Troy [NL] Update 12/27 [70* turn and Horseshoe done]

[hyyyper]

What to do on the free fridays when Troy was finally done....? Build Troy myself!

 

Track is done and i'm quite satified with the result.

Supporting will be custom. I only put on the catwalks and handrails by the autosupporter. (double) ledgers, bent and lateral/diagonal bracing will be done by myself.

 

Anyways, progress for now....the camelback is like halfway done, so is the start of the lifthill.

 

 

 

 

comments and suggestions are allways welcome

I am just wondering, but are you sure you have perfected the track first, because it takes along time to hand support a woodie, and you'll have to start over if you got the track wrong. Other than that, the Supporst look too dense, you should only use the thivker beams for verticals and use the smaller wooden beams for the rest. Apart from the Ledgers, Which hould be in the large Beam.

I honestly can't figure out how people can custom support a woodie, it seems like it involves much, much more patience than I'd ever have. I can't tell too much, but its looking very nice!

Well It's not really as difficult as you might think, you start with the catwalks and handrails, then place the ledgers, then Footers and Fill in between, i am currently handsupporting a woodie that is bigger than Troy.

We know it isn't hard. It is just too damn time consuming!

[hyyyper]

bit by bit i'm making progress....

 

 

somebody remember this picture?

I dunno. It looks a little bit tight.

[CCJared]

I think the G's Tell the same story.

[Real]

Yea, G's for GCI's are almost always UNDER 4 at any point. the transitions are uber fast but the actual G's are modest at best. I would doubt that even TGG's reach 4 but Id definatly say they would over GCI.

 

That and I would assume that part would have more of a constant radius - also more true to GCI style.

[CCJared]

Real, Hows about you make the track and I support it? It would be beng on if you made it. We might get a CS.com Medal

[FeelTheFORCE]

Looks great so far! Can't wait for a download!

[ArrowHater]

Oooh!! looks good...haha

[hyyyper]

[Théo the little french]

Wow! Do you do yourself all the supports? If yes, it's really well done!

[kraken613]

This looks really nice!

[CCJared]

I must say, yours looks way too high.

[hyyyper]

It may looks high, but that's because i estimated the distance of each support layer wrong. In fact mine is only 3 feet too high compared to the 'real' Troy

[Guest]

Are the ledgers just doubled up large beams? If so, i really need to try that, it looks really cool.

 

The turn itself does look too pointy to me. The real thing looks a bit flatter/more drawn out, where your's has more of a peak to it.

[hyyyper]

Ledgers are indeed double large beams

[Golfie]

You're doing a great job, even if it isn't bolt for bolt! I wish I had the patience to make wooden supports... I have a hard enough time sitting for 3 hours to fully support an arrow looper.

[Eric_Smith]

Any updates? I really got into this coaster and now it is gone.

[hyyyper]

The station is finished, stupid station, supports are easy (they take time though) but the station was a bitch

 

(colors are subject to change)

 

 

 

[CCJared]

Nice station, i like that you seem to be going into real detail with it all. You've even got all the individual bars on the handrails. Nice Job, Keep up the good work!

[AlmereStars]

I (L) Troy... says enough I think

 

but can you build faster?? wanna ride this

[hyyyper]

small lifthill update
