You've seen it at BimP[1]. You've seen it at Brickfest[2]. Now you can see the full details of it at my site: (URL) finally finished my own personal webpages on the model. It's taken quite a while to get this together. I took way too many pictures! (...) (22 years ago, 8-Aug-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

Thanks, Luke! I used 3 of the newer lego motors like the one in 8735. I heard about that RC 8466, very awesome. That's actually what made me more even more determined. I posted the whole gallery of pics, don't know when exactly it will be up. Keep (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
