Tipper Truck

I've just been booked to run another series of kids crafts workshops during 2011, so I've been photographing the models so the sessions can be advertised. They're all based on engineering principles. I've got motorised cars that are gear driven, pulley driven and propeller based. A robert arm, an electric buzzer game and the tipper truck, this one works on pneumatics so that the truck actually tips. Looking forward to having lots of 10 year olds, drag racing their finished models and pimping their rides...

It seemed like a good opportunity to try using multi flash mode to try and capture the movement... probably needed a dark background but still not too bad... I'll have to find other suitable subjects to practice on.
