If you want to see a loop look at mine. it might be hard to build from it because it is so big but it gives you an idea of how one should look. Hope this helps.

No offense, but that loop has a TON of supports! Too many for my liking.

Yes, I know, but is it seems like there would be a more asthetically pleasing way to support the top of the loop. Only my opinion though.

I agree with cdrptrks. I think. I don't like the way people are using the original K'nex coaster style of supporting. I saw it also on a cobra roll on these boards.

By the same member, he does it will all his rides, it's ugly and looks fake. The shape is good, but the supports are dumb.

So you guys don't like my Schwarzkopf coasters loop?!?!?!
when used right, they look very nice. Espeacilly on woodies.
But on that loop and C-roll, it didn't "fit".

I think the curving box supports looks good on loops. It only looks ugly if you have a whole different support system underneath.
