First few bits and bobs have arrived! Am going to stick pics on photobucket, here - http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/Kr...?sort=3&page=1

So, 4x 1000rpm 12v gearmotors. They are surprisingly heavy, which gives a positive feeling of maybe being not-entirely-unreliable. The shaft spins very smoothly, and the build quality seems reasonable. The shaft has a bit of play in-and-out, but is solid laterally, which is promising. I have yet to hook them up to a supply but so far they look the part.

The weapon bearings also arrived. 5x (will either use 4 or 2 in the weapon, not sure) 12mm ID, 21mm OD, 5mm wide ball bearings. Not much to say, other than I think they'll serve.

Desperately waiting for more goodies now!
