I've put quite a few hours into this build already, but here is my new coaster I'm building...Iron Phoenix. This is an RMC coaster that's going to do a giant U around my office like my previous office coaster (see below)

 

 

 

For the overbanked turn, I built the support structure to test how high the turn could go, and I'm going back and increasing the supports to the bottom of the zero-g drop, but I'm not done yet. This is just where I stopped tonight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my previous office coaster...Voyager...i built last year. My hope is to have enough momentum (and pieces to make it all the way around the office without the need of a second lift)

 

The signature element of Voyager was a long zero-g roll right over my ultrawide

This is very interesting it's good to see something unique. I always like the coasters that go all the way around people's rooms or houses.

My only suggestion is that you are a track work could be a little smoother but I'm guessing you're still in the rough draft phase of building. If you don't have any more parts it is definitely worth buying a few more of the track connectors just to have more stability and it makes the track look smoother.

Yeah I'm definitely not at the level most of you are, or have the time to really invest in it, but the other factor for me is pieces. The bottom picture shows the last office coaster I built and that about used up all my pieces (rods and connectors). I did buy a couple lots on eBay before building my Christmas model, but I just finished the new version of Iron Phoenix (had to scrap the original as I didn't have enough momentum to make it all the way around the office, and I barely completed this one, with some less than ideal supports/track shaping.

 

I think my goal here is to show people what can be accomplished without having like 20 sets worth of SS kits  and just having a little fun in my free time...though this model was a lot more frustrating to build based on the elements I chose to include...
