Well seance I recently deiced that the recreation of boomerang was just to far above my skill level I started a new coaster this coaster is tube supported and as of right now all that I have done is a turn around helix. Mostly so that I could get used to tube supports.

You have a broken connection in the first pic, other than that it looks fantastic.

It looks really good, but where is this going to be on the coaster? Is this your first time using tubes because you're really good with them.

Under the piano bench!

It looks great just the way you have it. I agree, if it shakes, add another support.

Interesting way to support the lift. Is it stable? The crest's support needs to be beefed up and the drop's supports need laterals. Shaping looks good - but the pullout looks a little big.

I'm positive those aren't the final supports.

So, I'm still confused. Is that original part after the lift or before? :confused:

The lift's supports are kinda flimsy. Maybe make a few more inbetween the ones you already have. It would make it stronger and it would look cool as well.
