I started having a look at TC11 today but my spinning disc turned into a ferris wheel and then a hamster wheel...

Good little MOC for a laugh! I think (I haven't had hamsters for a couple of years) it's even accurate in the way when it starts up it slips backwards, and then surges forwards when it stops. Whether this was intentional or not I don't know, but overall it's pretty cool!

Good to see you back and building. Fun little MOC. 

Yes, no lego for 6 months then 5 MOCs in 3 weeks.

Played for! there is a rubber band that pulls the rodent clockwise.

I bet Sariel approves this creation :wink: .

I hope so, I will change it to "gerbil wheel" if I'm stepping on any toes.

The "trick" with this one (if anybody is wondering) is that the wheel makes the rodents head and legs move while gravity and a rubber band hold the hamster in place.

Now that's just super cute, and it seems to work extremely well.

I have to give you cudos for the legs. I built a running hamster myself yesterday, but I went the easy route and replaced the legs with wheels.

That's really neat.  I'd love to see detailed photos or pay a little money for instructions.  I know some people that would get a kick out of this.

I applaud this, even if the hamster looks somewhat suspiciously like a goat ;)

Thank you! I removed the horns.

I updated the video, it now has photo instructions.
