Hi, i present to you a 0937 comunity project, it´s a gas/oil platform with 1,20mt X 1,20mt and about 2 mt of height.

The structure is very light but stable and very strong, we added 2 nxt to control the 2 cranes, the perforator, and the rescue boats, all movements are automatics with amplitude and timing randoms.

Wow, that is HUGE (Humongous Undertaking with Great Endresult)...

How did you come up with such a crazy plan?

Do you have a video of this thing in action?

The plan come up after a brainstorming, we were thinking about doing something very big in technic with movement and a lot of details and this idea was the one that most appealed to us.

We already made other big construction in technic like a bridge,cranes, buildings, technic trains, but nothing so complex as the platform.

The video will come later, now we are making improvements to the mechanisms.

That's very impressive. How long did it take to plan and build the whole thing? You also said you guys have made previous large constructions. I'd love to see those too :classic:

About 3 years since the first brainstorming, we had some delays with the orders , and we made a smaller project defore we got the parts.

Construction time took us about 2/3 weeks and planing take us much longer.

First project made in 3 weeks by 4 people, this project helped us to define how we would prepare the final structure.

Some big technic project in one of our events (technic train, building, T crane, led street lights, big wheel, etc...):

Are you gonna make building-instructions of it? :laugh:

Yeah, 500 pages of it! :laugh:

In fact i don´t even have the LDD of the total construction because many of the elements were made spontaneously.

It better be able to drill for REAL oil..... to pay for itself :laugh: That thing had to be crazy expensive! Community project as in a community of bank accounts :laugh:.

Terrific job by the whole team. This thing is wonderful.

I missed This beautiful thing earlier.

I love the detail in the structure, most Technic designs have a lot of gabs.

This looks like a Model Team structure with Technic functionality.

Super cool!!!!
