[xxNOOBKILLERxxDC]

[zachsupercoolvideos]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THIS CANT BE HAPPING

[SethstonFlyer]

you know if you like shark run you should try the sreaming serpent , which is bigger

[slayerrat]

my room is modeling heaven, but you have way more models.

bill your awsome!

[katchey123]

your awesome! i wanna go there one day. your house could be lego world/ k'nex world!

[brysowg]

HA HA!!! My house is MODELING HEAVEN!!! HA HA!!! Bill

[desertmudman1234]

do you build models that aren't rebuildable like hobby shop kits 1/24 scale and what not

[brysowg]

I have a TON of those models to build - but space is always an issue so I generally stick with tear down models.  I have about 20 RC models of ships and boats to build. I also have around 30 of RC planes - gas and electric - to build... Some of these models are substantial. I have a full scale model of the Calypso and Seguine. I even have quite a number of Tamiya RC models of jeeps and cars and even a GAS POWERED Snow Mobile. Maybe someday I will put them on film... Bill

[desertmudman1234]

I understand the space problems I live in a doublewide mobile home and have one room to build and display stuff

[brysowg]

It does takes up a lot of space... Bill

[Adelfish]

wow, these are amazing! these are some of the best modeling videos I've ever seen. Good job!

[brysowg]

Thanks so very much for the nice comments!!! Bill

[mickiefans]

Can I See you House Bill

[brysowg]

HA HA!!!  You see more in this video than usual for sure!!! HA HA!!! Bill

[Sora199597]

hey bill, I have a question. Do you have an instructables account? if so, could you post instruction on the electric motor for this coaster? it isn't easy to immitate it from a video.................

[brysowg]

Sorry I don't... Bill

[Sora199597]

hey bill, I am actually haing trouble with the ripcurl turn. everytime it goes around into the ripcurl turn, it gets stuck by either the rod connected by the 90 degree angle piece, or by the double blue. Also, i don't know if this will make a difference, but I have 2 regular blue rods in the place of the light blue flex-rods. maby they are another problem.

P.S. maby you should replace the light blue flex-rods and see if that is a problem.....

[brysowg]

Well - it is hard to diagose the tuning of a Roller coaster in email... I wouuld just really look at the hangup spot. Figure out what is really making it get stuck!! On SHARK RUN there are no blue rods so I really don't know what you are talking about... Bill

[Sora199597]

ok if you take a close look at the drop and follow it, as it starts to curve, you will see a couple of smaller rods along the drop, about where the grey connector is. if you are still confused, look at page 41, step 60, where the cross tie is at the beginning and the end of each flex rod. hope this will work....

[Sora199597]

actually, I figured it out!!!! I will be sure to see if what you did helps me too!!!!!!!

Andrew

[brysowg]

Congradulations!!!! Bill

[Lilsniffs109]

Can you tape your camera to the coaster car so we can have an on-ride look?

[brysowg]

I've experimented with this - see - "Bills' Creations - Robo Clown Cam" - and I actually did it but decided not to put it on film as it wasn't not very good. This video showed my experiments in this. Maybe someday I will revisit this. I know for sure I will do this for my LEGO train layout if I ever set it up. So it is something that I am still investigating. Thanks for the question... Bill

[joshhinz]

hey bill your creations are awsome i built a knex drop zone cand you please build a knex drop zone

[brysowg]

Well I never heard of a K'nex model called DROP ZONE. But this evening I did make a new K'NEX DROP-N-SWING this evening. This is similar to the DROP ZONE kinda model. You can see my DROP-N-SWING in two videos - see - "Bills' Creations - K'nex Drop-N-Swing" and "Modeling Blog Daily - Drop-N-Swing DETAILS"... Bill

[Sora199597]

Is that a pokemon poster i saw? do u play?

[brysowg]

In fact that is a POKEMON EMERALD poster. I play ALL the POKEMON games for both GBA DS and GC. I am a total Pokemon fanatic. On Pokemon Green I got ALL OF THE POKEMON!!! HA HA!!! I'm rather weird for a 60 year old... But I do have more fun than a barrel of monkeys!!! Bill

[Sora199597]

Maby you should add me, since I have Pokemon Pearl, and I also have every single pokemon (including the ones for the events!), so if you want one let me know!

[brysowg]

Thanks for the info. I have every POKEMON GB - GBC - GBA - DS and GC game ever made and as well EVERY STRATEGY GUIDE... I love Pokemon.... The Pokemon Green is my FAV with the little transmitter receiver that came packaged with it!! Bill

[knexcoastergeek579]

nice nice nice. what set did you get the blue x track connecters from?

[brysowg]

I really can't remember. It was one of those tubs at WALMART with 400 parts and BONUS. Well the bonus part turned out to be lucky for me and had a ton of BLUE COASTER connectors and a ton of CHAINS... I just lucked out so I added the BLUE COASTER connectors to my SHARK RUN and it helped a lot!!! Bill

[codenameRAW]

i have this set it is well good

[brysowg]

Thanks! Shark Run is one of the BEST ROLLER COASTERS made by ANY company.... Bill

[jackjoe90]

awsome, i gonna tune it up righ now, thats awsome, thx for the video Bill

[brysowg]

Good for you. I went for a year before I figured out how to make it run PERFECTLY. BTW since this video was made - it has RUN ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY without EVER stopping again. It would now run 24 hours per day if I wanted it too... So good luck on the tune-up... Bill

[crazywhizz100]

[knexer04]
