Quoted from sc93cobra:

Custom built wireforms a customer made for a retheme, I believe. Let me tell you something, it takes a true artist to build these things. Being the curator of wireforms in this hobby, I can say, I've tried to find others to recreate ones I need, or others need, I've not had one ounce of luck with finding a single person to do them. I've even loaned a couple out for people to try, with zero luck.
Kudos to my friend here for making these for his game. I really should have taken a before pic, but here's the final product at least.

Here's that happy customer. What a glowing review of my wireforms, glad you liked my work! The game is actually a fully custom build (see Undertale in the homebrew subforum), but honestly I think the nicest looking part of it is going to be the chrome.

Conveniently, I did take a before pic. They were built out of raw steel rod stock with no additives or protections, so imagine this photo with more rust, which had managed to appear within a week of original construction. No more danger of that!

Why thanks!

They took a couple weekends, as I recall. It started with a printout of the ramp layout (created with Inkscape) and a careful arrangement/bending of the rods to match it. I only had to build one set of wireforms, but a couple of mount points did break. One has a visible repair on the blue VUK ramp, the other wasn't structurally critical (right ramp) and just got removed.

Don't forget to keep them polished and shiny!
