    Nemesis is impossible to accurately recreate, but thats a close as anyone will get
  • Phatage%s's Photo
    you need to elongate that transition after the wingover a lot more, one thing I recommend is not having a change in elevation after the wingover and then just having a couple sections of banked track before the helix.

    ehh, might as well.

    Wow. that's amazing.

    It looks really good. The supports just need to be redone.

    @vekoma9: Infact they don't, there are a few missing but if you look at pictures of the ride that IS where and what they are like. Im trying to keep accuracy as best as i can and that includes support types and placement.

    @Phatage: I think you may be right. I wasn't too sure on that drop after the wing over myself and I am going to just turn it into a straight away into the bank like you said.

    Thanks for all the comments everybody Im hoping to get this thing finished within the near future and work is progressing quite nicely. If anyone has any links to pictures of the rides area with things like que lines etc etc it would be greatly appreciated.

    loopy, not bad at all.
    yet it's way too un-parkish for me. and the colouring of the track seems not right? why the brown?
    it's been ages since i last rode nemesis though, so you might know better than me.
  • Loopy%s's Photo
    I put the brown on the rails to try and simulate that dirty, rusted effect the track has. Thinking about it the tan colour or duller brown might be a better idea. I was going to use a grey colour but I dont think that fits the paint scheme of the ride in real life, white seemed like the best option for it.

    Thanks for the comment Posix.

    By the way I love that custom ride tracid.

    I would agree to this, until I saw this: http://rcdb.com/ig776.htm?picture=4 and this: http://rcdb.com/ig776.htm?picture=5

    It is good, I'm just saying that the supports seem not to touch and seem odd like they are. i dunno. It is just me.
  • Loopy%s's Photo
    The supports do touch now, I hadnt used any zero clearancing up to that point which is why they are floating above the track.

    Going off those pictures they seem to be fairly right, I didnt have the opposite side of the wing over supported in the teaser so that might be why you think they look a little odd at the moment but I will have another check over them later.

    Progress is going quite well although I am struggling a little at making the que as accurate as possible as a few layout modifications may be needed to get it right. The station is proving to be increasingly difficult but im trying to make it intertesting to look at.

    Hepta, I don't see anything.

    It's a screamin' swing. See the trains swinging?

    It looks ok, but it could really use a lot of work. Kudos for making it operational though.

    Ah, there! Now I see them.

    Looks really good. But I don't like the queue so much.

    Damn, you guys will have nothing left for a fiesta at this rate, lol. Guess I won't hold one anytime soon :p

    Some great screens, keep em coming.
  • Hepta%s's Photo
    Yeah, it's a screamin' swing. And they're not really that hard to make, lol.

    Oh, and what's wrong with the queue?


    P.S. Great bench geewhzz.

  • Fr3ak%s's Photo
    Nothing is wrong. I generally don't like those custom queues so much. I prefer the 'orignal' ones.
    But your screen looks really good and it's only my opinion.


    And JDP, it's great, but so small :(

    That's kinda the point of this topic, posting pics of something you don't want to advertise but you don't want to wait for a Fiesta.

    Hepta: That's awesome. I love the little details you put around the queue. The medieval look was pulled off very well.

    JDP: Small, but elegant. I love it, and I want to see more.

    EDIT: little something in my sig.

  • Hepta%s's Photo
    Oh, that's fine. I respect your opinion, I was wondering if I did something wrong, since I've never done a custom queue like that before. Thanks though.

    Thanks Zodiac. Your screen looks nice. I wanna see more.
  • Lloyd%s's Photo
    @Hepta:

    Looks nice, but i would suggest using something apart from the victorian fence for the queue. Maybe something more generic like normal railings would look better? I think that the fence you have now looks spikey and uncomfortable to sit/lean on (Which most people do whilst waiting in line).
  • Hepta%s's Photo
    ^That makes sense. I tried that, but I didn't really like it. But you've got a good point. I'll have to change that.
