Here's a first look at what I'm working on now. I've got the layout thoroughly planned out and almost all of it built. Smoothing and track tweaking will take place for quite a while until I'm satisfied, and I've never made any Gerstlauer track that I've been impressed with technically, so I'm really going to press myself to work hard on this. There will be more info and pictures once I get my layout satisfactorily, er, laid out.

Why don't you have the immelman unroll the other way if it's going to turn like it appears to do in the picture. You could have less rotation if you went the other way.

Is this patterned after the newer ones with the wider drops and longer cars or the older design?

What's the reason for less rotation? Maybe he wants more than 180*? Not like it hasn't been done before, or there's any reason it can't or shouldn't be.

I'm approaching it from a G killing perspective.

Well the rotation comes from here,

, and I thought it'd be tight to replicate it.

Ah there is the inspiration.

Finish this fast because I wanted to make a Eurofighter when classes are over for the semester lol

I seriously doubt it will be done fast. Granted I'm able to produce the trackwork efficiently even sometime in the near future, the supports will come thrice as slowly at least lol.

I don't understand what my finishing of this has to do with the process of making yours though

This looks quite good from the pictures!
The shaping looks pretty spot on if you ask me...

And, yeah, Giraffe as a name for a Eurofighter is so obvious, lol.
