In the above link was my only custom made model built in 2003 & never touched my K'nex again until beginning of this year when I went to WBMW Australia with my wife for my 40th birthday and rode DC Rivals Hypercoaster! Wanted to recreate it and came home and pulled out a SS set and built the junior coaster with my 8yro nephew as a warm up.
As I had only 2 SS sets, went nuts on the local equivalent of ebay and Facebook marketplace and bought another 10 SS and 5 RR kits!! So much cheaper than when new!
However our apartment is too small for an exact recreation so have heavily modified the layout. Thought I'd share pics with you guys. This is insanely ambitious for only my 2nd custom build but am determined to see it to the end!! Very steep learning curve as I go.
The model stands at 203cm/80 inches. That is a 147cm/58 inch TV for reference. Next is building the non-inverting loop through the drop support. You can see a yellow crosstie on the 2nd horizontal support from the ground, that is the top of the loop.
Any comments are welcome and thanks for looking!
