    This is my recreation of Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Europe. It stands at 5ft. 4in. and utilizes only tube supports. I had to buy more pieces just to finish this masterpiece. But it was more than worth it. I think this was by far my greatest accomplishment as a builder. Simply because I did something most thought I couldn't do without the use of a booster. It took some tweaking here and there, but I finally got it to run smoothly on a cold night. When I took the final video.
