Well, I have to say it looks nice. I'm guessing the next element is a nitro turn/hammerhead.
Yeah, just raise the gears and you're good.

^^ Actually, no it's just a 180 degree turning drop.Thanks for the comment!
I can't get the pictures tonight, it's too late. I'll have them by tomorrow, though.

Double post, but I have an update! Sorry that I didn't have the pictures yester day, I was just really busy.
I'm aware of the bumps on the turning drop in the last pic. They have been fixed.
If I can get my dad to let me get an acount on Photobucket, I'll be able to get a test vid.
Enjoy, and COMMENT!

Wow-that's greatly shaped. You've got some nice skillz for a n00b.
Well, all I can say is that there's a straight part in the airtime hill. Make it look like this:
Otherwise, great.

^^Thanks, I'll get a side view when it's done....also, I'm not really much of a n00b to building, I've been building since last summer.
^I've just asked him once, and he said he would look at it. I don't know why he needs to though.

I see nothing major, except for the straight part.
I started building the end of November.

Time for an update. I have WAY more than this done, so I'll just give you this update first, and the rest later.
Vid! Yay! http://s277.photobuc...nt=MOV00270.flv
Enjoy and comment!
EDIT: Sorry for the tiny last picture, I don't know what happened to it...
BTW, any name ideas?

You really need to lube your trains, it will make it over the first hill easier if you do. But other than that it looks really good.

HI!
Posted 20 April 2008 - 04:18 AM
Yeh it looks really great for an amateur (I hate the word n00b) but on the drop down towards the airtime hill theres a bump (last pic) And quite a big bump at that. It may be an optical illusion, I'm not sure.

^Thanks, but I checked, and it's an illusion.
Well, the circuit is complete. I was going to have one more update before this, but my dad was writing a report and I decided to just finish it, so this is like two updates in one. I am currently working on the station.Oh, and I put my coat rack in the middle of the helix and made a tunnel with a jacket.
I see the bump at the bottom of the turning hill-thingy. I'll fix it.
Vids-http://s277.photobuc...nt=MOV00313.flv
http://s277.photobuc...nt=MOV00314.flv
Don't worry- I'll get new batteries for the station.
Comment, enjoy, and give me NAME IDEAS!

Looks nice! The helix's supports look odd, but if it doesn't shake, I guess you can leave it. No names from me, sorry but I am absolutely terrible with them. (And no I am not just being lazy! lol^_^) Good job!

^Thanks! The helix's track moves just a bit, but I still need to add more supports. The supports are just odd because I didn't really have room for radii supports.
