Man ... 4000 sqft!! [X(] That's more footage than most houses on the market today!

THANKS GUYS for the great encouraging comments!!

MORE PHOTOS WILL BE POSTED ONLINE TONIGHT!!!

IT IS A LARGE AREA!! LOADS of "HILLS and Mountains" to hide behind and uneven terrain so it won't be easy to get a DIRECT 30 ft shot... you will be scooting and shooting as well as negotiating terrain... NO DIRT DRAG STRIPS HERE.. a lot of main roads and there will be bridges to take and more!!

OK more progress photos!

1st shot shows pile of debris has been finally removed leaving room for the final expansion to take shape and still have room to park our canopies, trucks etc...

2nd shot shows how much more soil was brought in ... and the rest are well..progress in laying out the dirt... and setting it up for sculpting the terrain by us....

NOTE the SIZE of the TRACTOR and HOW MUCH SPACE it has to manuever on the R/C BATTLE FIELD AREA!!! LARGE, WIDE area is going to be great to battle on.... LOTS of room for obstacles, varying terrain, strategic battles of epic proportion!!!

hheheee

OK... time to do the heavy work... installing some bridges, hangar, and diggin the "river" as well as carving some more hills ...
we had the tractor make several hills/mountains and roughen up that terrain... we then had to get rid of its tractor tire tracks and really start getting dirty!! THIS IS THE PART I LIKE MOST... making a box of dirt look really cool with landscape!!

THESE are the first photos of trees and structures going in.. so DO NOT WORRY.... LOADS MORE TREES and structures will be added and loads more detail will go in before this SUNDAYs BATTLEDAY!!!

I am sad.. Wish I could share the progress with you all in photos.. IT LOOKS SO AWESOME!! I CANNOT wait until SUNDAY!!!
SUNDAY is our BATTLEDAY.... ANYONE and EVERYONE is welcome to attend! Bring your Tanks, ALL TANKS ARE WELCOME!!! Just make sure your radios are on surface frequency and if you want to Battle you need a TAMIYA BATTLE SYSTEM or COMPATIBLE SYSTEM!

I have about 2 hrs of work left to do to be ready for SUNDAY... IT WILL BE DONE BY 10AM SUNDAY MORNING for our BATTLEDAY!!!

-HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

OK... SUNDAY has come and gone... HERE are the photos of our TEXAS ARMOR ASSOCIATION R/C TANK CLUB BATTLEFIELD...

With the CLub Members at work we were able to finish planting all the trees in less than 1 hr on SUNDAY before Battling...

We have a Battle Field that we are very happy and proud to have...
Right at 4000 sqft... it is plenty large to lose a tank, ambush, set up strategic wargames, and more...
It is almost so large and wide that you MUST walk around it or you will lose perspective of your tank and its position on the many roads and hills... It is perfect to hide a tank out of line of sight and wait until your opponent is in firing range/zone to commence attacking...

ANYHOW.. HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS from SUNDAY!!

ENJOY...

More Battlefield improvements/upgrades to come:
a) installation of the G SCALE TRAIN
b) More Buildings
c) Oil Refinery Area/INDUSTRY AREA
d) More vegetation/Trees/Bushes
e) REFINED/More scale tunnel
f) More light Vehicles and personnel will be added
g) Color application to hills/mountains to give more depth/texture

Great looking battlefield! Feels like being there with all those pic views.

Mad Fox

Excellent work, be needing binocculars to see where your tanks are , wish there was something like that over here in the UK near me.

blitzkrieg65

Very, Very, nice, sweet as matter of fact! It does look challenging and fun with multiple areas where smaller skirmishes can break out! My new biz will probably ty me down some this year, but I will make a trip to Texas at some point and someday hopefully sooner then later!!! I keep an eye on your battle post! No being humble we want to know who the heavy hitters are?

That's a fantastic looking site! The members and people constructing that field should be commended for their excellent work and dedication!

Any events planned during the summer of 2009? I'll be out that way visiting friends and family next summer, would love an excuse for a little detour!

The_Stuff

awesome idea for a railway!! hope you guys figured out a way to keep the track clean so the engine will work right if it is powered via the rails.
