You have the perfect size room.You guys are throwing this thing back up fast.

[Maxlaam]

Uhm.. I realy wanna help constructing again... I didn't come last Sunday he was at his g'f maybe next Sunday then eh? Gump?

[Jogumpie]

^I wasn't. I have been working on this the whole day. I will be at my g/f's house next Sunday. I may build a bit today, but I also have to do my job.

[RCT2123]

Wouldn't it be a killer if you put the whole thing back together, exactly the same, and it doesn't work?...(Knocks on wood)...Lets hope that doesn't happen aeh?...

-Rct2123:cool:

[Jogumpie]

^Not gonna happen, lol. It would require quite some friction to stall the train before the end.

The first track has been placed; the turnaround into the lifthill. The lifthill's track is at about 1/3.

Just came back from a long weekend (read ^^^). It seems my brother tried to sleep in my bed, as he is taking over my room after the summer. Now the whole lift hill has collapsed... The part underneath my bed is also damaged, so I will have to do the whole lift all over again... I'm so happy.

[Maxlaam]

Ow... I already know who did it... The Lil' bastard!

99 posts!! gosh this is a historical moment
*Maxlaam nears his 100th post on ssc.

(happy happy happy )

[Jogumpie]

The lift is up and working again.

I may use the heartline technique I used on Sagittarius to heartline the first drop. If that doesn't work, I'll just use the drop I built before.

[jawharp1992]

If I may say, use the old drop. It was perfect when you made it before, so don't mess with perfection. I you mess with it, it might be harder to make, and might cause a bunch of problems with speed and such.

[Maxlaam]

100th post yay!

Anyway I prefer the old drop too. It looked good anyway so why mess whit it?

Good luck!

-Mxlm

[RCT2123]

He is trying to make it better, it was not perfect, and I would like to see it made better. If not, he will use the old one which I agree was fine. I don't see a problem with trying to make it better though...

-Rct2123:cool:

[Jogumpie]

If the new drop turns about to be worse, I can always go back to my previous version. It's not that hard.

[Jogumpie]

Still working on the pull-out. I am not that happy with it... I love the heartlining I did, though.

Hmm... I thought that new drop would at least give me some comments.

Anyways, I rebuilt the overbanked turn. It was quite hard. Certain parts weren't clearly visible on any picture, so I had to replace them by something else.

I can see I will have a lot of work at the expo; the track needs lots of shaping after the tubing has been put on.

[Verwarold]

I'll give you a comment;) it looks good and good luck with shaping the turn

[Antinos]

Can you give us more pics of the drop? The heartlining is great from what I can see, but thats all we can see.

[Jogumpie]

Here's some more pictures of the drop (and more). I made quite some progress, but I forgot to get the overbanked turn on the picture. It's surrounded by knex boxes, so yeah... Anyways, pictures!
