Coaster models
Some of you may know about this guy, but for those of you who don't, this is an amazing site.
I don't know how expensive they are, probably very expensive. But if you really love a certain coaster, this would be a great way to show it.

I have seen this before, I think I stumbled across it on a Google search.
I agree, this guy has some unbelievable talent.

I once tried to make a rollercoaster out out of an erector set.  It didn't work though, I couldn't get the track to line up right.

I'd like to see him make an accurate model of Boulder Dash: that would really be a challenge

His Blue Streak model is featured at CP's Town Hall Museum, but there's also a huge Mean Streak model made entirely out of toothpicks, anyone know who made that one?

Nice models,it would be cool to see more steel models but the guy is more into wood models which is pretty cool also.

Yeah, I do believe they retail $500 bucks. But really, entirely worth it...this guy does it all by hand, and it probably takes him months or longer to complete the finished product.
Also, I would like to see a model of Villain made. I know I may sound silly, but the layout of a massive double-out n' back like that with steel supports would be great. Money should be saved for an education, but...

If I could get a model of Hercules for my birthday or something, I would probably orgasum in my pants.
Those things are really nice. That is some talent there.
I don't think Boulder Dash would be that hard. The design for the coaster itself is simple, he would just have to put it on a mini mountain. But, if you would want all the trees and rocks and stuff, that would make it hard. Of course, this is coming from the kid that used to get B-'s in art in elementary school.

Well you could make it yourself. Take a box of toothpicks, drop them on the floor, jump up and down on them and then pour Elmers glue on top. That's about what Hercules looks like now
OK - that was a cheap shot
