For my Mechanical modeling workshop I did at the Blender Conference I made a steam engine. After Bconf i added some details to the model, animated it and used the tips that andy and matt gave at their workshop for the lighting and compositing.

I have been trying to set up a rig to do something similar to this. I am looking at your blend trying to figure it all out, so far it looks more elegant that my rigs.

Thanks, and again good job
