Re: snowcat
Wow, what a nice model model you have there (despite i'm not a huge Technic fan), it's really a piece of art.
You can count with my support in Cuusso.

Re: snowcat
Saw it yesterday! Very good!
Wonder how have you done the rotating lights!?
Maybe it is some sort of special effect (FX) made in the video preparation!?

Re: snowcat
Também fiquei surpreendido com as luzes.
Mas acho que existem umas que já vêm programadas para criarem este efeito. O Sariel usou no seu Tow Truck II

I was also very surprised with the lights.
But I think there are some lights that already come programmed, just like the ones Sariel used in his Tow Truck II

DARK AGE or maybe just busy?

Re: snowcat
Have doubts about that.
O Sariel model, the LEDs blink (the turn signals) or or alternate (the light bar).
In this snowcat they seem to be half covered and to spin like in a firetruck or ambulance, inside a 2x2 space. Wondering...

Re: snowcat
I'd say each 2x2 cylinder has 4 lights that light up in sequence, giving the illusion of a spinning single light: the light appears to be only on those 4 positions, not moving between them.
To create a real spinning light, maybe we could do like on real vehicles: a single fixed light with a directional reflector spinning around it. A mini turntable and a few chrome silver parts should do the trick, although the end result would be a bit large...

Re: snowcat
Maybe you're right, but then I think they're not PF lights. Even though we can attach four leds from the bottom of a 2x2 round brick, I don't see how they could be disguised to look like seen in this video. 
I also guess the motor controlling the lights sequence to be shared in the adder-subtractor module in the drive-train, as the sequence slows down when the PisttenBully is turning in place.

Re: snowcat
Yeah, definitely not LEGO lights. The PF LED casings would be visible (and lit) under the round bricks.

Re: snowcat
And if fact we cannot attach 4 from the bottom of a 2x2 round brick. I overlooked this...
