Well, while waiting for my info about Superman: Ride of Steel, I have decided to do an accurate recreation of D?????????j????????? Vu.
And here are the results so far after a days work:

The last big thing I have to do is build the station. I just wish there were better pictures of it.

Theres something wrong. The supports on the bottom of the two towers are too narrow. They need to spread out more.

hmm, well I think that that picture up above might have a slight fish eye effect happening from the perspective setting nolimits was on.
Here is a better quality picture from a slightly different angle and compared to a real picture of DeJa Vu:

oh and I have scrapped the whole station idea, due to my lack of time and skills.
so if anyone else has free time and would like to build it, be my guest :D

Dude ... this looks wonderful! Remember to control that pumping on the inversions. Holler if you need a tester man, I'd be happy too!
