I've decided to postpone my woodie since everyone seems to be building one right now. Until then I will be building something that has never been done with tubes before. Here are the pictures.

I'm going to fix the chain guide tonight because right now it doesn't match up with the crest.

Don't forget to comment!

Aww, you didn't use my cars. Oh well, those ones look sweet. The tubes look very realistic too, I like your style.

^^Thanks
^Actually, I might still use your cars, I just have to find the right kind of glue.
Hopefully I'll have another update sometime this weekend.

Let's see, I would (maybe) have enough gray rods to make that lift. I hope you have a TON left...

This looks epic. Although I'd rather see you match the crest up with how the chain guide currently is, rather than the other way around...

EDIT: Where are steel's cars posted? I want to see them.

The thing you guys don't realize about gray rods is that there are more of those in every screamin serpent than any other rod. So it's really the most abundant piece. If I need to cut a rod, I always use a gray.

Looking great. Very realistic, like everyone else said. I like the chain guide.

Thank you for the comments!

I've pretty much been working on this all day. As always the bumpiness will be fixed. Here's the pictures. Sorry about the blurriness.

Yeah, the footers I have right are causing them to bend. I'm replacing them right now.

Looks very good, MP. Although there are many supports, they still look like they would bend. Have you decided what cars you will use?

I think you should move a couple of the supports to the other side. You would need to place them farther from the track, but it would help prevent bending...

Um no^. I think it looks great. Does it shake when you run the cars over it?

Looks pretty good. Does it make it? I'm pretty sure you'll need to add lateral supports to keep it from shaking; the tubes will still bend even with those footers.
