chaos Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) I am building a new, quirky Christmas coaster, called Steelworks Express. I hope to add a lot of theming, mostly inspired by Charles Dickens and Christmas. I have build the base of the station, the lifthill supports, and an outside banked turn as the train leaves the station. Edited March 29, 2018 by chaos
chaos Posted December 19, 2017 Author Posted December 19, 2017 The first part of the track is done now, with the section over the pool table to be finished soon.
Dombot Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Awesome! I really wish I had the patience to make a custom K'nex model.
Ace Of Spades Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Love the shaping on that lift-wrapping element, totally using that in Planet Coaster. Nice work!
chaos Posted December 21, 2017 Author Posted December 21, 2017 ^Thanks! I'd like to see that. Track is almost complete. But the theming still has a ways to go.
chaos Posted December 26, 2017 Author Posted December 26, 2017 The track is complete, as are my first round of test runs!
chaos Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 Short update today . . . my family has been helping me with part of the theming. The pool table portion of the ride is going to be a sort of candy wonderland.
chaos Posted January 2, 2018 Author Posted January 2, 2018 The lifthill and drop theming is almost complete!
chaos Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 Thanks to the blizzard, I was able to stay home for a few days and work on the theming and the station.
chaos Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Lots more bits and pieces are coming together for the theming.
chaos Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 The final section of the ride is getting themed.
chaos Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 The coaster is finally done! But before I make the official video, please watch this final update showing off all the features you might not notice otherwise.
chaos Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 Here are the pictures of the completed model. This is by far the most effort I've ever put into theming, and I really like the way it turned out. I hope to do something even more ambitious next time. Video should be up by tomorrow.
chaos Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 Here's the final video! This is the most ambitious (risky) coaster I've done, going beyond theming and into the realm of storytelling. So please let me know what you think!
BlahBlahson Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 This is the coolest thing ever. You have impressive design skills and thank you for sharing this project!
anonymouscactus Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Just watched the video... this is some amazing work! So cool and unique!
