Grand Duc - GCI [Released]

Finally an update!!

More supports:








But also some re-shaping in the first drop (especially the bottom) and the turn that follows:
v less tight


Some changes in the end of the ride:



Overview:




I would say, supports are half done now. I only have low-to-the-ground parts to support so it's going to be easier and faster.

Also you could see how long this update took to come, but this is due to school that has come back!! So updates will be less frequent from now, I guess... [;)]

I've never tried fully custom supporting a woodie. How long does it take? I realize that there are a lot of supports, but they can be fairly "mass produced" if you know what I mean.

This is looking spectacular. As of now, my only slight gripe is I wish you would just change the color you're using to be a slightly darker brown. Looking at pictures of some new gci's it looks like you color is just slightly off. But other than that, this is looking very nice [approve].

Well the colour of the wood is definitely personal.. Most GCIs don't have the same colour of wood, even the newer ones: see Mountain Flyer (wood coaster) and El Toro; they don't have the same colour, El Toro is more orange than Mountain Flyer.
I've just darkened it a bit...

@Disaster249 I've started supporting on Sept 5th or 6th I think. So it's been 3 weeks and I'm only at half supporting it. That's long.

I think I want to start fully custom supporting my woodies. But yeah thats a while.

LeFLO it's looking great! Keep up the good work I can't wait to ride this.

Just looking so sexy! Thought it isn't worth to support it as 3ds but this is just looking awesome. Keep up the good work!

No... more....

...

SUPPORTS!!! [:D]













Be happy with me guys!! I'm so sick of that and happy to be finished with them [:O] [:)]

THAT LOOKS SICK! btw I miss some footers in there...or were those planks just rammed into the ground?

Well actually the huge concrete base is not already made ... [;)] I just put the round footer in there but the rest of the footers aren't done yet.
Thanks by the way! [:)]

Looks great so far Leflo! Are you sticking the queue in the middle?

Ahah nope the queue's not there yet either But I already have an idea for the queue layout

Raw talent.

You have it.

And I jizzed in my pants...

Beautiful.Simply stunning.

Like I've said before, amazing. I can easily see this coming into my top 10 favorite NL coasters.

When CK runs out of ideas for trolling your creation, you know that your creation is damn good.

^ I was thinking the same thing, but this is seriously looking amazing

Update as I made the concrete base and added some details on the track and structure: wires and joiners on the handrails, chainhouse, catwalks on the track to go from one side to another of the way, anti-rollback system, etc.. [:)]
'Joy

Beautiful.

I like the textures you added. They really make the ride pop out.
Also those two trains are suspiciously close to each other....

This is likely to go down as the most realistic wooden coaster on the site, if the trackwork rides as good as it looks. Can't wait to see this released!

This makes me not want to finish mine.

Or it's because I troll stupid people and LeFlo hasn't been stupid.

Steep drop for GCI! Hope this ride has airtime galore.

If he hasn't already, he was going to adjust the steepness of it.
