Indy Yard of Bricks

[pje]

I'm looking at doing at bit of a finish line Vignette for an Indy car. There are some acceptable brick prints available in 1/24th scale for doll houses, but I thought that I would throw this out there. Does anyone have a really good photo looking straight down at the finish line at Indy? (Scale is not a problem, as I can work with that) I know this is really wishing into the wind as the only vantage would have to be aerial, but if I would never ask.......................

Thanks,

Several years ago, I bought a plastic display case in that scale which had a yard of bricks made into it. I believe it was Revell. Don't know if that helps but...

Thanks, I have that display case, but I wanted something a little different. After I posted this question last night I went to bed, and of course it was running through my little mind. Then I remembered. I have a Carousel 1 base with the yard of bricks on it. ;D Put it on the scanner and run it through Photoshop and here is what I ended up with.

Here is a display I did using a rubber sheet of bricks from those porcelain village collections that sale during Christmas time. I had to weather the bricks. I thought it turned out fairly well. This was my first 1/24 Indy scale build. I collect and customize 1/18th scale now. I have plenty of this stuff left if you want some I can send it to you. Just PM me if you want.

Plastruct makes several patterns of brick in sheet plastic.
Just an idea.
