It's the Wildest Ride In The Wilderness!!

Post by Garbageman13 »

Image

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.

Ring ring! We have a winner! I love that ride, and I kept repeating the phrase when I built this thing.
Thanks for your thoughts!

God bless.

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 :mad: ). 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 :D
