Bat-Mite is a small family coaster that will be styled after Sea Viper at Palace Playland.  So far I have the station completed, lift hill and the drop which will soon have supports placed on.  It won't be an exact copy of the ride as I'm going to be adding some of my own  elements onto the ride.  I wish I had enough blue X ties to complete the ride but they are tough to find as the are considered rare.

It looks great! It's quite colorful too haha. A thing that I would recommend is trying to standardize your cross-tie spacing. It looks like you're close to six per tie, but you'd be surprised how much it helps to clean up the look. I also mention this because you could add more length with the blue ties since you don't have a lot. And same with your flexi rods. If you stick to using the same color it will help too.

As for the shaping (this comes from someone who hasn't seen the actual ride yet), I would guess that you would need more banking on the latter part of the drop. Once you get the supports placed it could help to post a few more angles to be able to judge that.

Anyway, hope you have a whole lot of fun with this build!

I like to see these smaller models! We'll see what the drop looks like with supports, but I feel like the pullout either needs to be banked more, or the drop needs to be reshaped so that 90% of the curve happens higher up.

New drop. weird horse shoe like turn and new supports added.  The ride won't be exact after the horse shoe turn will come a turn around, hills a helix and break run or tire drive. I'm really happy with the way this is turning out. This will be my first coaster for 2020, it has been a rough year dealing with hardship and depression, building again really keeps my mind busy and happy.  For those who have not seen the ride I have placed 2 photos.

Looks pretty good so far, I like the colors! Although I think the bottom of the first drop needs more support.
