Posted September 29, 201014 yr M-Longer/ M1Longer just created a "Special type of excavator used to build tunnels... It uses 7 remote controlled functions. For more visit: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=446831 [where there are 19 pictures]... The arm can be raised, extended and tilted. The cutting tool is turned on from the cabin." There is a lot of "buzz" about this creation on the LUGPol website (English translation) , where he wrote: "I always wanted to build a functioning excavator. :P Even I found a red Cata 385 to have the opportunity to build a crawler in red: P However, after a closer look at the topic I realized that tracked excavators made of several blocks .. In pneumatics, the cylinders of his own design and screw jacks. And because of this that they do not like to duplicate the patterns started to look for something less exploited. Reviewing Cranes etc one can find many unusual machines. So I just found a special version of the Liebherr R944 , intended, to dig (or rather, scrape) tunnels. "Since the normal version distinguishes him arm, which is unprecedented in most of the tilting mechanism Excavator arm sideways. That's what determined the selection of a model for mapping. And then I started to have problems .... and I'm not talking at all about mechanics. "So far, every machine that had tried to build quite a lot of images available online. Unfortunately, this is a new Liebherr, so his pictures on the net is very little (I've found up to 8, half of which do not show too many details). "The chassis includes three engines, two drive XL tracks, an M is responsible for raising the blade." Recommend visiting the link to the English translation above, or (if you can understand Polish), the original LUGPol post.
September 29, 201014 yr Awesome design idea and implementation! I like the color combination and the fact, there are no visible studs.

September 29, 201014 yr Very nice and very cool! It's very well built and really captures the essence ofthe machine in Lego. I've actually never saw a specific excavator with extendable arm around here (Canada). But the spinning head ("boucharde" in french slang) we use relatively often as a 'quick attach' on large regular excavators, PC-400 or bigger, to 'scrape' and 'smooth' the surfaces of recently blasted surfaces. Now did anybody devised a quick attach system for lego excavators? I suspect the new MiniLAs will be perfectly suited for this.
September 29, 201014 yr 3 kilos ? What is this, a baby ? Amazing model ! Edited September 29, 201014 yr by Plastic Nurak
September 29, 201014 yr Nice... You are faster than me, DLuders ;) This often happens. Anyway, you proved again to be the master in building realistically looking machines. All your loaders, excavators or other machines are just beautiful. Edited September 29, 201014 yr by grohl
