OK the main problem is, I don't know what style base to do it. I don't know if it should be flat (so I know I won't run out of peices) or boxed up (so it is easier to build)? Here are the pictures of me using the boxed up sort of base:
It is going to be 16x10, but the thing is I only have 100 yellows left...
So, I can carry on with doing it and use some of my granites, or just make it flat?

1: Make the 'Double box' follow the track, Eg: RCExtreme VV invert
2: Make a single but use 3D connectors to hold it up Eg: LaMbChOpZ's Winter Coaster
Please comment because I would like to get on with this coaster!

~stεεlspectrum~ : OK, I have done what you have said and I think I have got it
OK, not a big update on the coaster but there is a big update on the coaster. I have moved my bedroom to a bigger room but I have a smaller area because of what I have in my room. This means I won't be able to go with the layout and I have to do a new layout (sorry stig if your reading this)...
Also, I see many other tube supported coaster and I see there supporting is very wide out, and it looks like I am over supporting it. Here are the pictures:

It looks really good so far, but I would suggest making an A fram for the lift hills, not only are they strong if you build them correct, but they also will allow the chain lift to go throught them withouth having to thread it all throughout the supports for the lift.

Those supports for the lift look exactly like the ones I used for my lift before I terminated the lift and turned it into a launch.

I have got a frame on the lift if you look really close. Thanks anyway!
Well I am doing the turn and I am finiding this really hard and challenging but that all the thing's I should experiance on becoming a good builder. I just need a few tips on supporting on connect the tubes to the track (pictures do help aswell). The pictures:
I might bank it a little more but what do you think? Comment!

Kyo: No, it is only a Hyper Coaster or if you mean something else, it is not a dueling coaster
RCExtreme: I have added the banking. I did try making the turn become sooner the track becomes strained and brakes the connections from the tube to the track. If I have enough peices at the end of the ride, I will put the 'A Frame' supports on it (trying to conserve peices).
MichealG: They do work well, yes.
Well I have finished the whole turn and I am working on the transition to the other turn. Don't mind the un-supported track at the end:
Banked turn
Full turn
Transition
Comment!
EDIT: I see there is no banking on the transition and I will fix that...
