Altair1

Excellent review, as always. I bought the set (found it on sale for only 90 €) and modified it so that the wings could take the V-shape. Now it's almost perfect (could be a bit darker indeed but that's OK).

I own about 60 sets for 32,000 pieces and 360 minifigs, mostly from Star Wars OT and Lord of the Rings themes, which allowed me to recreate most main scenes of my two (i.e. six) favorite movies. When I leave this world (hopefully in a Lego made coffin :-), my collection will go to my son, who should pass it on to his children, etc, etc..

Congrats, your Sandcrawler looks amazing! This is exactly what I have been dreaming of, and I believe I have most of the parts for it. Would you by any chance have an LDD file, or some more detailed instructions to build it?
