I really don't think color should be a part of this, even if K'nex does make tubing in the right colors. It's just too much to ask for if someone doesn't have the right stuff. And since I am Buildoff Advisor, I hereby declare color has nothing to do with the general coaster. This includes supports of different colored rods(grey/yellow, orange/gray, red/green/tan) have NOTHING to do with the general judging of the coaster, and if a Judge makes a ruling on the color of the coaster or it's supports the Judge's vote will hereby be nullified, so don't worry about the color of your supports.

^YES!
I'm have enough pieces to make it with using the same colors but why worry?
Kewl,

^^Good idea. When I made the coment about the color, I was thinking as of an xtra credit. Now I totally agree with you though.

[TwistedDreams]

^If the modles are neck and neck, then color should be little extra credit,
little.

^Thats a good idea although we probably won't need to use it.

[Antinos]

Can we get some progress with you guys? We haven't heard about anything in a while.

^^^^Is this for b-days and stuff?

As of now, all I need to build is the turn before the first drop, and the chain to the lift hill. If I wouldn't have had to move it to the garage, I would finish today. I hope TwistedDreams finishes his model. I don't want this build-off to turn out like the first one. Could I turn it in early? I'm not sure if I'll be able to use my computer Saturday.

[rollercoasterdan]

Go ahead, just PM a judge some pictures....PM.

[Spinout]

Great to here its going good! TD, how is it going with you?

[TwistedDreams]

Before I start, you asked. I completley destroyed my model as 0f Friday and restarted. i have the lift done along with the turn. I originally had it all the way to the loop and the transition up, but I didn't like the way it looked. I know I'll finish on time, but I will be rushed. Don;t worry though, I'm good at making fast models, most of mine only last a couple days anyway.

Sounds like you guys are doing a good job so far. I can't wait to see these.

[Chaos]

:confused: I'm used to using attatchments, but I guess you can't on PMs. Somebody help me!

If you want to send a PM to rollerdude for example, you click on his name, a little menue will appear. You select "send a privat message to rollerdude", and from then on, it's just like hitting the "go advanced" button on a quick reply. Well thats just how I do it, I'm sure that there are many other ways to do it...

[Chaos]

I did that, but the manage attatchments thing doesn't appear at the bottom of the page.

[zapa]

You can put the image into photobucket or putfile, then PM the link to the image...

[TwistedDreams]

^^so your 100% done? if i were you i'd spend as much time as possible making it smooth and stuff, but that's me.
OOPS, I just gave the enemy good advice!
