dark horse was wrong about the english thing and had a hard time admitting it after going a few steps too far. isn't it okay now? why do you have to keep targeting him with hatefulness ...

yeahh sorry about that.

i'm not sure why, but he's like the only dude here that annoys me.


sorry for the 'hate'.
i dont hate the guy, i just got overly annoyed this time.

wont happen again man

Unfinished at the bottom and rubbish masking at the back But what do you think?

PS. It's a composite of four screens... it isn't all in miniature Oh, and it's all peep friendly.

Wow, the style i love <3
I absolutely love screens and building stuff like that, miniature railways and the like(yes its a hobby of mine).
Were you by any chance inspired by this?

It looks like you've done a good job on the mountain and the track, but the power line should be a mini suspended coaster, i personally think it looks better

Goliath123:

Thanks for the loveage The Swiss Railways/Alpine influence is definitely there, but it is somewhat an amalgam of styles... there's going be a BIG surprise for this particular themed area when it's all finished though!

I tried a miniature suspended coaster, but it didn't fit the curves very well Perhaps it would be worth giving it another shot

No problem, just make sure you use tram trains

Oh I have used trams It's also a circuit track. The two buildings in the picture are the stations.

If your going for 100% realism use shuttle mode, these type of things in RL have a train engine that goes at the start of the trams and is used to push not pull the trams along, i'll try and find a pic for ya

Thanks But I'm going more for park realism in this one ie. as many people through as quickly as possible. Shuttle mode would take a heck of a long time to make a trip. Plus there is no entrance at the upper station, so all the return trains would come back empty...

all friends of DH raise your hand!

*raises hand but puts it back down when no one else raises their hand*


ahank: I really like it, however I think you should stick to just one texture on the walls instead of having it switch in the middle.

ar2910: I really like this as well. It seems like the terraforming could use some work, but overall it's a nice screen.

OK heres some more tips for the area then:

The landscape needs a lot of work, take a look here for that:
http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Swiss_alps
This is also worth a look:
http://www.miniatur-...ut-switzerland/
and here too:
http://www.miniatur-.../about-austria/
This place is great as well:

This is what i use for the general track layout and so on:
http://en.wikipedia....Glacier_Express

There is others like that in Wikipedia and other miniature railways that are great for landscaping purposes such as "Noch Modhelbanh" and take a general look around the miniature wonderland website while your there, that should do it.


Wow i never new i could be so helpful

Thanks I appreciate the research How would you reccommend improving the landscape? I reiterate that this isn't supposed to be Switzerland, it just has a mountain railways inspired by those in Switzerland... And I'm only making this park realistic, not Matterhorn realistic But like I said, how can I improve to landscape?

Jagged rocks.

More 1/4 tile landscape blocks, much denser foliage, it has to be more steep, like at the moment it looks like the base of a small mountain, not big enough for a ski slope. Also the plant selection isn't very alpine like, no jungle bushes in Switzerland
Thats the basics covered, i'll post more later on

Jag, take note, that is how to do an Intamin SLC

Good one, and I will improve from my old intamin blast coaster concept.

This is my first post here, I hope you enyoy my work.
Those screens are my latest work, they arent finished jet.



from a few months ago:
(sorry for my bad English )

I am eagle eyed, I am guessing that layout is Race the Sun at Magic Realms Resort created by eyeamthu1. Good supporting though I think it is better than the B&M styled ones.

Um. Anyways.

i'm sure you can find a better way to pull off the vertical supports. also the path there kind of looks weird with no supports. kind of like it's sitting on the water.

Eurgh

Jaguar: Loving the fluidity of that back turn on your coaster! The trees look a little off colour though...

I think he quoted someone . 

Those screen look pretty cool. Nothing over the top, but I like them. Oh, and you speak English fairly well.

Thanks

Personally i think the main support beams are too thick, but everything else is good

I think this is the smallest "big beam" i`ve sellected but I wil look after it.

those screens are fantastic! truley a breath of fresh air robo

thank you, this give me a real boost to finsh it .

I love the spinning wild mouse.
You on a park with RamSam would be pretty cool, i guess.

Thanks.

Robo, i really love the third and fourth screens for some reason.
i'm not really sure why, but those stick out to me the most.
nice work:]

I think they are my best work I produced so far .

Well, actualy the first drop and helix are indeed from Race to the Sun. Thats because I saw that coaster and I want to make something like that. But the first drop failed again and again, thats why I copied it from the Race to the sun.

Just some little thing I was working on the other day


Clearly unfinished
