First knex coaster and I plan on finishing it. The coaster isn't going to be that long, I'm and just looking at strengthening it more. What I have so far is the drop and turn. Feel free to add things I need to improve on and other suggestions.

The pull out of the drop is a bit sharp and there are a couple of bumps entering the turn but otherwise, this is a pretty solid start you have here.

For your first K'nex coaster, the shaping is very smooth!
The amount of x-ties you are using is awesome! The more the merrier!
The only thing that could be improved is the sharp spot at the transition between the drop and the turn (it can be seen in the 3rd picture, 2-3 yellow rods off the ground). Other than that, I'd say that one of the two main box supports (holding up the lift) could be removed. It isn't necessary to have too many box supports in that area and removing one of them can save you quite a bit of pieces.
I'll be watching this coaster for updates!

Nice start looks smooth apart from the small sharp spot at the pullout. Good luck!
