Re: Schlepp

^yes, schlepp. one definition fits it, the other is the opposite.
um, part of it is launched...not this part.

Re: Schlepp

It might look better with a little bit more banking, but it's okay without it. Looks very interesting...I love outdoor coasters.

That last picture looks sweet for some reason...

Not over-heartlined, I think that with a little more banking it could be perfect.

Re: Schlepp

drop is complete. Remember, there will be a tunnel where the part on the ledge is, so the riders come out of the tunnel and directly transition into banking to drop off the ledge. I tried to increase the banking on the turn out of the station, but it won't do well without redoing the whole turn. I do not have the time to do so, therefore I will keep it the way it is. oh yes, time. I am kinda on a time constraint, but at the moment it is not extremely strict.

anywho, here are pics.








oh yes, here is the anchorage of the on-ledge supports


and this is something I just thought of today...

Maybe support it more, it only has 7 or 8 connections to the supports.

Re: Schlepp

DDRman: If speed is an issue in the coming elements, I will support it more. as for now, it doesn't shake, so I am fine with it.

LK: thanks, and if it rains, it rains. not much of a problem

Update: I've been working on the air hill. It turns about 30° as it crests...not sure if I should keep it or reshape it.

and yes, that is a slight name variation you see in the title

Re: Dr. Schlepper

I think you should reshape it. It looks good but i cant tell if it is smooth or bumpy.

Re: Dr. Schlepper

I reshaped the crest, but I might pull it down a little bit still.
I also rethought the layout, so I changed the exit of this hill.







It should be pretty obvious now that I painted the backdrop wall. I also did a similar scheme on the nose of the train, pictured below. I am contemplating doing it to the whole train. Any input?

So far, it looks great. I've tried doing that twisted drop in No Limits plenty of times, but it never comes out like what you just built. The backdrop looks great as well.

I like the train how it is now.
That 3rd Pic may just be the best pic of a knex coaster Iv'e ever seen.
But it seems like it will slam you into the side hard.

Looking great fastman! You going to enter this into the MOTY?

Just something about being outdoors adds a realistic dimension. Great job with the photography too.

Re: Dr. Schlepper

rollerdude: Thank you very much! I take that as a great compliment
BN: I think it wouldn't be as hard of a side impact as you may suspect. ...and I am very humbled by the picture comment!
g14: thanks! I might do that soon.
BGT: Many thanks! I am definitely entering MOTY (finally, haha). I feel the same about the outdoors. I think that has become my forte, accentuated by my lack of adequate indoor space.

I am currently using up all remaining daylight to countinue construction; I have set a drop-deadline of next Thursday morning, seeing how I need to have it mostly down by that Saturday morning.
