hi drags, at this stage, as soon as i read the rules, it is the outside i concentrated on finishing last night so that i can at least take photos. The inside is a hodge podge of wires and a mish mash of materials. I will certainly take a photo of the inside, in its its non glory, which is a good idea because then i can have a before and after shot

I still need to come up with a 100 word personal blurb and maybe even a YouTube video for the judges. (and still post all my photos and videos)
plus there are still ideas for finer details i want to implement. Like "broken" headlights that run off the HDD header (flash when HDD in use) and more exploded drivers cab (cockpit for the sundy)

(dont let skoups see these) - they will be the "before" shots :O
I haven't had the time to neaten anything up inside as the pics are due before lunch tomorrow and I have been concentrating on getting the outside done.
at the moment there is no cd rom, but i am toying with the idea of having it between the wheels facing sideways underneath the red "resupply" station.

very nice fly! BTW, in my view, CD-roms and DVD-roms are overrated, just use USB.

i hear you skoups, good thinking , an external can always be used at a later stage - depends on what this is actually going to be used for.

Thanks Fly... unlike other individuals, who I will not name, I do try to add value when I say something....
Ps, I assume you did notice you are missing a wheel and that the other wheel seems to be a bit worn out? ;-)

actually skoups, I am missing a few wheels, I was given four, the sundy needs 6, I lost 1 and bought another 4 that aren't even close to what I want, but time pressure, and the intention to break and maim the bought ones are what you are seeing. The wheels are supposed to look the worse for wear, as the sundy has been in battle.
edit - if you are talking about the worn one at the top of the pic, it is an "on road" tyre that is almost new (been in a box at back of shop for a few hundred years.
