Alexander / Spanjaard / Ben / Robert / Mr James and Gorby - Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot coming from the guys who are always putting out great builds that inspire me!

Mr D - yes, I used a rechargeable 9V battery - amazon.com/gp/produc..le?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This has a micro-usb charging port at the other end so I attached a micro-usb extender cable and routed it to the bottom of the Warthog.

I used blinking 3mm and Micro-LEDs for the rest of the kit from Amazon. Some folks use Arduinos or electronic kits, but that's a bit out of my league at this point - so I'll stick with blinking LEDs instead. - Simpler, Easier, and less parts to break. 😀

I can rename existing topics if that helps?
If you think a new topic should be created = go for it 🙂

See example for Toyota Celica

Toyota Celica (1981-1985)

Hi there... just wanted check back in on this. Cheers

Bill Newcomer
$55 and free shipping on Amazon after a recent $45 price drop. I figured it was time to jump on it.

Bill Newcomer
NZD to USD exchange rate makes it $55 USD to me. This is not too bad. I am afraid that shipping from the other side of the planet will make it cost prohibited. Best wishes to whoever gets the privilege of accepting your offer.

Ronald Birl
Unfortunately I have already purchased one last night for $99 USD + $14.50 shipping and with tax total of $123.65 USD.

Bill Newcomer
Ouch!

Martin Oostrom
Near the top should be a button called marketplace in green. Tap it and it turns grey.

Ed Hubbart
It doesn't seem to have worked.
