Welcome to TowersStreet's own topic for me to show-off whatever I've been working on.
Some of you might be wondering why this topic is called Nightfall's Stuff when that is no longer my forum username. It's simple really, I'm still uploading my rides under the Nightfall name even though I'm happy to be known here by my real name.
Let's begin by showing off the sets I have made which are already available.
Available Now:
The Hollow Tree
One of my first unique sets. This was designed for Diogo's Blithering Lodge (Luke's Eurofighter) but was later adapted for other ride types.
The Set Includes:
+ The tree's base
+ A base section without the roots
+ A 4m high trunk section
+ A 1m high trunk section
+ The Critter Hole
+ A broken top section
+ and the head chopper branches
This set was updated to improve the tree's appearance and use 1/4 tile placement.

Nightfire: Diving Coaster
Despite being one of my earliest CTR’s the Nightfire was only recently released. Originally intended for a March Garden’s megaproject this is the only part that has yet seen the light of day. The ride is a combination between B&M’s Diving Machine and Mack’s Blue Fire.

This ride is special for many reasons. The zero cart means it’s the only Diving Coaster that looks realistic if it is launched. The seating is staggered in 3 different directions; this means the ride has an optimum of 13 seats. The restrains are completely unique and include Blue Fire style heart monitors.

The Nightflight B&M Wingrider
You've probably heard about this set. If not why now! Nightflight was the first recreation of a B&M Wingriider in RCT3 and my most popular set.

Look out for The Swarm Skin for the B&M Wingrider. Coming soon...
Nightfall’s Words
A full alphabet of words designed to conform to a selection of signposts from some of my earlier sets. This set is far from perfect but functional.

Old Sets:
The LDT: Lay-Down Tilt
This was my earliest piece of custom content. A very glitch lay-down coaster with a title section.

Th13teen's Entrance
This was the first true set I made, based on Th13teen's entrance. There is a released version of this but I've since been trying to improve it before a proper release. The Van has been updated and the entrance sign is likely to become part of the next Word's set.
TT@10
A sign I made for TTF's 10th Birthday. Still available from the link on TTF (follow the link at the bottom of this post) although it's pretty dam useless now
Note: Most of the Old Stuff is still available for download here
Current Projects:
S&S Free Fly
This was a very basic prototype for my own version of the S&S's Free Fly. I didn't get too far into modelling it because Revolutionary Rides released their own not long after I started this. However my design was going to be different.
Firstly unlike RRs solid model each cart was made up of 3 separate parts. This meant the seats were at a different angle to the train’s body and so pitched like the real ride does. You’ll notice how all 3 parts are at different angles in the image above.
The second difference was more important. I had been trying to design it as close to real life as possible and wanted the cart to have that realistic swing as it turned around the corners. Here’s a diagram of what I mean:
The left arrow represents the car turning to the right. As the car leans to the right the inside arm is forced down and the outside arm rises. Watch this video for a visual explanation
Unfortunately I never could get it to work perfectly in game as the image below shows. For this reason it's unlikely to make a comeback but I like showing it off when I get the chance.
The Ultimate
This nifty CTR is very nearly finished. Created for Rupert’s (formally known as captain) ultimate Ultimate recreation.
What else can I say...
Egyptian Stuff
Used for Fissure Lake’s Obelisk this is a collection of Egyptian related objects.
The Set Currently Includes:
+ A base, head, 4m high and 1m high coulomb pieces
+ Two completely black void pieces (edge and corner)
+ A set of Egyptian slabs.
And there is still quite a bit more planned...
This set also includes an animated snake which due to popular demand shall be released separately soon.

Panels
This project has been under development for a very long time but the end is not even in sight. However if you just watch this investment opportunity video you’ll see why this set is worth waiting for:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeTCQt-NSs4[/youtube]
The Set Currently Includes:
+ Floor, Roof and Wall Panel's (no base)
+ Floor, Roof and Wall Mexican Wave Panel's
+ Floor, Roof and Wall Two Punch Panel's
+ 1 Floor Panel which rises by a height of 2
+ 1 Floor Panel which leans at a 45 degree angle
+ 1 set of steps (still needs work)
+ 1 1/4 size Crusher
+ 1 full size Crusher from the roof
And that I believe is everything
Consider yourself up-to-date.
