Well, you havn't finished a coaster in a LONG time. And the one you did was complete crap. So finish a basic coaster first, PLEASE. And stop making threads untill you have pics, even if you put it in construction.

Tube supports are hard. I built a good 6 coasters before I even thought about doing tube supports. But I can't stop you.

Ive decided Im just going to do a SMALL tube supported looper. im doing a small one because they are hard and the bigger the coaster the harder it is to build.

Duh. Well, do you have any idea how to even build with tube supports?

I wouldn't recommend using tube supports, but if you do, don't make it a looper. Maybe do a simple 1 1/2-foot hyper with a straight drop, a turnaround, and a hill or two.

There should be a ban on tube supports unless you have built X amount of good coasters.

^no shit
If you havent even gotten the basics down with regular building there is no way you can with tube support style building. I built well over 12 coasters before I tried it. And I still struggle shaping elements and smoothing turns.
dont do it

Can someone move this to construction? I have some of the launch done. It is pretty sturdy far. What do you think?

You need to use a much simpler base. Don't use the red connectors, they make it weak and waste pieces. Try putting 180* connectors on two of the rods, then snap those directly on to your base.

why couldnt I just use what I have now? It is sturdy and I have a ton of red connecters. This Base is only going to be used for the launch then it will be much simler base.

Guess what? None of us want to see this piece of shit you throw together. So how about you don't post pics until you grow a brain and listen to us? No one's going to help you if you disregard our advice like that.
