It's been a while since I've been able to start a new thread and I hope this one doesn't disappoint.
The Wicker Man has received pleasantly good reviews so far, but looking at it I don't think its going to set the world alight (no pun intended) as a top GCI.
One thing it does have on its side though is looks, aesthetically it's stunning, and that is why I've chosen to recreate it, because looks are the most important thing in model building.
As it's built on a slope, I've found a slight slope somewhere in my garden so the supports won't look massively out of proportion.
The roller coaster itself doesn't have a particularly long layout, so that should leave some pieces spare to focus on the theming and extra details. I've done a few little k'nex sculptures before, like the ship from Krake, and I'm really looking forward to giving the Wicker Man statue a go.
There's really not too much to look at yet, it's just to show you I have something in the pipeline.
I've built the odd lift hill, which changes angle half way up, and most of the first turn. I'll do my best to keep it to a decent scale but it's difficult as I could only find the plans before they decided to alter the first two drops.

I'll have a bit of time over Easter to do some more, but unfortunately I'll mostly be revising for finals. The big updates should come in sometime in July.
