Actually, I'm not done yet. I finished all the supports, so all I need to add is the last turn with the track, but in an effort to have a general color scheme, I am going to have to buy another shark run tomorrow. I just wanted to make sure I knew how to PM pictures to somebody.

upload to photobucket or an image hosting site, then you can paste the URL like this:

URL of picture

or you can send a link to a freewebs page with the pictures on them, or just send a link to a couple of pictures. You can't attach files to PMs last i checked.

I finally finished!!! I registered on photobucket and I'm just about to go and take pictures, but first I want to know if I have to post an overview picture first, and which judges I PM the pictures to.

Does anyone have a list of all the judges? I sent the pictures to Rollerdude, but I don't know for sure who else is judging.

EDIT: I received Chaos's PM so I'll assume the rest of the judges did too. TD, make sure you get yours in.

Well, Tinman never sent me a PM and I don't think that he sent anything to any other judge so I guess the winner of the first successful buildoff is Chaos!

I wouldn't consider it very succesful, someone didn't finish. Any way, Congratulations Chaos!

Yeah, I actually feel that nobody is taking this seriously. Its like nobody's committed to it.

I just uploaded the pictures to the gallery. Will I be able to enter it in the Top Model Contest? When I finish Panther, I'd be willing to do another build-off with someone who's sure they can do it.

Awesome job! But I think there needed to be more supports around the last turn, and a bit more after some of the turn after the lift. Awesome station too. Good job.

I think this is one of the most beautifull coaster on SScoasters:D
The only thing i do not like is the last turn. It looks really weak

The supports on the turns looked really flimsey. They weren't even connected. I still congradulate you for winning and finishing on time.

Actually, the supports on the last turn are very stable, but the ones on the first turn do move as the train passes over them. I wanted the supports to be as close to the real ones as possible.
