And by the way, I'll bet you could hook up a team of guinea pigs and they'd pull it just fine. : )

I am doing it the old fashion way, Ruler, pencil, eraser, protractor and lots of pics. I do have an advantage in that I have a penchant for drawing and painting and still have in my memory all of my drafting abilities from my college days. back then, all work was done by hand and blue pencil on graph paper. I do have some CAD programs but I tend to draw faster by hand than with multiple layers of CGs. I feel more comfortable with a ruler in my hand.

Here is a picture as to where I am at now with the model. Build will resume next posting.

As for a team, I was thinking of a pack of Chihuahuas or maybe G-Force, but the dogs are hard to train and the hamster like to chew on paper.:D
