Dar's Random Fumblings

[Dar]

*SNEAK PEEK*

Had this on the "go" for ages, I'm not normally patient enough to make coasters! I can't be bothered to get and learn Newton, so hand whittling takes a while. Had an idea for the first turn and had a go. After much cajoling and encouragement from Bear, I got my posterior in gear and cracked on!

Doubley-down

I should probably finish this...

Generic Ride Manufacturer: Woodie 1

It's finished! This is my second full coaster, the supports are auto-generated - deal with it

Here's some editor/sim pics:

Bump to end all bumps!

Got NL2 and started farting about with it. Tried a Suspended swinging coaster but that was a bit ambitious for a first go, so I went for MACK launcher instead!

Looks like Generic Ride Manufacturer has fired up their CAD software again

We'll have to wait and see what they're planning!

 

[Dar]

It's mostly finished! I just can't decide if it should stay as a Gerst Infinity 2 style or the mack launcher style!

The bulk of the actual ride is done, I just can't figure out how to get it back to the station! Plus it needs a fair amount of smoothing and de-sucking in certain places

 

[Dar]

Supporting is much easier than I thought it would be, I guess all the nodes and connections make it look really complicated and intricate.

GRMR #6 is definitely progressing!

 

[Dar]

Was supporting GRMR#6 when I remembered that I never finished GRMR#5! I totally lost inspiration once I finished my dissertation, but I've come back to it and made a couple of changes to some elements and did a bit of general smoothing. It's still not perfect and I'm sure there's lots that can be done to it, but at this point I just want it finished!

Anyhoo, here's some pictures:
