that grass/weed effect looks amazing would of never thought of it

Yeah^
Really realisic, solid man!

Murdock this is the most amazing park ever shit, love the realism of it the grass between the bricks omg <3 it's just missing a couple rails and tricky obstacles now

triforce

you are the first person spending that much in detail and it's just insane, its almost like a miniature skatepark
love the details

Dont know how to quote multiple so thanks guys.

The grass is made by a model train co. called woodland scenics and i think it worked pretty good, I just ran a tiny amount of elmers glue down the cracks and then sprinkled some "grass" on, and lightly pressed it down on to the glue once it was dry you just wipe off the excess and vacuumed the whole table. This stuff is basically shredded and dyed memory foam.

Bobber, TRIFORCE!! lol It's actually 5 triangles.

I have some ideas kicking around about some obsticals
heres a list of some things im thinking about.
tree stump/bench for the cup holder cap.
lights/lighting
moveable metal electrical box on its own concrete slab.
moveable flat rail and round rail
parking lot pole jam with chains
smashed up shopping cart if i can find one and its metal

I'll post progress pics later. Thanks for looking

I have to say I have felt this way about alot of the hobbies I have/had over the years haha.

Seems as though the states are more about an image than fun with friends, I have only even heard of two other fingerboarders in my area outside of the forum. Otherwise it's just me and some friends who mess with it when they're over here lol. This park when its all done may be going to my local skate shop to see if it gains any interest, If that doesn't work out im gonna get a piece of glass fitted to make it a table when not in use.

YES PLEASE!! All of this sounds spot on man, you rock!

I think it would be a little too crowded

Huh..why crowded when half of it is moveable.. The only things he is sticking on there is the asthetic related things for the cup hoder cap, lighting, polejam/chain thingy and a smashed shopping cart..

I am shure it will only compliment what is already there..

DUDE ! I pressed the Citation multiple button thinking it was to quote last two posts sorry if i broke the internet...

Any how as bakko said all the things im going to add will be all moveable objects.
My plan is to make anchors in the bottom of the object and the "female fitting" (pen tubes glued in flush into the table) will hold the object(s) in place. worked on a mold for the trunk today and it didn't hold that well, so Ill try again tomorrow.

And yeah with all that stuff at one time it would be really crowded as it already kind of is... I was limited for platform size and the concrete i used was not as thin as i had intended.So I lost about an inch of flat surface atw around the park.. oh well. It's still fun.
BTW Bobbernaut sent me a link to a shopping cart off ebay so I have that on the way but its going to be a while before it gets here from china. usually about 2 weeks

Woohoo im mentioned in it haha!

You're welcome!

Ok guys, I started the rails and now need to get a masonry bit to drill the holes for them to go into the table. Im gonna be so pissed if it cracks lol. Also found a small amount of chain, but i will need to get more. Ill post pics of my progress later on today.

:::side note:::

My neighbor is a Trophy maker and is throwing out all these marble bases! So i may start another park sooner than I had planned

Update?

Not a big one.

But I did get the rails fitted to the table and one of them painted.(not my best paint job haha). I will try to add some detail to them sometime tomorrow. I'm still waiting on the little shopping cart, thought it came today but it was a small box for my neighbor... Oh well.

Pictures!

some bike parts in the planter gap.

Nice
Not much for where you've put the giant yellow rail though :/

Yeah its a little long, Im not sure if i really like the look of it but i like skating it, also its removable, just snaps in and out, and I really dont like the color yellow TBH anyhow.
