Do these look right?

Do my supports look right?
If so, how should I change them?
They are not finished but I would like to know what I might be doing wrong.

Pics:

not completly...although they would support the structure

check out these pics as an examplehttp://rcdb.com/ig594.htm?picture=4 and thishttp://rcdb.com/ig541.htm?picture=12

see if these pics help out...but good job tho.

Those supports would never work.

move your scafolds closer together and use h-beams and crosses,,,look at how i did the supports on this coaster,

1.) notice the cross beams going from node to node making an "x"

2.) notice the proper spacing between each scaffold.


btw this isnt my coaster, its belongs to a friend of mine, however i did do the hill supports.

Just make them look like these. Those above are wrong btw, way too big.

they would still probably work imo, and its my first time making those, ease up a bit, i was only trying to give him somewhat of an idea.

you know i dont know to nuch, but if i were you, i think that i would move them closer. it would look really cool. i think they still look pretty good though. just a little tuning.
lol.

The major problem with the support picture you posted, ianko, is that you have no diagonal bracing. That should be your first major concern. Additionally, the bottom of the supports expand without something like a wooden coaster structure. Depending on height you could use either the MF style ones or the Superman style ones.
