Now I have been looking at the bulldozer and considering buying Good kit to build?

I also really really want the 8880 super car. Never got it as a kid and it was one that I really wanted. In the run up to xmas these are fetching a fair amount!

Isn't that the one Phil has three of? Make him an offer

The dozer is a good kit, loads of parts, and 4 motors. The whole studless thing seems to have gone out of control though compared 20 years ago when I last messed about with lego. Here is the making of movie.

Currently building 8285-1. Then a couple of 2nd hand ones I picked up, 8448, 8412, 8842.

The 8285-1 tow truck has taken me 4 days so far. Just pottering with it, hour here, hour there.

I was something of a gawd with knex. I used to make the models from the wee pictures you got when you bought a set. The fold out catalogue. I made a crane without ever buying the set

I had the Lego Mindstorms set, with the programmable block which you could hook up to touch sensors and motors. I made this awesome 6 legged spider which could crawl around and change direction when it hit something Still have the set somewhere but not touched it in years....happy days!

Dunno if anyone's posted these before, but there's a few guys that have been designing pneumaticly powered engines made from lego for a while now.

2480 RPM apparently.
