im going to level it when im done because there is a track that goes on top and that will let me level it, and those cars are lego train trucks they have lips on the wheels and fit perfectly on the track. I'm not worried about that thos arn't the real cars thats just for spacing. This ride won't be a working model it will be static so im going to make custom cars out of plastruct! Also when im done there will be a covered station and themeing like grass, trees, etc...
EDIT:Tomarrow if i can get to it i can show you what i mean about the cars.
No its not I can get twelve two foot rods real cheap but no its not all balsa
EDIT:Static models are just as fun like you can add theming and all that and when you make working models you have to work a long time at finding the type of track you need to make.
never heard in steaming them??? thanx i will try that but no i was going to cut them into smaller pieces and soak them in water but i will try that
EDIT: i have no HW today so im planning on finishing that hil and getting it to where i want it to be and i can work on the lift this weekend!!!!!!!!![:D]
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!
ok i've got past a big step, part of the ride crosses over it-self 3 times! you will see what im talking about it is in the last pic [wink]
This is for the person who asked about the cars thats what it looks like ...
This is the tricky part im working on should be done tomarrow!!!
ok i got 6 more pics ready for you to see yes it will look sloppy but remember *it isn't done!!!* but otherwise it looks really cool and is becoming a conversation peace people keep asking me questions about it but enough talk here are the pics...
You really have to work on straightening out some of those beams, or else it'll go weeeeeeee, OUCH. Of course that happens when all your supports go down.
