You can get some good 3D software off the net for free which allows you to build virtual models, I did this a few years back.


That looks like the rig out of Mad Max 2

I could spend hours and hours and hours pissing about with that stuff


That brings back a couple memories.
Ic still got this ... lost in the loft somewhere no doubt.
Think i'll go have a look for it tomorro

I'll have a look around and try and find it for you mate, going back a few years and I'm buggered if I can remember the name. I remember using POV Raytracer to render it though which is also free.

The best thing was how they managed to give instructions to build 2 different things with the same bricks. Must take hours to work out
