I think the grey rods and the orange connectors look best but the grey rods with the brown connectors looks good too. Can't wait to see it run! :D


In a way, I was thinking the same about grey rods and orange connectors. Thank you for your input! I can't wait to see it run its full curcuit either! :D

You should enter this for TM, you would have a good shot at winning! Personally I would say the grey rods with orange connectors look the best but its all up to you :)


Hmmmm, i'll think about entering it, depending on when I finish. :) Like I said to Josh, I was thinking the same, and thank you for your input!

This is looking awesome! I like the grey rods and brown ladders best, but the btown and green looks good too.


Thank you! I was thinking the brown and grey look pretty good too, just kind of hard to decide which though. Thank you for your input!

I like grey rods and orange ladders but the coaster will be brilliant no matter what way you do it! :D


I was thinking the same, but like I've said before, it's kkind of a hard decision for me. Thank you for your input! :D

I'd say either orange or brown with gray rods. If you have enough pieces to pull it off, this will look great.


Yeah, I was thinking grey rods. Just not sure if I should use brown or orange ladders. And I believe it will look great, if I have the pieces, too! Thank you for your input!

I think you should combine them all into one catwalk. Possibly a problem solved! :D


Nah, I'm not trying to be overly colorfull, haha. Thanks for the input anyways! :D

I vote for gray rods with brown connectors. I feel like the other colors draw too much attention to the catwalk instead of the coaster.


Hmmm, I see where you're going with this. It's still kind of hard to decide about which one to use, between the orange and brown. Maybe I will just use brown though.

Been a bit more than a month since this last "update". I've had a few people ask me if I am still building Blue Streak, or what happened to Blue Streak, or something to that effect. Anyways, I've built some more of the catwalk so far. I've also started on the diagonal supports for the lift. I've had this lift fall down so many times, i'm surprised it hasn't been damaged very much!(usually only a few pieces disconnected or something) I have the 3 smaller ones completed(I'm pretty sure). The biggest one though, I believe I might have to order some more of them ball joint pieces, because they've came in handy while building the diagonal supports for the lift. Anyways, that's enough talking, onto picutures!

4th picture: Is that a straight spot on the top of the hill?(It seems like it would be since it is reflecting a light source that is more or less right above it.)
Edit: Also, in the video thumbnail, the hill's crest closest to the screen seems to have a sharp spot on it. Other than this, I don't see anything wrong with this.


I personally, don't think there is a straight spot on that hill I think it is just an illusion. This is looking like a very great re-cre

Timonator, everyone knows Blue Streak does not have a launch, it is obviously the lift hill.

Looks good, can't wait to see this thing running.

Looks very nice. It would be very cool to see eddy current brakes on the brake run, but you could always use just simple brakes and it would take away from the awesome creation you have.
Can't wait to see see the station! :)

Haha, thanks! I'm not sure when the next time is when you'll see this set up and running.

Never thought of that. I'll put that on my thinking list.

Thanks!

Some of you(several at least) have seen the beginning of the station. As the station isn't anywhere near completion, I was wanting to at least show you what I have done so far(and what happened to the brakerun and transfer track).
First off, the brakerun in its current state.
Posted Image
And now the station, and where the transfer track was/will be.

Next update may include the transfer track and more of the station, and the brakerun fixed.
