Hi guys,
I know I've been absent for a long time. I hope the video's #1, #2 and #3 about some ideas I have over time, showed you that I'm not dead yet.
Here's two other pictures of my latest project, although also that has been on a break since october. Hope you'll like what I'm building. (Banana for scale)

Any other spaceship requests? I don't do Avengers stuff -_-'  I'm thinking about the Whizzing Arrow 2/3 from Oban Star Racers (or another ship from the series in that matter)

There's no use for a green flexi rod... so this is understandable. But a red one... I mean, why not? curious.

It's look pretty cool ! THis is the type of model that K'nex industrie should sell in their shops ! Next to this, The Plants vs Zombie or others models like that are totally naught...

Thanks!
Yeah and the size is not too big. I think there are about 200 pieces in there right now? Perhaps 250 when complete.

Cool!

That looks amazing! But what is Hand of God steering, and is there any motor?

Hand of God steering means that you (God, compared to your miniature car) can drive your car around with your hand, when the steering wheel is easy accessible by hand (on top of the roof in this case). Otherwise you'll have to reach in the passenger space to turn the wheel (like in my 4x4) which is less ergonomic.
No motor, pushed by hand. It's fun enough and otherwise I couldn't get it so small.

G, I'm always surprised by the new ways of connecting pieces you discover. Never thought of checking if the tan clips fit into the holes of the blue hinge connectors like that. Brilliant!

Really nice design as well. I'm impressed with how compact it is. Keen to see what different colour variations you come up with. Seems to me a yellow version could work due to the amount of metallic yellow connectors?

Notice the grey gear in the front steering system? It means he can steer the car while moving it by rotating that gear. Almost as if a 'hand of God' wear reaching down and steering the car. through the gear.

^That's correct. I added my own explanation

Thanks for your comment The blue hinge-tan clip is about the smallest linear hinge you can get. It works perfect in this configuration and it's so simple.
The small size of the model makes it accessible for more people
Yeah I thought so too. And the red and orange won't hinder the main yellow colour. I also have some yellow 4-way pieces to throw in, to replace the black ones. The rest can stay silver/grey.
 

Agreed. I like bridge building

Also I thought of a rubber-band car. I thought: well but not everyone has the same rubber band. True, but the judge can use the same one all the time. Rubber band: those thick ones the post-delivery uses (in holland at least). https://www.google.nl/search?q=postelastieken&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwikpdry5rfZAhVIYlAKHdGtDs4Q_AUICygC&biw=1745&bih=863&dpr=1.1

Like the ideas coming from you guys. I'm sure we can organize smthn again, keep the ideas coming

This looks pretty promising!
Don't forget that a motor can draw several mA's... if drawn directly from your microchip, the chip will not like that! Best if you switch the motor on/off with a transistor. Speed you can regulate with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The Arduino has this on several outputs.
