Victor Imaginator Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 A week ago i came to my kitchen for coffee and smoke, and start connecting lego pieces... as usual. But i don't stop after 5 minutes as usual, but sit there for a hour. I enjoyed the result and left it at the kitchen. After few days i found that everyone is attracted by it, they just came to kitchen, take this tiny excavator and start playing with it) Including my father) So, i decided to share this small MOC, and make an instructions. Maybe someone find it useful somehow. It's my first instructions, so any critics are welcome. Excavator can drive forvard and back, superstructure is rotating and arm with bucket may dig something if you wish. Instructions: http://www.mediafire...nstructions.pdf Quote
Milan Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 You are prepared for some future "50 pieces or less" contest :) Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 I think, i'm not prepared( I used about 130 parts Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks) Really, i don't think it deserves HoF, nothing extraordinary here) Quote
Chade Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 This is great! I hope you put it on rebrickable. I can't access the pdf though, it says it's invalid on my tablet. Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 So... now i have account on rebrickable) Link: http://rebrickable.c.../tiny-excavator And Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHskhrk3Vq Will be nice to look at this in other colors, if someone will make it) Quote
MaxSupercars Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Hmm small and sweet... but proportions of arm sections are not the best... I would not force use the 3-7 liftarms... maybe combination of half liftarms... and I would use only small wheels... but it's nice... :) Max... Edited August 11, 2015 by MaxSupercars Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks) Another time i'll remake it with proper arm geometry, and 8 of that gray bevel gears (have ony 7 at this moment). Quote
MaxSupercars Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) :) When I am looking on that yellow 4L half liftarm at the beginning of the arm near cabin, if we take out the red 2L axle, we can manipulate with the middle section of arm... then we can use the tan friction less long pin... :) Max...

Victor Imaginator Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 We can manipulate middle section, orange beam not secured in this position, friction pin just hold arm, but you can move it. ...Another idea - i can use small LA instead of yellow arm part. It will be fun, and i will redesign whole thing that way) Quote
Technic Jim Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) And i will redesign whole thing that way Please do but if you don't I'm sure someone else will develop this awesome build anyway. Keep up the good work Edited August 11, 2015 by Technic Jim Quote
