That is amazing!

@andygatt Thank you! I see on your channel we basically use the same material! Very nice to see. I like the half pipe. Thanks for your comment. greetings, Simon

@simonvanthoff Your marble run is mostly made of paper? I thought it was made of metal or plastic! That makes it even more amazing.

[simonvanthoff]

@andygatt Yes, it's made of paper, but all this paper routes are glued on about 250 wooden sticks, to give it strength. There is a link in the description where you can also see some of the photo's. The 'Supertramp marble run' is also made in the same manner, there are also photo's there, where you can see it building up.

@simonvanthoff I found the photos you mentioned. I can certainly understand why it took so long to make your marble runs.
