It's the Wildest Ride In The Wilderness!!
Built for the Brickarms Wild West group contest!
Gunslinger Clint Dillon and deputy John Quinn hunt down two crazed criminals that have stolen a cartload of precious silver and gold. With a nasty shoot-out and chase ensuing, can they hope to retrieve the gold and arrest those nasty crooks once and for all? I don't know, but that dynamite sure don't look like it'll help...
Kudos to anyone that recognizes the reference in the title.
Comments and critiques welcome!
God bless!

Oh yeah, and the model's nice too! I like the vertical scale of it, as well as the details like the scorpion on the ledge and the cactus down below.

I love it. I especially like how you built such a tall hill on such a small footprint.

Darnit, I've been on the ride but forgot the phrese (the only announcement I can still remember from that trip was the monorail ones in spanish, and I can't speak spanish ). Awsome stuff. Although I don't built in the western theme I have a love for it, especially anything with rails in it. I love the sudden drop effect and the bacstory that sounds like a set description. Hope you do well in the contest
Back to the front!
