I’ll probably take some videos and more pictures over the weekend, so if there is any aspect you’d like a close-up of, let me know...

Nice Build!

Which PF cables are you using? are they your own or the Lego Long PF cables?

Do you have any cables passing through the turntable or are you running two (or more) independent systems? with multiple battery boxes?

Thanks Parax!

Actually they are my own home brew versions. I can’t find a retailer here in Oz, that sells the extension cable, and the $30 shipping is a little steep for 3 cables. You can find a step-by-step guide on how I made them on brickshelf http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=350906 The bonus with my cables is that they can be routed in places an official one couldn’t (way thinner & slightly less wide).

Yes I have both drive motor cables passing through the turntable, but I still can get 2 full turns in both directions before the cable twist becomes too tight. So I figured this wasn’t too bad. The model is powered by only the one battery box located in the rear superstructure.

Chris.
