[KirTech LAB]

Hello! I’m glad to show my model for [TC17] Technic contest:

The model has 10 RC functions (14 power functions motors and three BuWizz receivers):

- left and right tracks,

- front blade height,

- tail rotor pivot lifting and rotation,

- main and tail rotors rotation,

- cutters rotation,

- wings folding,

- cutting height adjustment.

Watch the video to see the model in action (including zombie army killing :)

Also the model contains power functions and old 9V lights:

The Reaper contains 66 universal joints, total weight – 4,75 kg.

Further you can see my initial WIP topic about model creation:

Hi! I have very bad news for all survived - behind the Great Canyon new danger appeared. When we've found the first zombie, we just think that it's one more strange mutation. Last six months zombies appear more often. Sometimes they can walk, sometimes they are dead. But last week Farmer had found five walking zombies near the Canyon Gate. Vagrants say, that there is a secret laboratory behind the Canyon. Also they say, that army of zombies preparing to attack our colonies. Survived believe, the walls will protect us, but I don't think so. We must survive, so I'll create the machine to fight against zombies.

First of all, I've disassembled my desert barge - it will be the chassis of my machine.

Also, I've ordered new track adapters in the neighbor colony. Theirs Blacksmith can do anything. Of course, the payment was significant - 2l of fuel. But after I've found covered by sand gas station, I can allow it. Fuel and weapon - we have only two currencies. Nobody has weapon in our colony. But nobody knows, that I have one new AK-47 in my secret cellar. For bad times.

To be continued...

I think, sharp blade in the front will be very useful for any post-apocalyptic vehicle :)

Ready to cut :)

Nice zombie harvester. 

I guess if any zombie appears in the Mad Max universe, we're ready now...

Creating a rust. I've never seen brown axis before )

I have one old aircraft engine in my workshop. It looks really bad. I know that Master has three absolutely new engines from military tiltrotor. And he wants my AK-47 for them. Very unfair exchange, but I have no choice. After all, how many zombies can I kill with only one machine gun? I believe in my Reaper!

The topic is updated, and now I have the video :)

Thanks for watching!
