The model is excellant, some of the bricks/parts could do with some more specular highlights/relections. Did you rig all the parts together so that actually work mechanically or did you just animate them in time?

I always wanted that model too, its kind of an old one, nice to see it in action! I created a lego plane animation if your intrested.

If I'm understanding your question, I think it is properly rigged to work mechanically. For example, when you set the angle of the top steering wheel all the connected gears are calculated and turn appropriately and end up turning the wheels' steering. That was the point of the video, to demonstrate that. (Let me know if you had something else in mind.)

I have seen your plane and it was fantastic! Great job. It's in one of my playlists of CG Lego; I'm always looking for more if you have any.

WOW O_O amazing!!!

did you stop the render sometime?

Fortunately the computer did not crash so it was able to render straight through for 22 days.

(Although, there is a way to render specific portions at a time so I could resume an animation midway if a crash does occur.)
