What's the best way to get the strings tied the correct way around the sweeps and to connect them to the middle of the ride, for it to run the best? I have seen someone's IHC Octopus on a train model display layout a long time ago, and that thing looked like a Cummons Octopus almost, it ran so smoothly! First of all, How in the world do you get that string to do right? Do you glue the string at the center of the Octopus, or does it wrap around the center? I'm clueless, and want to know so it'll run smoothly for me. What's the secret in getting it to perform right? This one involves string and that Faller Free Fall Tower i had once involved string...i never finished the Free Fall Tower/Power Tower though , it was too hard for me, so i sold it half-way done. The Octopus is a breeze to do compared to that thing. lol
Then again, i might make this a static displayed Octopus, but getting it running would be cool, and neat to see it run! [8D]
