Thanks Tobbe!

Eight motors and three battery boxes, that's alot of cubic
brick-space. Not much left for gears and support beams I imagine...

It did get quite tricky right enough, but I have to say that using some of
the newer types of technic pieces really helped here. I really think these
pieces have great possibilities in terms of getting very strong mechanisms
into very small spaces.

Not to mention the amount of sets needed to gather all those pieces...

There are a few Sith Infiltrators in there ;-) I think many of the white
parts came from the 5563 model team racing truck, and the chassis was built
from mainly the 8280 fire engine, a great wee model IMHO. I like the jeep
and trailer alternative model in this set.

I'm looking forward to seeing the gory gears and reading your text!
Some movies would also fill some of my never-ceasing demand for
Jennifer MOC's.

There will be movies! We have a new digital camcorder at work which I'll be
able to borrow so it should be a lot less stressful than the previous
approach that involved a videoconferencing camera plugged straight into a
bt848 frame grabber card - obviously not a very portable solution!
