I have now laid out my track and got a basic cart design which successfully animates following the track. I have also mounted a camera that goes round with the cart. Although I need to add some tweaks to where it shoots. However this will be easier once my scenes are in place. The track went into place without too many problems, I drew it out using the line tool and then spliced them together, next to give it track like appearances I drew out the shape I wanted separately and then using the 'custom section type' tool I integrated the shape to the track. The cart came from a box that was then extruded in different areas, I plan to add more appropriately themed details to it later on. The cart was then animated to follow the track and rotated at corners and so on.
I also learnt how to re-create objects from images, by drawing around the image using the view port background in front view. Then the outline appears in perspective view which can then be extruded to create the object. For the gravestone below, I traced the outline of the cross and then added to circle afterwards, by drawing a standard circle, using the outline tool to create the ring and then extruding it.
