For my coming Jabba's palace I've built some technical device. I've made an instruction to see how I used some SNOT-techniques.
The Silcantar Valthalion is a all-wheel drive 4-wheel steering mid-engined supercar. It is powered by a transverse-mounted V8 engine located directly behind the driver's seat, which is placed in the center of the car, like in the McLaren F1. The passenger seat is located to the left of the driver's seat, with the position of the McLaren's second passenger seat occupied by the 4-speed manual transmission.
Valthalion's styling cues are primarily drawn from Formula 1 racecars, Ford GT, and Audi R8. Like a Formula 1 racer, Valthalion lacks fenders over the wheels. While this is probably not an aerodynamic advantage, it increases playability by increasing suspension travel and it looks freakin' awesome. If you were to remove the roof and front headlights, Valthalion would likely closely resemble a Formula 1 car due to its chassis and body design. The large front grill was largely inspired by Audi R8, and blends influences from American muscle cars and modern supercars. Because it combines features from muscle cars and supercars, Valthalion coincidentally resembles Ford GT, with its long hood and fastback and low profile.
Valthalion began as an attempt to create a supercar with low ground clearance from the parts of the 8880 Super Car. My primary, if not only, gripe with 8880 is that it looks like a Lamborghini Gallardo body welded to the chassis of a Dodge Ram. While this makes for great playability, it looks pretty ugly. Valthalion's wishbones are horizontal in their normal position, unlike 8880's, which are angle down at about 30 degrees. The result is a car with a total height less than twice the diameter of the wheels. The omission of fenders was an unintentional consequence of the low profile. It is pretty much impossible to create fenders for this car that give the suspension remotely reasonable travel and are not half the height of the windshield.
Valthalion, like Silcantar, is derived from Sindarin (one of Tolkein's elvish languages), and means "dauntless strength". (Silcantar, coincidentally, means "light bearer", roughly).

Had this idea in my head since Bricks Cascade last year when a classic Technic gear challenge was put out there. I'm not sure if it's done or not but figure I'd post the progress. Enjoy the gears!
Added yellow brace along base of rear window, black rear spoiler, and black rear bumper. Battery box is propped up by 3L Technic Pin with Bush so that it does not contact the 36-tooth black gear at the right.

Trying to learn a new technic. Doesnt go very well. Need to use it as silhouettes in a sunset, I am about to do. Now I lost confidence. Stupid. Getting old :-/
Here's one that I built in Bricksmith some time back, but just recently got all the right parts to build it for real. It uses a simple leg mechanism that was mostly just an excuse to use those cool bent liftarms in old brown. And, of course, some cheese slopes.

I made this illustration of the tonearm of the famous Technics 1200 turntable for my man Meltman. He's going to have it tattoo'ed on his arm soon.. if he still dares to.
So, we have managed to lose some grey wheel hubs over the years and I didn't want to take the space sets apart again yet, hence the red "cog" wheels here on 8845.
My first attempt at an all technic minigun. I don't know if it's any good because I haven't seen any other examples, but I'm sure you can tell that it is a minigun. :)
