Thats sounds cool....Good Luck

[ski_Lift_modeler]

ok, boeinglover and i will also put ismrider

so the total cabin count is currently 12.. please if you want one post asap..
the max cabins will be 20

[highspeedquad]

So after the modifications it will be about 27 towers long or about 130 human feet long. That's quite a bit!!!

[Boeinglover]

YAY! I mean Yipee! Thank you Ski_lift_modeler! Please post lots and lots of pictures!

[ski_Lift_modeler]

no no no no hsq what i meant is the entire thing will be aprox 80 feet long total.. about.. and then only 7 towers because funitels are supposed to span greater distances int here towers than gondolas..

so basically i was increased in length and the whole support system was redesigned.. i will go take pics right now and i will spray paint the ground where a tower will go.


pics should be up in a an hour.

Number of downloads: 55nt]OK heres the basic pics of the line..

the lense of me cam was a bit foggy so the pics are al ittle blurry.. orry i was out in my basket ball pants so i was in a hurry.. once a better day comes i will really get better detailed shots.

ok so the first pic is of the lower 1/2 of the lift line..

second is of the upper 1/2..

(on the second i had to move away to get it all in so the lift is longer thna it appears..)

and the 3d is just a little idea of the line from the base looking up with a tiny sketch in paint on it..


now with the cabins.. i made the first and i ma just tweaking it to the final state.. i hope to have pics up tonight.


thanks


Mike

[highspeedquad]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Now I really have something to look forward to.

[ski_Lift_modeler]

remember any question or request for pics will be taken and delt with asap.

[crazyskier91]

It looks really good, a three questions. What is the terminal design? How high will the towers be. and Can I have my name on a cabin? :D

[ski_Lift_modeler]

[Boeinglover]

When will this project be done? I would love to see this marvelous thing and all of the dedicated cabins (especially mine :---: ). Please post photos as soon as possible.
