When the set is avaiable I will buy a few sets and try everything :)
(Hope there is a tank in the set, because I dont have one yet)
The fun with Lego models is that there is a possibility to change the
orginal model and add more stuff to it or make it better or more fun or just
better looking.

Larger sets will almost always means that they have more rooms for more
techincal gadget like doors opening with pnaumatic, steering on more wheels,
piston engine, transmission gear box, cranes and so on. And THAT is what I
like!! :)

HEEY!! Stolen my idea? :)
I have a (for now) a 6 wheel drive chassis with 8466 wheels. Mine is not
twin steer. But probably have to add it to make room for more technical
gadget like a few motors and pnaumatic controllers for the crane.
I've also have drive on all wheels and independent suspension for each
wheel. My problem now is to make a BIG vehicle as small as possible... You
probably dont understand what I mean, but there is a few things like
difrential and independ suspensions that togheter is hard to make in small
size. So thats is exactly what I'll try to do :)
Here is what I got so far:

| Hello all, After reading all the threads of the original message, I would like to contribute my 2 cents, (before I’ll gladly give them, along with few hundred dollars more to Lego). 8454 – Funny how the more ugly set got more responds than the other (...)
