Merry (belated) Christmas to you and yours, I wish you all the best and lots of health in 2025.

This multiplexer looks like it would work for motors. I haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it: https://www.mindsensors.com/home/32-multiplexer-for-nxtev3-motors.html A full list of available multiplexers can be found here, most of them are for hooking up multiple sensors to one port: https://docs.ev3dev.org/projects/lego-linux-drivers/en/ev3dev-stretch/muxs.html

Hopefully a Space Shuttle remake.

Yeah, it's often a compromise between strength and looks. It's still a great model, nice work.

The mechanism for the wings and most of the shape look really good, but I think the cockpit would have been better if it were made from angled connectors. The limiting factor might be the color availability, but it would let you make the big window in the roof.

It's a great looking model. The rules allow one battery box, are you planning to remove the second one?

Why not use System slopes? https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catString=31&catType=P

Hi Grum, all the best, speedy recovery, and I hope you get to build soon. Glad you're out of the hospital and that the miracles they performed worked.

Diff locks on a manual model would generate a lot of user complaints. "Why is there so much rolling resistance?" "The car doesn't want to turn." I would be very surprised to see them in this set.

Lots of great details in this model. I know it's not the same type of ship, but it reminds me of 4015, the first Lego set I got. Wonderful work.

@amorti Are you talking about the instructions for the Hammerhead?

Those crop circles in the snow are mesmerizing. Looks like a very fun toy. The body looks awesome, too.

Hi Grum, I missed a whole bunch of updates, just got caught up. I don't remember any project of yours having some many mishaps, I hope you finish it without many others. By the way, don't be too hard on yourself for making assembly errors, they're unavoidable when you are excited to finish the build.

I'm very impressed with this, the 4 jaw chuck is my favorite feature. Does the tail stock have a live center? Does it work well?

This is a very good looking set. I think they missed an opportunity by not putting "batteries not required" on the box.
