Bad Company might be the name, but this is one game I'm looking forward to spending more time with.

Callan sent in details about an interesting Origami V-12 Four-Stroke Engine, it’s a paper engine that pumps just like real engines (with the help of some electricity). One V-12 engine consists of 195 sheets of fine-printed patterns. From those sets, 1,978 pieces are used in total. And it only weighs 3.2 lbs when finished. This makes your 1,000-piece puzzle look like a piece of cake.
