That looks 
Is it an electric/motor driven pneumatic pump?
Can you get pics? As i'm quite interested to see how it's done on this lego model.

151 quid from tesco
its a lot of money, however when you consider that a shitty little star wars xwing with about 30 pieces in it is 20 quid, it looks like a bargain for 2700 pieces.
Either the smaller stuff is over priced or the big stuff is better value for money

If you keep them until they are sold out you can sell them for more than the original price. Sold the unimog a few months back

I was expecting much more than that, £150 seems like a fairly good deal compared to some stuff! That's one hell of a manual too 
Much safer than a home-made helicopter too

Some images so far
All the parts for stage 1

One of the first things was to make the engine




Some final images of stage 1 complete. The steering quite cleverly uses the top hazard lights, and is 4 wheel steering


Stage 2 was the stabalisers and part of the gearbox

Some more done today,
Started off with the rear loading bed

Then a diff was made

Which connected to another to make the rear axles

Which then connected to the rear loading bed uses some quite interesting tie bar type setup for the suspension too

This was joined to the main body

Wheels on, this thing is pretty big!
