GCRC Flashback 2013

My first shots at GCRC were a long time ago, but when I go back though the archive, the memories come back.

Side by side from the start

GCRC Final Battles Part #2 Closure

GCRC - Gold Coast RC Raceway has been a big part of, not only my RC Drifting Hobby, but many many enthusiasts who passed through the doors over the last 3 years.

I wish to express the wishes of all by saying a huge Thank You to the GCRC Owners Martin and Marianne Moolman.

GCRC 4 Door Festa

 GCRC Raceway's next fun event.... The 4 Door Festa is scheduled... for 12 April 2015

GCRC Super Sunday Session 2015

What an afternoon. Everyone getting their drift on!

Maybe a little 86 domination, but there was more than just a few 86's circulating door to door.

GCGC New Lines

GCRC Drift Tracks have been under construction for the last few weeks but the end of construction is almost complete and the decoration can begin.

GCRC New Year

New Year, New Stuff, New place, New Styles.

GTSTR Debut.

in among a melle od machinery.

RWD and CS.

Finding new ways around a new layout.

out on your own.

Or latching on to another.

Imagery is bare until the theme is complete.

Many on track.

Being chased...

Or chasing.

Have fun and enjoy 2015.

Diorama Sunshine Shoot.

I moved the diorama outside where the backyard should be...

While not in direct sunlight. I still have a more realistic lighting situation.

Pretty happy with the result considering how rough it actually is.

Size is 900mm (3ft) x 600mm (2ft) base with building 300mm (1ft) high

This space will be for all to use. So I hope to see everyone getting creative.

GCRC Workshop Backyard Diorama.

Well, she's finished. Just in time for the new year.

You would have noticed in my previous GT-R delivery post that the diorama was almost done.  But the minor details were outstanding. Having disposed of the GT-R and pushed the motor-less 86 inside.

It was time to finish the diorama. My Gemini was the first to be shot in the backyard. Lights are on, but in fact it's daytime. Who left the lights on?

Someone had been testing the stencil on the checker plate. I wonder who? Who left that lug nut out there also? Might have to put a hose out here, cause the Gemini needs a wash!

Basically, there's enough room to get one car here or you can squeeeeeze in a second. The 180sx is a bit long so it's a single shooter. I lay down some off cuts and a few posters and stuff in the corner. the hot shot and grass hopper will stay with me though.

This is the kind of imagery I hoped to get. Maybe I'll hang the logos... I'm not sure yet.

I wasn't going for 100% minute detail. Just an overall image. I could spend another 200 hours doing more and more and more. But the return is not there. 

What you already get is a fantastic photo-spot. I had these first shots unlit and indoors, so the reflections are harsh. But you get the idea. 

The cars can be the stars. I'll be taking this down to GCRC when they open in 2015. Expect so see some awesome shots of the Moolman's S13 in here.

GCRC Shed Diorama continues.

TE37 RT now installed on the DRB. Grass added to the backyard.

TE37 RT! Just need to add the machined lip and logo.

The Shed is going to make a nice place for photography!

Diorama +86

86 and Diorama continue to progress.

The front is very robo-bird like.

Tries changing up the wheel selections.

The spice TE37 +13 are now TE37RT with detail to come.
