photo for reference

March~April - The timing system and start system
- It was manufactured by recycling existing parts.
- Since I am not an Arduino expert, I had a lot of difficulties when working on it for the first time.


April 28th
- Wood and frame work


May 1st
- masking tape work
- Isopink cutting work for terrain


May 3rd
-
Asphalt and concrete work for modeling


May 6th
- The color of the starting line was decided by voting in the Korean diecast community.
- Korea has a history of being "white color", so we decided on white.

- The background and wooden chopsticks were placed randomly for taking pictures.
- The test drive has been completed.

May 9th
- Building sign installation
- Change the starting point to red
- Diecast Brand Decoration
- Place a sample figure and take a photo

Wow!

One of the best tracks I've ever seen in this short amount of time.
