Full story and entry now in the entry tread. Bonus points to whoever catces the reference\quote I have put in there :)

R.U.D.O.L.F. Technical details: R.U.D.O.L.F.: 2 M motors, 1 PF lights, 1 PF IR Receiver, 1 RCX Light sensor. Santa: All joints movable, and fully posable. Sled: Small wheels for playability, attachments for R.U.D.O.L.F. in the front, and attachment for trailer in the back. The story so far: A terrible mix up at the North Pole happened, and the barrels of magical energy flying drink ™ mere mixed up with barrels from the brewery. Now all the reindeer are all drunk or hung over, and missing their flying magic! So close to christmas, what are they to do!?!? A few of the elfs sat down to ponder an they came up with a solution. They took an old dozer and stripped it down, switched the gear box around and filled it up with the magical energy flying drink ™. To all their great surprises, it worked! They now installed a few antennas, a couple of light at the front for navigation and a red N.O.S.E.* They now named it R.U.D.O.L.F.** 6000*** Of course, a new sled is also needed, so they tossed one togeather as well. Pictures below are from the first tests of the new creation. Tying his shoe laces. Sitting down for a rest. Partial liftoff. Airborn! Sitting around in the sled. On the road. Closeoup of the lights. Wondering of into the distance. Lineup of all 3 models. The sled in all it's glory, you can see the controls for R.U.D.O.L.F. here as well. * Navigational Operating Search Emitter ** Robotical Underestimated Dragging Operational Levitating Flyer *** A stripped down version of thr R.U.D.O.L.F. 9000, but it's software upgradble (kudos to anyone who recognizes the quote.)

Here's a little sneek peak of the third and final model... Full story and more (better) pictures will come i the entry tread.

I've been out shopping my christmas presents with my fiance (needen some carrying help :P) So, I know I'm getting 9396, 42009 & 60024 for christmas :D I can't wait!!

Well, a couple of you did more or less get it :) Here are some pictures of model 2, red suit and all :) I'm not completely happy with the arms, but as of now I think I am happy :) As seen from the photos he is more or less fully posable, and that I am very happy with.

I might add that the lights are in the front, and the IR receiver is in the back :)

It is tracked yes, and it will pull something, but it is not a tractor... :) Hopefully I will have model 2 ready in a couple of days, and it should be possibly a littlebit easier... :)

My little technic heart :) Merry Christmas :)

So, here is the beginning for my entry... This is the first model more or less finished, althoug it might not look like it :P I am wanting a more "rough" "industrial" look on this one, with a kick of humour... Anyway, I'm not telling you what it is supposed to be, or what the overall theme is. As it is kinda special looking, I thought it might be fun for you all to guess :) I haven't counted the peices yet, but I am very confident that I am withinthe 500part limit. Peices include: 2 power functions m motors 1 power function lights 1 power functions IR receiver and the red light is from a RCX light sensor via fiberoptics.

That looks great :) I really like the engins and hangars. :)

http://peeron.com/inv/sets/8851-1 should do the trick :)

Looks great so far :) Still pondering on my build, all good ideas seem to be taken.. :/

Cool looking.. Is that a 6 cylinder boxer engine setup? If so as a subaru owner, I approve ;)

Are there any thoughs on how close the relation between the tree models should\could be? Could it be as vauge as "These are three things I have in my living room?"

That is awsome :)

Fantastic :)

Nice, I really like that model. I do espesially like your solution for the engine fuselage.

I just bougt Jabba's Palace, Rancor Pit, 3 planets (TIE Bomber, Snow Speeder and Tantive IV) at half price for 1190NOK (about 200USD, 131BGP, 152Eur). Wery happy about that :)

That ship i sitting on my shelf as my pride and joy from when I was younger. It was my favourite, and I still remember saving up to it and buying it. Great playabilit as well. Congratulations on your score :)

You can add me in Asker Norway :)

Thank you, I am really looking forward to seeing it in all it's glory :)

Hello to ya all. My name is Trond, from Norway. I somewhat recently emerged from the dark ages and once again found the joy of Lego :) My fondes Lego memory is the 6984 Galacitc Mediator set. My biggest and favourite set from my childhood :) As an adult I am somewhat more into Technic and Mindstorms, but I also enjoy Star Wars and other themes (currently in the process of building 10188 that I am getting from my fiance for my 30th birthday :)
