WOW! Right now, I'm working on a wooden Model, made from Match sticks. I've been working on it since Feb. and its only 75% done. Looks like I have a lot of work to do...;)

WOW! How did you get the B&M to look exactly like one? That is so cool! I need tips, my friend and I are going to take on a project of a scale model of Millennium Force, using metal pipes and bars, a soldering iron, and a lot of time a patience.

These are great could you send me the info on how you did your track design? I'm lookin to do a project in the future.

That is amazing!! It must have taken a while to build all those. Do the cars actually run?

The B&M one is nice, the Lego ones are ok. Why is someone standing on a boomerang in the first photo?

Wow that is cool.

WOW!! I think the rollercoaster is cool you would be a good rollercoaster designer!!!!

by the way does it run!!! :)

Cool! I'm in the middle of building my own woodie model...

Thanks for the comments mates. I will put up more info when I have the time.

Yup, all of the models work except for the LEGO Boomerang (Too much friction obviously, can only do one loop) & the Beemer (Wrong track, to be rebuilt & is way far from being completed. What you see is all there is.) Click on my member info for another pic.

BrandonR, that person on the Boomerang is me!

Lata,

Kev.

u have way to much time on your hands

thats cool!!

SFMMRULZ01, why would you make a comment about someone to make fun of them like that?

If you want to diss somebody about there hobbies, go somewhere else.

Taipan, keep up the great work!

Ta CPgenius. I don't mind what he said as that is so not the case. The Beemer was my final school year major project for '97. I worked my*****off for the whole year & had enough of it, so packed it away in the garden shed. The desktop toy was a 2nd last school year project for '96.

The LEGO Boomerang is from '92 and the Loop Corkscrew from '95. That is all, I haven't touched my LEGO for years as too busy with my R/C model helicopters.

I've always been fiercely jealous of those who could build things with legos. But envious in a good way. That stuff amazes me.

Nice work.

And Mr. SFMMRULZ01 keeps his hands busy in other ways. Don't worry about him.

Wow Taipan, I love the Arrow Double Loop ride, what did you use to for the track, and how did you assemble your pieces?

I used the rails from the old 12V (grey) and 4.5V/Unpowered (blue) train sets & turned them over sideways. Look at the photo carefully to see how I made the cars & cross-ties.
