hi Oyvind
it's always attract to build separate parts and then joint them together
but IMO... let's say when i built acceptable part i try to build it in
not join but build in
it confuses me sometimes because i have to rebuild big part of model very
often
that is why it's really cool to have as many bricks as possible
to be able to build 2 versions of model at one time :)))
it gives me an ability to look at old version and eventually return to it
when i was building my car seat i had 3 of them in different "evolution
states"
try to make a suspension in non standard way
i mean try to place shock-absorbers parallel to the chassi
try to move differentials up or forward/backward
you had used so big wheels so you have to be able to put everything inside
whatever it is
