Wow...very impressive model there! It combines the great looks of the Model
Team series with the functionality of Technic to create an outstanding
fusion of the two...great work! The website is also very informative and
well-constructed...

I actually never start building an model at all until I have an exact idea
of what it should look like and how all the functions should operate. What I
do is draw sketches of each of the sub-assemblies, outer framework,
gear-trains, etc. (usually during some boring lecture in school :-) ) and
when I have all the ideas completed, I start building the actual unit. This
basically keeps me from cancelling a project due to lack of ideas.

Yes that's true; a Lego creation is a work of art...although I do tend to
break down my models after several months (maybe longer, depending on how
much time and effort I put into them) since I usually end up using up most
of the useful elements which I need for building other creations. If only
one could get an infinite supply of parts! :-)
