Is it an electric/motor driven pneumatic pump?

151 quid from tesco

its a lot of money, however when you consider that a shitty little star wars xwing with about 30 pieces in it is 20 quid, it looks like a bargain for 2700 pieces.

Either the smaller stuff is over priced or the big stuff is better value for money

If you keep them until they are sold out you can sell them for more than the original price. Sold the unimog a few months back

I was expecting much more than that, £150 seems like a fairly good deal compared to some stuff! That's one hell of a manual too

Much safer than a home-made helicopter too

Some images so far

All the parts for stage 1



One of the first things was to make the engine









Some final images of stage 1 complete. The steering quite cleverly uses the top hazard lights, and is 4 wheel steering





Stage 2 was the stabalisers and part of the gearbox

Some more done today,

Started off with the rear loading bed



Then a diff was made



Which connected to another to make the rear axles



Which then connected to the rear loading bed uses some quite interesting tie bar type setup for the suspension too



This was joined to the main body



Wheels on, this thing is pretty big!
