I'm trying to add some simple electronics to my LEGO models, but I'm not sure where to start. Browsing the part inventories at peeron.com, I see battery boxes, motors, connectors, and lights rated for 4.5, 9, or 12V. It seems like I should pick a (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(URL) It's like an 8" tall Stikfas, only brickier. I'm still undecided as to whether this is lifesize, or a 1:18 scale representation of a 15' tall behemoth (which is roughly how big it is compared to the "human-sized" regular Stikfas model).
