Re: Backyard Semi Roadway
What will really be cool is to do what Swagger said
Dig out a trench the width and length of your desired road, about 4 inches deep. Fill with 2 inches deep of crushed rock (we call it hardcore in Ireland). Compact it with a whacker (big vibrating machine like a lawnmower with a big metal plate underneath) and then add 1 inch of silicone sand. That is very fine stuff. Get it dead level and pour cement or asphalt, up to you. Asphalt will require a roller, cement just use a trowel to get it smooth. With cement and a trowel you can draw out lines etc, to look like sections, the way a real road would be done.
It's a bit of work, but you could have a really cool looking road. You could even make scale crash barriers and plant some small trees around it so it looks scale, both for use and for photos of your trucks.
Good luck!
and use rc equipment to do it with!!!!!
