Off-road testing
My story is probably much like yours. It started when I was a child, but as I grew I lost touch, but then, one day at the grocery store, in an attempt to bargain with my son to behave, it started all over again. He picked one, then I did, and so did Mom. Skip ahead ten years and here's where I'm at.
I go to the store regularly to keep an eye on inventory. I have way more personal cars than the rest of the family. I'll crack a TH and check it's performance no questions asked. My floor is concrete, we play for keeps. We do not duplicate cars, we fix them.
Ok, so that's me, and you, I know it.
This is a 5' test strip to help figure out the full track that is an ongoing battle of everything I am.
It's still wet so I haven't actually tested it, but I think it's going in the right direction.

that looks great. Looks like deer moss for the green.
that stuff has a nice texture and color
love that stuff!
FYI
if the track is too rough, or the surfaces get loose,
just use water and wood glue applyed
I mix in a srirachi bottle and drip it on after a light spritz of water
Keep us posted!

Sweet! It's amazing what you can do with a little imagination and determination...I very much like your diorama
Can't escape the "MADE FOR FUN" printed on the cardboard. Really sums up the whole shebang in a fine way!
Looks good. I have a good/great system for laying down dirt, from miniature gaming.
First coat black acrylic paint and pva, 50/50, then sprinkle with fine sand. Dry.
Then paint over a coat of acrylic in your basic earth/sand color, completely covering it. Dry.
Now dry brush this solid, yet very textured surface. Dry
Now use paint/glue mixture in places you want grass, bigger rocks, etc. Flock.
Cover whole thing in 50/50 water/pva.
Gives you durability, and cars roll better.
