DeLorean time machine (14)

The wheels on the model are hinged to fold down. The mechanism is fairly straightforward, but it wasn't easy to figure out. Using a single hingeline would mean that the wheels wouldn't stick out of the sides as much as they should and would hang far to low.

 

Using these wheels arch pieces complicates giving a model steering, because they don't leave enough room. I typically use a little SNOT building to get it sorted, as on my K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. With the fold-down wheels, steering was out of the question, though.
