That aerial view looks sweet, some nice boots indeed. Good luck and I have no idea what it could be.

Pretty funky so far. That shape reminds me of a tadpole (that's the innocent option).

I think it looks good, but maybe one shaping flaw on the drop. Curved drops are always hard to shape like that and look good from all angles. It appears to be Thunderbird (-:

yes they are a pain. I reshaped it about two times. not a "fun spot" to be in ;)

thanks again, and no.


nobody has guessed it right yet. but i dropped a huge hint above. that will probably give it away. criticize the pictures and comment what you think it is :D

thanks haha ;). I'm working on fixing awkward spots.


I'll just tell you guys. it's white lightning at funspot! I'm surprised at how much I've gotten done already. I finished the double up/down and started the turn today. so far it's about 20ft long :D. I'm getting another ss, 2 rr, and an original soon so that's when the next update will be. here are some pictures!

I was not expecting to see that when I clicked on this thread but man, that looks good. Can't wait to see this thing in action.

Looks fantastic! A really clean and sylish build - plus you've really captured the way it snakes around!

My only complaint would be that from some angles the straight(ish) section looks a little too long to me, and if you could just make it start banking a little earlier, it would make this build even more fabulous!

It's marginal, but it seems to be constantly changing its banking if you know what I mean?

hey guys! I finished the turnaround, then my sister messed it all up. I didn't have any motivation to rebuild it, so I took it down. I also realized this is a summer project, and not one to be done during school days. with that being said, I started a much smaller woodie. it's Little Dipper at sfgam (I think). here's a picture. also, I might take another stab at white lightning later this year.

Well it's a shame that the other one got destroyed because that was looking great but what can you do? Maybe you can try it again in the summer if you want. This new one looks pretty neat and tidy though and the style fits it well. I look forward to the videos for this and whatever else you might do.
