Looking forward another week, plus pictures!

This week I plan to not only have the entire box done with its painting design, but also the addition of three new systems into the box. The marbel track is complete, the racecar track must be installed, and the airplane track must be added in as well. This will be complete, or very close to completion by Friday. The picture you see below are of the coloring scheme for the box in proccess, as well as the color scheme for the marbel track.
