Now that I am almost done re-doing my room (don't mind that I only have 1 curtain ) I have decided to start my next coaster. It will be a John Allen woodie, inspired by the Swamp Fox at Myrtle Beach. I know it's not very tall, but it should be great. Here are a few pictures.

Overview and my re-done room


The lift supports


Another view


Looking down the lift


My black painted train


Each car has 20 pennies


Comment! Be harsh!

Looks great so far, can't wait to see it finished.

You have a nice clear room, I like it. You should add a little something to the cars, they seems a bit tame.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Looks great! It's pretty small, but I'm trusting that you have a good layout for it.

[NitroDude319]

Everything looks great! I agree with CM you should put some type of design on the cars to spruce them up a bit. I can't wait until it's done!

Thanks man.

Thanks about the room. I may do something to the cars, what do you recommend?

It will have a nice layout, like I said, it will be similar to the Swamp Fox. Thanks a lot!

I woud put some stripes on those cars :0

[BBaller347]

Ever since Noxious, I've been watching for another coaster from you...

I kind of like the train - the black will look cool against the bright green track. If you add to them, don't add to much.

Wish I had a building space that big, and that gets some nice sunshine... Your space beats my dark basement 100/1.

If you could could you show us pictures of how many knex peices and boxes that you have

[RCExtreme]

^If you have seen Noxious, then you would know that he has enough pieces to make this.

I like the supports, but the cars do look a little plain. They will look a lot better if you paint stripes on the cars.

[dylan]

yeah i know ive seen it i was just wandering how many peices he has

[coastermaniac]

I think that some white stripes like CC10's red stripes would look awesome.

I may do that. Thanks!

The cars were supposed to be simple, and I don't want to do too much so that it doesn't look right for other coasters. And yes, my room does get a lot of natural sunlight. Thanks!

Here is all my pieces. This is back from when I made Squall, but I haven't gotten any more. Thanks!

Again, I may do that. Thanks!

That would look cool, I'll consider doing it. Thanks!

I'd say a single bright yellow stripe would looks best for those cars of yours.

[J&Eproductions]

You could make it look like MF and have a yellow triangle at the side of each car or you should add some yellow eyes.

[decaxxeca]

i say add a single blood red wide stripe on it

[Britfag]

I have a good one.
Anyone seen an old Dodge Viper?

that looks cool, but where the intake is, put a black arrow, that shows up either side of the red stripes.
so it's like one wide red stripe, with a black arrow down the middle..
get me?

[coasterfanatic11]

Yes! It has begun! About the cars, you could paint the little trapezoids on top of the cars orange or something. If you need a close up of my train (I did this on Ansion's train), I can give you one.

Dylan: belive me, pieces will not be an issue. Look at Noxious, Alpine, and Surge. (not to mention Squall)

-cf11 :cool:

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

Well, I got some yellow spray paint like KCB said (sorry, I checked before anyone else had posted). Then I put the tape on the cars, and sprayed them like the can said to. It's been about 1 hour, and the paint doesn't look too good. It's pooled in some areas and thin in others. You can see the black in the thin areas well. I'm going to give it another coat tomorrow night (it said to wait 24 hours), and see if that helps. Wish me luck!

two things, did you spray it from about 30 cm away?
and were they on an even surface?
