Not at all. I posted this quite a while back, though I only put it up on
Brickshelf today. Because of the proxy arrangment here at work, it used to
be very difficult to upload to Brickshelf- as of today, it works great!

At the time I took that one, the back did not have working lights. That
wire back there was just routed around the cones to let it slide in/out more
easily. I've since added 2 lights to the back as well. So there is a wire
coming from below, past the cones, between the grey thinwalls, and into a
wire end where the blue & black bricks/plates are. Another wire end in the
same place sends power forward to the 2 light bricks in the nose. Again, I
used grey thinwalls in the front to let the wire through.

Thanks- I'm glad you like it. I'm also glad it got another moment in the sun!
Here's the gallery on my web site. It has the same pictures, but also has a
bunch of descriptive text.

Now that I look at it again, I think that I could get the fans to rotate
using a micromotor and belt drive...
