Custom Supports - DogRunHome - Oct 29, 2013
I am making a RCT3 coaster for buildit, and it will win :P, but I can't seem to make the right custom supports. I have watched Silvarret's tutorials, but I still can't seem to get my custom supports to look right. I know it is really easy, and yes, I am able to easily use them, but the supports I usually make look weird with the CTR I am using. (I am using GRIFFON. Yes, you know that know :P) Anyways, does anyone know any specialized supports that would look great with that CTR? Thanks.

If you want pre-made supports you can use Jcat's Steelworx. For hardcore custom supports you can use Moby's steel Jungle V1 & V2. Going in deeper you can add Cpcisco's Steel Chaos. It is an expansion on Moby's V1 that has about 1,800 pieces. As a beginner I wouldn't bother with Chaos yet.
Then there are a bunch of square supports as well.
Don't forget your footers. Round or square. Lots of people have made CS in all kinds of styles.
There is also CoasterJoe's B&M Connectors if you want really nice track to support connections.

Thanks, but that's not what I meant. :P I need ideas how to support a Griffon CTR, because my other steel jungle creations look kinda weird with them. And good luck with your BuildIt!

So-o-o-o-o ..... you want supports that look right or you're wanting support ideas?

Well, its a little bit funny, because your Char-Title is called "RCT3 Master"!
A Master have any Problems and Ideas? Thats interesting.
And now you want idea's for supporting a Track, exspecially an "Griffon CTR"?
When you have Problems to add real looking supports on your tracks, look at some photos of Real-Coasters in your case Dive-Coasters and i would go to "www.rcdb.com" or the "B&M Homepage".
You know, Griffon is an B&M Coaster
.Frankedj gave you all infos about Supporting. And there are really good tutorials out there that helps. So building custom supports is your turn and after building alot of custom supported Tracks you getting better and better. It's all about training and experience!
Anyway, i dont think tips from us can help you so much, because everyone of us has his own techique to build Custom-Supports and you find your own way.
A German adage says: There's no Master fallen from the Sky yet!
