Finally! The thread is here! I have a few pictures but nothing special. The supports are strong, but the ground to support connections aren't the best.  I'm not sure what I should name it, but I'm thinking of 'Batman Vs. Joker' because it has yellow and gray supports with purple and green track.

Question of the day: should I build this in VV or SS?

I was gonna say VV because I thought Kirby's zacspin looked really nice with VV track, but if you have SS and you have different colored tubing, you could have green and yellow tubing or something for Batman V Joker.

Really creative use of color vs metallic pieces. That's something I've never seen before. I kinda like how the SS track looks, but if it's a wider color scheme you're looking for, then VV it should be.

I think I will use VV... So far, its just a mess lol.

Thanks, I'm still not too sure which track I will use, but I'll complete the supports before I decide.

 

 

Update:

Who thought the design of the supports was a good idea?!!! They are a pain!

I have started building the trains for micro, but I'm not sure if VV will be sturdy enough for this monster...

Great angle supports so far.

Just like KC's coaster, I'm not worried about the micro. I'm more worried about the stress of the chains on the lift. Those tubes look like a pain! (That's why I use box supports. ) I look forward to seeing the next update!

I'm only worried about the micro because the lift supports can't keep themselves at the angle that they are at. Which means the track needs to support the support haha. Thanks!

 

 

 

I finished the supports, I'm currently building the motor areas which will be attached to the supports, so its quite interesting, and I am using micro chain, no matter if I choose VV or SS track. I'm also working on the trains... If anyone wants the most updated on this, check my Instagram because I usually post pictures of what I'm currently doing: https://www.instagra...reations/?hl=en

The leaning support on the far left is the support that can't hold itself.

This looks pretty imposing I have to say. I quite like the way the colour scheme is working. It looks really nice.
