Oh yeah, it is a little thin.......but I'm sure you can easily fix that. :)
BTW I bet the 270 degree twist is going to be pretty hard to shape right-may the force be with you. :)

Edit-Oh wait, it aleady is.

I think it's fine and close enough. That small of a difference is no big deal.

update: thanks for the force blastcoaster69. it helped a lot.

this role turned out perfectly except for the bump I think that is from two cross ties overlapping each other. im gonna add flexies later Saturday.

Wow looks great. in the first picture it looks like it drops down too fast and its too sharp at the bottom of the pic. Th 2nd makes it look funny and lumpy. Looks great ;D
