That looks like a really high speed corkscrew.

Or a really slow one that will give hangtime.
What does the little black clips do? I never knew why you people do it.

I'm no SS builder. But I think it makes heartline elements smoother.

That's exactly what it does, though I chose not to use them for larg rolls. This looks interetsing. I see it's for summer heat

Okay, so some context.

I'm entering the small coaster contest (hopefully). I don't have a lot of space to build, so I'll do my best. The style I'm going for is euro-fighter-esque, but it turned out more sprawling and less compact. It's probably because I'm building with tubes. This coaster is going to be quite a bit of trial and error, so I don't plan for it to be as refined. The element I have (the zero-g/corkscrew thing) is the last element, and I'm building backwards from there. I also forgot a majority of my x-ties at home, so that's going to be interesting.

Anyway, pics:









As always, advice is appreciated. I'm completely new with tubes, so this is going to be interesting.

This is looking very nice so far! Looking forward to following construction!

4 pictures in the update? Crap, now I have to type 4000 words. On another note, I really like that corkscrew.

[crazyracer]

I live the fast style corkscrew I think it`s gonna be a cool layout

[DDRman732865]

So this is still happening, kinda. I'm hoping to finish this before the deadline, although I am going to get super busy in about 2 weeks. So we'll see. I'm trying my best to get the shaping right, but both time and space are a factor (I can't even stand up in this room). Also, I'm doing my best with the tubes as well. It's a completely new experience for me, and I feel like I'm at least compliment with them. Ideally, the coaster will be set up somewhere else, somewhere with a level floor and a decent ceiling. Also, I apologize about the strange color scheme. I will change the tubing eventually, but the cross ties say. I'll do my best to integrate it into the entire layout.

I really wish I could fully refine this coaster, but time always seems to be the enemy with my projects. Anyway, pics or it didn't happen.











I still appreciate feedback, as always. Don't let my pessimism throw you off.

The turn is looking pretty nice along with the rest of what you have. Looks like you and Zach have something in common...

I didn't really get enough pics of the overbank. Here;

. I'm cleaning my room finally.

Looks great so far, better hurry up though!

[DDRman732865]

Son of a bitch, I did not mean to post this. Sorry.

[Chubs33]

Damn this looks really nice.

Do you think you are going to finish on time?

[Helmut]

Looks good, it is nice to see you participating in Summerheat this year.
