Thanks again. Actually I almost have no real bricks so this is still render. Forgot to give a link for model on Mecabricks: http://mecabricks.com/en/models/QVzvM3G72Jp [quote name='King_Arthur' timestamp='1471682367' post='2640291'] Which software did you use if I may ask ? [/quote] I use Blender 3D + a bit modified Mecabrick's template for it.

[quote name='kurigan' timestamp='1467171042' post='2598507'] That being said, how would the crew theoretically add additional shafts to the drill as it bore deeper or is the system limited to only the depth of a single section? [/quote] Huh, good question. That problem was a real headache. Most of solutions made this driller to tall. There is a "window" just above the engine for adding new sections. However now I see another variant, a bit more interesting. I'm planning to make some scene to show this moment, but at first I should make some support vechicle. [quote name='snefroe' timestamp='1467183668' post='2598594'] My other questions would be: how is this guy getting into the cockpit? you very often get all sorts of ladders and platforms to get you there. I also wonder how this machine will remain stable on the ground in harsh weather. cheers sne [/quote] Due to extremely low gravitation the real problem is not how get there, but how not to fly away) Leg's feet are supposed to be fixed with some kind of anchors manually.

Thanks everyone. Indeed it took more time as usual to make this MOC. Original concept was a bit uhm... solid(?), and now it looks a bit messy and I don't like it. But I see you do. I think next MOC will appear soon, but I haven't got clear idea what I'm going to build yet. [quote name='Arcquinn' timestamp='1465958673' post='2587566'] I am usually not a steam punk fan. But your design is a candy to the eye ：） [/quote] Uhm, steampunk?..

This is a part of a small future series of MOC's that can be called Astrominers. A realistic point of view to mining in space. This is some kind of mobile drilling platform. Two turnable engines, allow to move back and forward. 3 types of drilling heads are available. Short range and low life support capability means it should work together with lardger ships.

Thanks. May be in nearest future I will remake some other of my walking tanks.

Model on Mecabricks: http://mecabricks.com/en/models/QeDvVJb0vBR I'm planning several MOC's connected to mining in space. It can be called Astromining project. Here is the first one. Small starship with two pilots and many different mineral scaners.

Thanks everyone. There is no usable cockpit, but that orandge hump is supposed to be it. It took about 3 hours to render it on 1400x860. However my PC is quite old. I haven't rendered models with huge ammount of transparent parts, but as I know, they look pretty well.

I'm glad you like it.

Thanks again. May be I'll make something similar in nearest future.
