It looks ok, but do you have a better camera, sorry but those pics are terrible. I can't tell much, so can you post some better pics, although it does look pretty good so far.

O.K. so a while since an update, but here we are! I finished the element, wich turned out to be an overbank and it is lookin spiffy and feelin sturdy.
I put the tree where it goes and I've started the turn that will be tunnelified..

take a look and tell me what you think.

It looks smooth, but, I would advise you to keep the second half of the overbank banked all the way to the turning pullout and make it more like a turning drop. To do this I would bank that straight spot and move that part to the right towards the dresser. Also, there looks to be a sharp spot about a grey in at the end of the trackwork.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I don't spot any problems from that picture, except maybe a bump in the pullout. Are your braces Christmas-colored too?

EDIT: Exactly what he^ said, about the banking too.

[Blackkitty]

Yeah there is a large straight spot in the overbanked and the pullout is a little sharp and bumpy.

Ok, I made the drop into a turning drop and found a use for my Social Studies book!!!!!

It's REALLY sturdy and the book is for the shaping right now.
take a look!

Okay.....there is a slight sharp spot at the top of the over banked turn....but not big enough to worry about. So....I guess move on.

[Cedars650258516]

^Haha, ya thanks, it's because It was a quick banking so it created a sharp spot.

UPDATE!!!!
I finished the turn and made a little shoopdewawa thing before the doopedydowha before the overbank.


COMMENT!!!

After this I got the doopedydowha before the overbank and then I'm done!!! idk if I'll put more than a doopedydowha or not, but I'll have to see...

I finished the turn and made a little shoopdewawa thing before the doopedydowha before the overbank.

^lol

looks good man. i like how it wraps around the chirstmas tree with the knex snowflakes and star on it. good job on the smooth track work!

[Jumpge]

It actually looks pretty nice, but being critical there is a sharp spot on the top of the overbank, and that is all. Looking nice man, keep it up!

[love4kanex]

It looks great just the part i have circled in red is rather rugged. It might just be from the camera angle though.

[-=TK=-]

You're ^ right, if you look at the first picture you can see that it isn't the camera angle, but for the rest it looks very nice!

[Cedars650258516]

all of ^^^^ It's fine, I was going for a close-to-the-ground-kind-of-Maverick-type feel to it so I'm keeping it... I might smooth it out if I lose speed

UPDATE!!!!
I finished the overbank and it looks HORRIBLE, but idk what to do so it's the best i can do for now
What I might do is I might just loop it aroung the first drop and have it come over the drop AND the shoopdedowha thingy-ma-bobber.

[Blackkitty]

Can you post more pictures of that turn? It looks undersupported and bumpy.

[Cedars650258516]

^it doesn't need anymore pictures, it is exaclty what you said, hahaha. I will fix it tomorrow, pics up in about 2 days



EDIT AND UPDATE!!!!
Okay, so I finished the whole "widening the overbank" and It sucks, but It's better so I will keep it
here are pics!



Comment, I know it's not perfect but due to time, I have to keep it

:rein DONE BY CHRISTMAS :rein!!!!!We all hope
