In my first few monthes on the site, I had an original

coaster called FANG. It was my debue coaster for my joining. Sadly, it was wrecked

after three monthes standing.

But, the legend of FANG did not stop

there. Sometime back in September, I was talking to my good friend CoasterFreak11

about FANG. He gave me the idea for building a FANG 2 model. I thought it was

great!

So for the last month, I have been building, adding and

adding scenary to the coaster. But, CoasterFreak11 had to go away for 3 weeks, so I

told him that as soon as he gets back, he'll be welcomed back with my go

ol' FANG 2 model!

Well here it is! I have five photos

for ya'll so here yeah go!

The first one is a pic of the first half

of the ride.

Wow. I rebember Fang, I accidentally built a model

with the same layout :lol: ....


Great job, but the tophat is very rough, try making the tower a little bit thinner.

But, even with that, the supports are amazing, I could not do anything

that strong!

Achully, it's very smooth. I made it smaller and the

coaster still packs a punch.

Nicely done! Your station is top notch and very

detailed and I like how you made it compact, thats very hard with knex.

Congratulations I hope to see more models from you in the future!

:)

Very nice! It's like a suped-up Xcellerator.

How many sets did the entire thing use?

The coaster layout is very cool but the top hat looks

all bent out of shape. The rest of the coaster os very good. I like how you used the

original K'NEX pieces instead of the SS recolors. The orginal colors are much

better.
Why don't you upload these pics to the gallery?
