Now that the Build something contest is over for me  :'(
I can show more pictures of my build.
First the raw materials, broken ornamental garden fencing
and the cassettes that hold razorblades. The first from the
garden & the second from a friend (JC) as I have a beard.

To start I had to remove (it felt like) half the garden from
the fencing. This is just the job for those old tooth brushes
you wouldn't let your wife throw away.

The 'cars' are the old cassettes, the seating is from old
Ice-cream sticks (Magnums & similar).

That is all the pictures I have at the moment,
but I hope to pose a few with some Zombies.

I agree, I love the angle of this last shot with the ride name prominent.

Thanks guys.
yes I should have put more on my build threat,
but I was very pushed for time, even with the
extension of the deadline. Maybe I'll be better
organised next year?  ::)

Now to find some zombies & take some more pictures. :)

Totally brilliant! :o :o I was under the impression that the cars themselves had been cut down from a commercial product. To see that they are made from recycled materials makes the build even better from my viewpoint. I would love to see a game put on inside what appears to be some kind of deranged carnival ruins.
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

Thanks Marianas.
As I am stuck with the Roller Coaster I may well
expand into a Fairground & use it for:-
Zombie, Ghost hunting, Post Apocalyptic etc. games.
I hope to post some pictures with Zombies in.

The extra photos show what an innovative creation it is...I love the ingenuity behind the coaster cars.

Can’t wait to see you make a giant Ferris wheel to go with it...a working one of course...with lights  ;) :D

A wonderful piece of work Pete, and great innovation.

Now if you you put pieces of scenery onto Spanish / British bases you will need less figures and be able to get more units onto the table to face the French horde. Wrong era - but there was mention of a thin red line :-).
