Thanks. I stick strictly to Sixties Lego parts because it's a challenge, and the results do have that classic Lego "chunkiness". I made a model of a hedgehog a few years ago; one of my friends said "That looks nothing like a hedgehog", and another, who's a sculptor, really liked it. But then I found a large Meccano set, and that was that for a while! Now I'm thinking that a working dial mechanism would be very easy in Meccano.
