howitzer Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) 8868 Airtech Claw Rig Shrink factor: 70% Includes all features of the original replicated as faithfully as possible, except motorized compressor (replaced by manual pump as per rules of the contest). I was unable to finish the build properly due to missing parts which I had ordered, so few details are missing, like the horns on the top of the roof and few are coloured wrongly, such as some parts in front mudguards. The features include: - Rack and pinion steering with HOG control - Two rear axles with differentials driving front V6 fake engine - Five pneumatic cylinders, two of which are used for slewing, one for boom, one for jib and one for claw - Aesthetic touches of the original replicated as far as possible given the scale and functions More photos in the wip topic: Edited August 21, 2023 by howitzer
