Archelaus

Archelaus is Greek for "rule of people".
This is my new invert that I have worked on for the past 4 days. It looks near perfect IMO. I also tried for realistic supports. And before I made the Immelman it looked like Batman. Pics:


















Next up is a helix. I wanted the first few elements to be like Talon/Patriot. Not sure what after then but if I do a twister section (which I am hoping to) it will be under the lift/drop area. Comment please!

Re: Archelaus

Looks sweet, personally, i'd love to see a batwing! I know it's not like Talon or Patriot but hey maybe you could fit it in. Keep up the good work!

How many pieces and sets do you have now?

Re: Archelaus

^wow thanks!!!

^^dont know if I could fit a batwing on here, maybe my next though. I have a scorpion, a Phoenix, a griffon, and 3 small expansions. I also have 1 extra car for the invert train and a zero car for it (not on it yet). Thanks!

That zero-g is amazing, it looks exactly like the real ones on B&M inverts! I haven't seen a ton of CD coasters before, but this is awesome!

Update! Almost complete. I just need my Yellow Rails and My "zero car" to come. All the spines and supports (minus one small one) are up though. Pics:





Cool view:


Lame straight part before final tight helix (silver bullet like)

Re: Archelaus

You should have a brake run and some catwalks or something, cause this thing is super-realistic looking....nice job.

Re: Archelaus

^^Thanks! I used all the speed and length I could get out of a 2 foot lift. Pretty amazing I could even get it this long. I could make some breaks to put in the station area but I'm not sure if it would engage the lift when it comes back through if I did that. Dunno about Catwalks.

^Thanks!
