Posted March 14, 20168 yr Long time no moc, For the last few months I've been building, bricklinking, improving and filming my Bucket wheel excavator MOC Subscribe if you want to see more!
March 14, 20168 yr Author Undercarriage lokks like unfinished. It's finished but made open for rough terrain
March 15, 20168 yr Author 2016 - The year of the Bucket Wheel Excavator. Yeah! I'm so pumped for the set!!!
March 15, 20168 yr Cool model, well done!!! What do you need the set for, this is so much better I think...
March 15, 20168 yr Very very nice and the use of red liftarms certainly make this model pop out and highlights its shape from the LBG structure. Love it.

Cheers, I hadn't built anything red before so I thought I'd give it a go!
March 15, 20168 yr Ginormous. I could not spot a mechanism for slewing. Without slewing the whole machine would have to move back and forth in order to mine material from a slope.
March 15, 20168 yr Author Ginormous. I could not spot a mechanism for slewing. Without slewing the whole machine would have to move back and forth in order to mine material from a slope. Alas, you have found my biggest regret in the model! I would have loved to have slewing action but I was pushed for time. The major difficulties I encountered were the large weaknesses in the turntable joints. Thinking about it now, I could of had it pivot on a turntable and have weight bearing on a wheel system or slider surrounding the turntable. The undercarriage has a subtractor in it so I sacrificed speed and power for percussion on the spot turning.
March 15, 20168 yr I wonder if its possible to add a heated middle section so it can continuously deliver pop-corn during movie time
