Strange and Wonderful Harvest

The overall effect on the model is "Wow, what's that." An odd looking set, to say the least. Intriguing though. While not the most streamlined of sets, the Combine Harvester is a nice counterpoint to all those stylish racecars, or single color trucks or bright yellow construction equipment. I love the color combinations of green, grey, white, red, and black. It gives the model depth, without the use of stickers.
On the technical side, the control for the "white arm" is effective, but a little hard to use for those of use with fat fingers. It needs to be a little lower. In addition, the red tubing used for the "cutter" is not long enough, and I had to modify the assembly in order to make the unit work (another 1-cm would have fixed the problem).
The use of larger tires/wheels up front (compared to the back tires/wheels) is a nice styling touch. However, each time I look at the finished model, I wonder what I could put in the large empty space in the back. It just seems to need some type of "machinery" in there (maybe a conveyor belt) to add a touch more interest to an otherwise interesting looking set.
