Sheepo's Defender 110 has been mentioned a couple of times on here, particularly as regards obtaining all the bits to make it. This is what you need:
Untitled by Reg Marjason, on Flickr
It's got seven motors and three remote controls. The 3,500 pieces have come from the UK, the Czech Republic, Holland, Germany, Italy, France and Slovenia and it took me over a day to figure out where to get them all from at a sensible price (if you call £550 for Lego 'sensible'
). Bricklink was essential - it looks a bit old and clunky at first but it turns out that it's brilliant. You can download an XML parts list from Sheepo's site and upload it to Bricklink as your wanted list. Then it's just a question of figuring out which stores have the parts at the most reasonable prices and there are a staggering number of unofficial Lego shops on there.
Sheepo's instructions look epic - there's 448 pages of them so 20 euros seems like a bargain considering how much work he must have put into this thing.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a little building to do....

I was gutted when it didn't make it to a full Lego Model.

In amongst it all there was lots of kits with no distinct primary model, turns out they are universal kits, new one on me. Anyway, I couldn't be bother to build all the models for all the kits to prove that all the parts were there, so I kitted them using Bricklink inventory's.

I am slowly recovering the spare bedroom floor, but boy did I under estimate the scale of this...
Oh, and I still haven't taken a photo of the Space Shuttle.

If I ignore colour matching, I have 99.5% of the pieces required for that

Been a bit busy so progress with Sheepo's Defender 110 is a little slow but I've done the axles and chassis now.

It's extraordinarily complex. It even has operating disk brakes - no mean feat to engineer that on the steered wheels.
Next it's the drive train.
