Beyond the 8 elemental disasters, 12 more modules push into full "movie set-piece" territory — rigged characters, chase vehicles, and full-scale action beats instead of pure elemental forces.

Where the 8 elemental disasters are about a force acting on the miniature — water, fire, wind, impact — these 12 add a rigged character, vehicle, or set-piece into the frame, closer to a real action-movie stunt sequence than a pure natural-disaster shot.
A towering original creature rig lumbers through the grid, dwarfing both the miniature and the full-size crew operating it.
Wire-rigged miniature helicopters or planes sweep low across the skyline on practical cable rigs.
A motorized track rig drives a miniature train, car, or truck through the model at speed with practical debris kicked up alongside.
A rigged bridge, tower, or crane buckles section by section as pull-cables release and dust cannons fire.
A large miniature ship on a motorized track carves through the FX water tank with practical waves and spray.
An elevated drop rig releases tons of practical fake snow down a mountain model in seconds.
A wire-suspended hovering craft drifts above the skyline with practical light rigs and wind-machine haze.
A full-size hydraulic rig walks a giant robot through the model streets, each footfall crushing miniature buildings.
Industrial dust cannons and wind turbines blast a dense wall of practical sand across the set.
Rain bars, wind turbines, and a water tank operate together as strobe rigs simulate lightning overhead.
Pyrotechnic fire bars paired with a rotating wind rig spin flame into a vertical vortex above the set.
Hydraulic shaker platforms vibrate the model while a hidden rig splits the street open beneath it.
The two categories combine well within a series — an elemental episode followed by an extended one keeps a season from feeling one-note. For the elemental 8 in the same depth, see the disaster types breakdown, or browse ready-made combos across both.
