    Re: Ice Breaker 3-24

    Build the rest of the station and roof (if u want) and then it will probably be easier to make a bridge.

    Re: Ice Breaker 3-24

    On straight parts, like the station, it is better to use greys instead of flexies. Other than that this looks really good.

    Hmm, there's noting wrong with the name. The only thing is that spring hast just begun, so I would make up another name (more related to spring) and keep this name for a coaster built in winter.

    Re: Ice Breaker 3-24

    ^I agree about the name with you

    You did a good job so far, but do the thing that the others also said: First make the whole station and then come up with a plan for a bridge I'm curious how this coaster will turn out!

    My plan for yesterday was to finish the station, but I came down with a stomach virus with 101.3 fever. Ok i'll think about changing the name.

    Re: Ice Breaker 3-24

    Name's fine, just a bit better for winter than for Spring. For the bridge, just scroll through the winter contest of this year, I thought many people used a bridge because of the fixed layouts.

    I think Jaw Breaker would sound better.

    Re: Jaws 3-26

    I've always wodered how you SS builders are able to flex the grey rods. How do you do it?
    Also I think the station might need a little bit more added to it. Just do that and you'll be good to go!

    I looked at it and don't forget in the end i'm going to have a BRIDGE that leads to the station. And those are white flexis just so ya know.
    Keep on Commenting!
    Is the name better?
    P.S. I think i'm going to add the more supportive flexis with the extra rod on the side. The base I think might be 30x40 of those squares in the end. Also it's tube supported!

    What he said above and..

    Most VV coasters are on a pretty small scale, thus being too small to bend a gray rod. You have to keep in mind that SS builders will usually build on a much larger scale, so the rods will only bend up to a few centimeters at a time.

    Thanks, There will be a turn and then the lift
    I think i'm going to down size to about 25x30 or 30x30 but right now i'm almost out of blue rods. But with what I have left I will try to start the lift so I can put it on here.

    I suggest getting some bleu rods out of the station. And make the station when you are finnished.

    The big bal factory has ALOT of them.

    Re: Jaws 3-26

    Finishing the station as the last thing to do might get you started on actual building. But why do you need blue rods exactely? What is wrong with an alternative rod length? If you want to become a good builder you shouldn't feel limited by a base rod.

    What exactly do you mean?
    Today at school I finished my paper early so I came up with a layout. But i'm not going to tell you what it is YET.

    He means that you can replace some blue rods with red rod, it can save a lot of pieces.
    Jesus is my Savior!

    What's better than one rollercoaster? How about 5 of them?

    If only I had more space/pieces/time.

    I thought only blue rods came in that size or does he mean like on spot where it's not needed to use a green rod?

    Or just choose a different size rod.
