Here it is finally, Catastropha!
After more than one year of construction it has 11 lifts and 17 paths!
For the full description and the slide-show please visit this website!
And here's the vid:


Oh, and I forgot to mention: I have created 6 vLogs to Catastropha, hidden, and if at least 20 people want me to publish them I'll do so.
And if you want me to take any more pic of Catastropha I'll also put that on my website! :)

Really cool and what camera was used to film this
Sorunome (author) in reply to OrangeprofessorApr 12, 2012. 6:44 AM
Thanks! I used Exilim from Casio.
Sorry, I don't know the exact number as I replaced the instructions but it has 30 ftps continuus shooting and can film up to 1000 frames per second.

Very cool. I love that lift near 8:00

Only question-how reliable is that 5th path?

Other than that great job! keep up the good work and 4.5 stars!
