PROGRESS!

Over halfway done. Not sure what I'll do about the theming...
 
I like the knot of supports, looks really cool, not so sure about the track colour though. It's a bit too brown-y and dull for my liking. Especially against those brighter supports.
 
Those lift supports dont really look right, you should take a look at a real life one (I usually use Speed as a reference) the beams on yours look too thin, and the structure itself looks a little to long.
 
I see, yeah it's the beams I cant get over, they just look really thin and useless.
 
All done with supporting, and an overview of the layout:

Thinking of something for a station...
 
I don't like the last inversion, it's abit too tight and doesn't have that "eurofighter hangtime" that it should. Just by looking at it, it looks too newtoned.

The layout however is great, would make a fab small addition to a park with such a small footprint.
 
The roll I was aiming for a 0G element rather than hangtime (not a fan of hangtime) but as it turns out, it's definitely a hangtime element... :?

I had another idea for that roll that I tried, just to give it that unique eurofighter barrel roll, but it turns out that it didn't fit in- a lot of that in there is really tight. I'll agree with you, it's doesn't have that conventional eurofighter look to it.
 
I think it looks awesome, love the layout and the supporting. If you can combine good theming, this is going to be seriously good.
 
Right, final touches being added, should be out in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, I've begun work on another project:

Cesium

Cesium is a radioactive material. Don't ask me anything else about it, that's all I know :lol:
 
I think technically it's Caesium.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium

Also, from a combination of the first paragraph on wikipedia and knowledge from Chemistry, it's an Alkali Metal which in it's normal most stable isotope isn't radioactive. Although some radioactive isotopes are produced in reactors. It's usually liquid around room temperature too. However it's most interesting property is that it is EXTREMELY volatile, and does this in water (it's of the same group as Potassium, Sodium, all that lot):

Previous project scrapped. As soon as I figure out how to upload images from an iPad, I'll post pics. Cable got taken out from the neighborhood, and the cable company won't be able to fix it till the weekend is over....
 
My word. Words can't describe the amount of stupidity bestowed upon this page. I'll thank you to change your post to something halfway serious.
