, great looking
so far so good, not too hard but not too easy either! i was very overwhelmed with my course build but i'm happy with it, unfortunatly my trx4m makes quick work of it but the 24 scale stuff is a bit harder
Almost 200k 😮
Good work man 😊
Cheers dude
Watched the whole video, phil. I love it!!!!
Gonna be awesome when it’s finished! I’d like to see a crawler shootout when it’s all said and done 😁 fcx vs trx4m vs scx24 vs that blue and white rig vs…. You get the idea
Man that's alot of hrs of work! 😳🤯👊👌
Well done bud that looks awesome, looking forward to seeing how the different trucks do on this 👍
Coming out really good 👍🏼
If you want to see the ultimate crawler course, I built it. Come on over!
Tomley, that's a classic with the expanding foam .I did the same,then sat down looked at it.laughed at my efforts and thought,that reminds me of a film called the Blob.It came from outer space.✌️🤡
Great job that mini crawler table Phil in time it will get bigger 😂👊👍🥃
Amazing work, Phil! 😃
It really turned out fantastic!!!
I need to find some space here for something like that... 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

hahaha loved the saltbae move!!!
I'm interested in starting this hobby that's why I'm here 😂😂
Looks excellent 👌
note for people using expanding foam: buy the "big gap" stuff....it goes much further......stuff I used you squirt something the size of a cherry and it grew to the size of a tennis ball.
"The bean pit"! Name of the new RC themed coffee shop! Course is terrific. You are brave for doing all that with nice clean hoodies on! Cheers
That’s a really cool idea with the plaster wrap I think that’s what it is called
Holy smoke, this is great.
GREAT BUILD MATE NICE ONE
A great way to fill in the gaps and holes in the plaster sheets is to rub some watered down drywall mud over the top.
Ive been building mine for about 7 months. Just slowly changing it. It went from 4 feet long to about 15 feet long and 6 wide🤣 lots of spray foam (20 cans) and lots of tiny scale stuff and tunnels!
Haha… building is all part of the fun!
@@TomleyRC absolutely it never ends!
Cool rc crawler track!!! 🎉
So cool .. thank for the great ideas
Looks wicked Phil! I like the idea of traveling through the seasons! That campfire was a nice touch as well. Are you serious about the coffee beans? I hope it’s old coffee beans , otherwise that considered coffee bean abuse Phil! Can’t have that !😂☕️
awesome build!!
that is so beautiful!
better than the one in redfin models from kevs vids
Damn you flexing that Honcho.
This is why i love you.
good part one some good ideas
That brown foam bit looked like some fresh baked brownies
I am driving 1:32 and 1:35 scale micro crawlers from Orlando Hunter and was able to build a micro coarse with sizes 125 x 75 cm with dozens of obstacles . So , fun on a table is really possible ;-)
Really good. Has given me ideas
Looks epic bud great work indeed 👍🏼
Sooo amazing I can't wait for part 2 🥰
I’ve got some good plans 👌
@TomleyRC your amazing Phil! I love all your videos, I wish I could head back to England to meet you and see my family I suppose haha but for you OF COURSE haha
great job! Looks awsome! :D
Amazing as usual 😜
Thanks dude
13:15........ You telling me that doesn't look like cake to go along with the "coffee bean pit" haha
Making me hungry!
Great stuff. But man I can’t imagine the cost of all the crafting materials!!! Very cool results tho and can not wait to see the comparison of different crawlers on this! 👍👍👍
Niiice!!! I want that! 😛
Just remember what my old boss used to say: "Perfection is the enemy of Good"
...if we had just been able to produce the "Good", we would have come out ahead ~
I wanted to get in there with a stipple brush in the Autumn area to drop some Canadian Maple leaves on the ground.
Oh… we need some Maple leaves for sure!
Best foam is called Great stuff

Nice playground 😉

Nice,I'm looking to build a basement course for my 1/24 crawlers,got some epic ideas,we'll see what comes of it :)
Cool AF Phil 😎 👌
Nice job! Cheers
Awesome idea
Use cement and water for a runny mixture and soak old fabric (shirts, towels, pants) in it, bash the boxes corners in too with a hammer 🤣
Sweet!
