If you mean does anyone else not see the picture, then yes. All I get are placeholder icons and the file name. I'm using Chrome in Windows 10. Strangely the nodding cat clip comes up okay. But I assume that may be a GIF clip. Under it is a link to the clip, but note that it has ".jpg" tacked to the end of it that is not part of the link. The URL for which also ends with a ".jpg" extension - didn't know JPGs could encode video clips? Somewhat strange.
I think that this is because of either the DNS attacks or the platform transfer (or a combination of both).
Sorry, my fault. When, after the BIG TRANSFER, all the photo disappeared, I restored my old threads but forgot this one.
Now I replaced all the photo regarding my wooden loco build (fortunately I never throw away anything)
Aother little Zealot piece is restored....

Oh lovely pictures! Really show off how intricate and well fitting these kits are. Can't wait to get stuck into my next two - the Hexapod and Drift Cobra. Just got to complete the Butterfly for my wife first. Which, naturally, comes after the household chores . The Butterfly is also rubber powered. The Hexapod and Drift Cobra have big clockwork style springs. I'll do a thread on them when I get there.
The detail and engineering on these models is quite extraordinary. Even the humble butterfly also has a plate with roller bearings to act as a thrust race when the motor is all wound up. Works perfectly and very smooth action. Hard to believe in a kit made out of plywood.
The kit even has a length of cord in it. This mystified me for a while as there's no cord visible in the finished model. Then I discovered it's included to assist in pulling the flat rubber bands through some impossibly narrow slots when assembling the motor. Now that really takes "everything included" claims to a new level!
