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?
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

Medieval launcher sounds more interesting.
I'm bored of seeing industrial scenery.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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

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?
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

Sorry for lack of updates, trying to work out some CS bugs, I'm going to post some Crockscrew pictures Saturday afternoon.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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.

Oh. I'm not done, and as mention in my post a couple above:

But thanks for the tips.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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.
 
Re: Copycat topic (Josh's dev topic)

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.
