Hey everybody. I've been veiwing this forum for a while and felt i should share my coasters and see what you think.

Mechbox: this is my first coaster ever, and I know it is terrible. (sorry it is so dark)

Stargate: this is my second coaster. It is way better than mechbox in my opinion. this was my first coaster with inversions.

Anaconda: this is my latest coaster and i think i did very well. My first attempt at tube supports (which I love) . also my first attempt at a working station (which i think i did well on.)

Well actually i saw your coasters on youtube before you gave us those links and i was shocked with how you built. Good luck on coasters in the future.

forgot to mention that all my models so far have been made with only 1 ss and 1 rr plus other parts.

Pretty good! My only advice is to lube and weight your cars. You really lost speed fast, but hey, they were very good for your first few!

[patrickcondon]

My tube support model was lubed but not weighted. I thought it would make the supports too weak.

I have been working on a better tube support model that i will put up soon. It features a roll into a half loop and then a 0g roll before it makes a circle back into the station. any recommendations on how to improve my building, from what ive shown so far?
