Cool work! Could make a drinking game out of it, too: "Spot the Greeble." You guys have a lot of cool stuff at http://www.oddboyz.co.uk/ so I linked to it!

Too bad the pics have to be changed to links, per forum rules.
But isn't it all Klingon opera?

Umm....does the vacuum still work? lol.

I really like what you did. I never would have thought it was a vacuum cleaner.
