[Miniature] Rollercoasters

[Miniaturized]

Hey all, big fan of TPR on youtube and only today learned there is a forum as well!

 

Wanted to share some pictures of a miniature version (scale 1:1200) of the Rougarou in Cedar Point:

 

Arrived in translucent material:

 

After a layer of primer and the first red "stripes" of paint:

 

Rougarou with painted tracks:

 

Rougarou finished with supports painted:

 

Hope you like it

Painting took me +- an hour.

This is awesome. Did you 3D print it?

[Miniaturized]

Thanks!

Yeah I did, I've created like 5 or 6 different rollercoasters including the Raptor, MF, Intimidator 305 and a Vekoma SLC

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I am sure we would love to see all of these!

[Cj1990]

Absolutely would love to see them all!

[hillflyer]

Ooooo, pretty..

 

The possibilities with those printers is endless.

[Samuel]

Absolutely would love to see them all!

 

Yeah, put me down for wanting to see more pics, as well. This could change my indifference to 3D printing in a hurry. Very cool!

[Miniaturized]

Haha thanks guys!

Will post some pictures of the Raptor in the afternoon

 

Not sure if allowed to share links but you can buy them online and paint them yourselves.

 

Here is a bonus picture

Alright, next! Raptor, also in the same scale 1:1200

 

With a layer of primer:

 

Tracked painted:

 

With the supports painted:

 

Inverted Rollercoasters are way harder to paint!

 

Oh and another bonus picture:

This looks awesome! I'm definitely interested in seeing more!

[Cj1990]

I now want a 3D printer lol.

[Miniaturized]

Note that you don't really need to own a 3D printer

 

These are 3D printed at Shapeways.

Once you order a 3D printable model, they will print on high resolution industrial 3D printers and ship it to you directly

 

Not sure if a desktop 3D printer at home would be able to create a delicate rollercoaster.

For those who don't have an ability to print/create our own, would you consider selling?

[SFOG1991]

This is amazing! Really cool work. How long does it take you to paint one on average?

 

This makes me really want a 3D printer. I'd love to do all the SFOG coasters, or even a tiny model of the entire park haha.

 

I would definitely consider buying some models, depending on the price.

[DoinItForTheFame]

Wow! I love the level of detail! Keep up the good work. I too would love to see more!

[hillflyer]

Looks great if you want to do it the lazy way. Just kidding....

 

These would be a great prize in cereals.

[TheCoasterKid211]

I want these on my nightstand.

[Miniaturized]

Thanks all!

 

I'll keep you all posted, with a bit of luck I'll be having some pictures of a painted Intimidator 305 later tonight.

 

 

Edit:

[Miniaturized]

Not a real good picture.

 

Will take some better ones with daylight this weekend!

 

Edit: the collection (including a broken Medusa/Bizarro)

Here are some better pictures:

 

 

[Canobie Coaster]

These are awesome! Have you considered trying a wooden coaster yet? I imagine the supports could be more difficult from a material consumption point and then painting the supports.

[Miniaturized]

Thanks!

 

Would love to do a wooden coaster, but as you mention it will be tricky will material cost and painting.

But even hard would be to actually 3D design one,, the support structure on those coasters are gigantic.

[SteelForceless]

^ Looking good! That's Xcellerator, right?

[RideofSteel]

Wow, these are amazing! I love the Bizarro and SLC models.
