I would suggest that you take at the Axle Collection Thread that exists in this forum for this exact reason.

Wow. For that many gears, that is wonderfully small... I might need to go buy some parts in order to complete this, and put it to use...

This is awesome, and personally, the appearance of the frame alone is much better than adding the shell. Excited for the video and instructions, I'd love to play around with this!

Out of curiosity, I went and looked up how I could acquire this set in North America... It would appear that I would have to spend upwards of $2000 USD on the set alone, before international shipping ( $100+ USD ) in order to get this set... I am very disappointed by Lego here. Some of their past releases, if anyone remembers them, they include the following sets: Red Baron a German triplane fighter aircraft, with visible guns, from the First World War, and two versions of the Sopwith Camel (old) & Sopwith Camel (new) which are also British fighter aircraft from the First World War, again with visible mounted guns. Shame on you, Lego, for cancelling your release of a search and rescue aircraft.

@Jim When do we get the results of the contest? Sorry for getting antsy, it feels like forever ago that I entered this contest...

@Jim Man, if I had seen you weren't closing this for another couple days... I wouldn't have freaked out. But hey, I got my video edited and posted in record time! Probably took two hours. Thanks for running this contest! Really glad I finally got my entry in.

It has officially been over one month since I last posted on EuroBricks... One month of classes and exams... One month of late nights and homework and essays and projects... And I finally have found the time to finish the video. As this is my first time making a real, edited video, I would love any and all feedback that you guys have. Please let me know how I did. I hope you like it! Thanks for watching, feel free to critique it, and my apologies it took so long. I hope it was worth the wait! Cheers, - Leonardo

I am back from a short vacation, and I've started editing a video, which should be up within the next week, hopefully.

Yeah, there is a lot more I would have liked to add... Sadly, no time for anymore than I did. Again, perhaps over spring break or the summer, I can add more to it.

PHOTOS!!! High-quality, well-lit photos! Spent some time outside today filming and taking photos, so here are the final photos you have been waiting for! More photos are posted over on my Flickr account if you want to see more this beast. A video will be coming soon! Stay tuned! - Leonardo

Cool, thanks.

It is a bit of both. The more you use them, the more the stiffness goes away. However, having both kinds of switches, the new 2015 variant is quite a lot stiffer.

Beautiful Ford GT, the livery is well done, as is the bodywork shaping. I just wish the red stripe went all the way around the car to complete the look. @JamesJT Also, your rebrickable link goes to your Flickr page.
