The crest seems to still be a tiny bit messed up the way I said before. It's a little too round if anything.

[kne` builder]

It should be more shaped like the top of the giga steel is building.
I cant post a pic, because I am posting this from my dad´s IPhone, but I think you know what I mean.

On the contrary, I think it's great. Only problem is that the track lifts up right where it would go from the straight part of the lift to the crest. Keep up the good work Fragz!

he pullout ether starts too early or is way to tight. Start the pullout 1 gay lower and make it a lot bigger.

I dont understand. You say to start it lower but make the pullout a lot bigger? Is that possible? Wouldnt I have to start it sooner to make it bigger? Maybe I should finish the entire drop then give you guys a pic. I will try to work on it tomorrow but today I have to go to work. Thanks for all the comments though!!! I'm loving all of them!!!

Wrong on so many levels... :lolo

[Rollerboaster]

I agree with TBM on the pullout height...I've never been a fan of highly elevated pullouts like that.

[pkiknex25]

Yeah, just keep the drop curving down a little bit longer then pretty much keep the pullout you have. It looks great though! Keep it up.

That's our new unit of measurement.
"My loop is three gays tall, should I make it one more?"
"Nah. Three gays is good"

I really like this fraggie. Are you goind to aim for an MF type layout or maybe an I305-styled one??

Looks good Fraggie! Hope this one doesn't get cancelled!

-cf11 :cool:

[Fraggie]

How would this look for a final drop? Just the general size is all I'm looking for. What do you think?

[Knexrule11]

From the pictures you've given us I think you should start the pull out a little bit later. Other then that it looks good!

[Fraggie]

Ok, did I get it this time?

[maarten12]

Well, as far as I know, the drop looks perfect! But I think you should wait for some more opinions

[Knexrule11]

Yes, that looks much better. Now you need to get some supports on the bottom of that drop!

[ForgotToGrowUp]

Awesome!

Q: Do you use grey rods while you are still shaping? Do you use flexis at all. I am surprised you can get that as smooth as it is with just grey rods in the bottom of the crossties.

[the_burrito_master]

^gray rods are even easier to get smooth if they're on a continuous curve and not too tight.

fraggy the drop looks pwn but the pullout starts too late put it back to where almost was in the last update

[Fraggie]

Awesome!

I use the grey rods for a couple reasons. One, like TBM said, they are a little easier to smooth and eliminate bumps. And the second reason is they make the track stiffer. This way when the train moves over it, there is less bending and speed loss.

^gray rods are even easier to get smooth if they're on a continuous curve and not too tight.

haha, really?

So now I need to just add supports everyone?

[ForgotToGrowUp]

thanks, I always thought you went back and replaced flexis with greys.

[BGEurope Kid]

^ I think it depends on what kind of element your building wether its a tighter element or a smooth drawn out one.
As the coaster goes, I think it looks awesome, just add supports.
