BoulderDash Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hey everyone, I have been working on a model of Wicked Cyclone for a while now and I thought I would share it here! I am not going to be able to update a ton because of college but It will be finished eventually! I plan on making it as realistic as possible with every detail and all the theming. These pictures are a little old but they will do for now, I added more supports to the first overbank, supports in the north section, and track to the stall. I think it looks pretty awesome!

CoasterB Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 This is awesome! I know how difficult this can be and it looks like you have done it spot on. last year I too was also trying to make a RMC model, but the project was brought to a stand still because I was having track problems, Can I ask what you have used for you track?

BoulderDash Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 ^light it on fire. Thanks, I think it's looking pretty awesome. I am just using small wooden sticks and gimp. It will be on hold for a while until I get a chance to work on it when I'm home from college, unless my brother gets some things done. I'll try to get some updated pics soon, it will look nice with the stall done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Haven't had the time to get a lot of progress done due to college and family issues, but I got a little work done today. Hopefully my brother will work on it more next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoulderDash Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Had a little bit of time to work on the model recently, should be able to get more done this week and once the semester is over. I have to make a few adjustments but I hope to do more on the lift and supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillflyer Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I am so happy that I see work like this coming from young folk, and GREAT work too. If you're doing work of this quality now, wait and see how good you'll be many years from now. This will get a lot of attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoulderDash Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks for the comments everyone! I love how the supports are looking too. The next update won't be until around Christmas time, gotta finish this semester then I will be able to work on it more. I did a little more on the lift. I am hoping my brother will have all unpainted parts painted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Here is a quick update of my model! I added a ton of supports to the north end, and almost have all of the ledgers in place, just need to do the lift hill. Gotta get some more painting done and finish the lift hill! There is a wicked storm heading in our direction, we need to launch the storm chaser vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Wicked Cyclone is now topped off! Love how the supports on the lift came out, now to do the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hopefully my brother will work on it more next month. Sooooo... who's actually building this model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have done all of the structural work and he comes in after and melts the glue strings and paints. I've just been having a tough time working on it because of college so I wish he would do a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Here is a quick update on the model, worked on the over bank, lift, and station. Next comes adding in the final two support structures, fencing, and more painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterKid211 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If I said this wasn't the best model coaster I've ever seen, you could call me a liar! Amazing work, keep it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Here are a few new pics of my Wicked Cyclone model. Still have a lot to do but it is getting there. I re-did the lift hill and the track from the double down to the first barrel roll. Will be putting up fences, paining the pathway, and finishing the supports and the station next.
