Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic) [EUROFIGHTER UPDATE] P.3

Seeing as reddude has started a brilliant trend, I figured that I might as well make my own topic for upcoming projects.

All right, so right now I have a traditional corkscrew (with lots of foliage and scenery), a sci-fi themed wild-mouse, and a medival Maverick-esque launcher. The corkscrew is finished so I'll post that anyway, but would you rather see my wild-mouse first, or my launcher?

Medieval launcher sounds more interesting.
I'm bored of seeing industrial scenery.

Jamais deux sans trois ! I'm for the launcher too. Want to see its layout, and medival theming is (almost) always welcome :)

Still working on it, but here is a preview picture:

Don't get your hopes up, it isn't that great. The colour is not finalised, do you guys have any ideas?

The Mega-lite I used for my competition picture is green track with purple supports, kind of like Goliath. It took me ages to choose them colours, I find choosing the colours quite an important aspect, just have a play around with the colours and see what you like.

Edit, from what I can see from that picture, that theming looks really good.

I'm gping to post a more visible update of my Medievel Luancher soon(Monday or Tuesday), and I might be able to show you guys my crockscrew tomorrow. Sorry for the lack of updates, I just have basketball championships going on, and I'm kind of swamped, but after this weekend, I should be back on CF more often.

Nice job! :--D

Is it a giga?

I'd certainly give it brown supports, because of the medieval way of life was so reliant on it.

Sorry for lack of updates, trying to work out some CS bugs, I'm going to post some Crockscrew pictures Saturday afternoon.

I think you should reconsider the blue color for your launcher. It may work out be considering the other colors I see, you might look at a few more options. The scenery looks nice although a few different tree heights would really give it a more realistic feel. Looking forward to seeing more shots though.

But thanks for the tips.

I find the vivid red of the turret roofs very jarring. In less you were going for a Disney-esk romantic Medieval theme. I would have still toned it down. Something closer to Terracotta/Salom Pink might me nicer but still be colourful.

I actually really like the red, but if you are going for realism, it is probably not the best choice. For the purposes of a theme park though, I think it's a great look.

Looks great! I really like the use of scenery. My only critique as of now is that it looks like there is a kink in the track after the loops. May just be the angle but it looks like you unbanked the track when it wasn't necessary. Well-made otherwise. Simple, but unique layout and the rocks and water feature really make the difference.

Not bad at all :) My only critique would be the rocks on the right, don't feel entirely natural.
