the heartlineing looks awesome but it just dosen't belong on a woody I say take it out.

[G Force]

I say you should take it out, it looks cool but like TBM said it dosent belong on a woodie.

[Maxlaam]

It will stay. It looks nice, and I guess I'll take master Gump's advice above others xD

I'm having a hard time being creative with connecting the track to the supports, I got the right shape, but finding a way to connect is usually wrecks it.

I worked over 8 hours today (On and off) on maybe 3 foot of track. I'll have pics up in a couple of minutes, and there is a fairly big chance I'm gonna redo it tomorrow, IF I have time...

I lubed the cars an hour ago, and it makes it with a great speed over the "buckle", but it's always guessing if a train with a camera on top of it will make it, remember I'm building this to show how awesome onrides can be, and hopefully get people motived to buy an onride cam. Or be creative to find an alternative.

I think I got the bumps fixed in the turning drop, just some bending with my hands, I'll check it in a few minutes, take a few pictures, and show the disgusting banking on the "buckle".





EDIT: UPDATE


I fixed the bumps, right? (Also this makes it look over-hearthlined, and it is actually minimal...)


I think I fixed the banking in an acceptable way.


This makes it look a little ugly...


Reverse POV.


No comment.


The top of this "Buckle"/Hill won't stay like this, just temporary rushed to check if the speed was alright, I also lowered it a blue rod for some extra speed.
I'll continue smoothing out the turns tomorrow. It's 1 AM here so I guess I'm going to bed...

I'm not sure, but the transition in-between the two different bankings.

[Britfag]

Looks good,
but re-do the transition

[Maxlaam]

I'll have an update in a few minutes, at this time, I redid the transition over 5 times, and now is the time to say *peep* and move on with the lay-out. It still looks weird for some reason...

I might fix a few bumps but I'm not gonna redo the entire thing.

UPDATE:


Makes it look really weird.


Makes it look cool.

Twisty goodness!

Looking back at these pictures I think I didn't do all that bad.

Comment, Criticize, Have fun!

[Britfag]

Looks a lot better,
congrats, what's next in the Layout?

[Maxlaam]

Probably a turning drop with an airtime hill. I want to keep the front of the coaster relatively low since I am not allowed to block the TV screen, or my Brothers will get very angry
And of course for the final video, which I'm really looking forward to. I don't want to block the view.

[the_burrito_master]

looks good sounds good!

[LCAL]

Looks incredible! I like your style.

[Maxlaam]

^^Thanks!

^Since when is my style great? xD Thanks!

Update in a few minutes!

[Top_Thrill_Dragster33]

This looks great so far!

And would you guys stop bitching about the heartlining! Look, most newer woodies have them, so get over it!

[Maxlaam]

^Hey thanks!

Update:
I made a turning drop and the first half of an airhill.



Makes it look like there is a straight part, strange because the turning is the same all the way down. I'll look into it.


This makes it look so cool

Comment, Critize, Amaze!

[coastermaniac]

Maybe more like this ?

[Maxlaam]

Not really actually, thanks but that would ruin the flow. See, look at the other pictures showing it from the side, It would be very tight if I did it like that, and It goes over it with quite some speed so making it like that would pull immense G's

Oh yeah, about the straight part, I'll fix it tomorrow, It looks really weird at some angles, I think I need to raise a support a little.

[Britfag]

So can we get a picture of the rest of the layout?

[Maxlaam]

Thats what I had in mind, it can't be much bigger for a couple of reasons, space being the main issue.



Green -Station
Purple -Lift
Blue -Raised turn
Yellow -Hills/airhill
Red -Brakes

[Britfag]

Looks good,

When will you have time to build?

[metallicais1337]

idk y, but the first drop and hill look freakishly exactly like crystal beach cyclone:

[LukeIsLuke]

Not really, PlanetSaturn65 did a more cyclone-like coaster though.
