I meant second to last photo, and also after the second roll.

 

Also I just realized that this is my 100th post.....

It sure is twisty isn't it. I think some variation in the support structure wouldn't go amiss if you have the pieces. Right now it's mostly just the same box supporting the whole thing with some track winding around it. If not then at least you've given a complex layout a pretty good go and it's turned out very interestingly.

Well, there I won't do more, otherwise I need to do the whole turn new and also I need to look that the car is making it around the turn! :/

I'll look where I can change it to look better

I actually wanted to do also a POV, but the Keycam I bought for this is rubbish! Sorry

But as a small preview I have here the Thumbnail:

I like that picture! How do you attach a camera to micro cars? I have the Gopro Session and it should be able to fit if I take off the back of the cars. How were you going to do it?

Thanks :)
I attached it with a thick rubber band, but because of that, it can't go thru the boosters! The camera I have, is pretty small and flat (Hyundai mc 1010). But like I said, the quality of that cam is rubbish!

I like the final video and the good amount of angles included. I also think you've done pretty well with your pieces and I hope you're happy with it.

Well done! I think it turned out quite nicely, and as CW5X said, it's seriously impressive given the small amount of parts!

Boosters aside, I think your speed efficiency (the holy grail of building micro coasters) seems to be pretty good, with not much shaking at all and it seems to run fairly well too.

A nice regular micro structure is always nice to see too!

 

I think we can officially call you the best K'NEX builder in Switzerland ;)

Wow nice job!  One of my favorite coasters.  Impressive to pull this off with slim track.  Hope you won't get offended if I do this one in SS someday... don't worry at the pace I build that could be 10 years from now ;-)

As FTGU said, nice job on this model. Yes there are a few minor sharp/straight spots here and there but I'm starting to get picky.

 

(I don't mean to sound rude when i say this but...) ^ Anything is possible with the power of boosters!
