I would make the cobra roll first so it would be really

huge and awesome. Making a cobra roll after a loop will be hard and won'tbe

very big, plus, it will kill the speed for teh rest of the ride.

Good work on your custom cars. I like the detail and

effort you put into it. Your model really impresses me and so far it looks like there

isn't one flaw in it. Keep up the good work.

The cobra roll you made has a straight section in it

and then a strong half loop into the half corkscrew. It needs to be completely round,

but otherwise it looks fine. Just remember to support the half corks.

That cobra was really crappy and thats why its not the

finished one.The new cobra roll is is already alot better and alot taller,the first part of

the half loop is taller then the cobra roll i posted.I cant support the half corks as much

as i would like because of lack of pieces and empty wallet.I need a job.

Ok,I just did some work on the cobra roll and its almost

4.5feet tall and is starting looking like a real life cobra roll.I also painted my cars gold

and they look cool.I'll paint black streaks down the sides after they dry.And if

someone comes across cheap connectors(all of them)and rods(grey,red,and

yellow)can you post a link and i cant get it off ebay.

I am truly loving those custom cars. Definitely one

of the nicest trains I have seen. That cobra roll is massive, and you're on the

right track. But I'd agree you just need to give it a little more room front to back,

allowing for better flow in and out of the corks. It looks vertical from the back, but its

up to you what design you like and what works ultimately. I just imagine a sense of

grace for the train, and huge flow into the inversions. Great work my friend.

That color is crap try a like silver with black streaks or

my betiful cars were i made them black and did a blue mist and then did a glossy clear

coaste but the cobra roll looks prety good.

Squirrel, his cars are good. Just because someone

didn't make the same thing as you doesn't mean it is bad. Your cars were

good too. So, why put down someone's work?

Why do you have to try

and boss everyone around about there model.Im surprised you didnt snap at me about

having a bigger cobra roll then you.Also why do you say you have the

"perfect" or "best" or "most beautiful" things and

you never post pics.all ive seen from you is one total piece of crap(exodia),a cobra roll

that looked like it was just floating in mid air,and a incomplete piece of crap that you

say is the best recreation ever(im talking about MF).Then you start on my cars about

being crappy but they look better then <a

href='http://www.bgtguide....ttach&type=post

&id=24136' target='_blank'>these cars that have paint coming off</a>.You need to

back off of everyone and stop being so cocky.

Right now the final layout

after the cobra is a dive loop,bunny hills,cutback,breaks.if theres not enough speed

then ill do;dive loop,barrel roll,breaks.

The cobra roll looks very good but the supports look a bit

lacking but still good. I would see if you could fit more inversions in but do what you

want. See if you can do something besides a cutback. Cutbacks are the easy way

out, IMO.

Shut up squirel, nobody likes you, and

your cars werent "Perfect" so stop pretending. You live in a dream world

boy, you suck.

The custom cars rule. They really do! Its a interesting

concept, and im looking forward to the completion, and can we expect a video?

:D
