Take a look here and see what I am talking about. One of the parts I liked the most are the built in breaks for the build. Sort of like chapters in a book, there are section where its easy to stop and put away for the night. This particular build took me about 5 hours so its nice to be able to work for an hour or so, then leave without worrying about where you left off. Below are some shots in the middle of the build to help show the level of detail lurking below the body panels of a finished Lego Technic.
