[MOC] Cherry Picker

[Parazels]

Hello. This is my first MOC since 2011.

I was trying to design it as if it were an official Lego set.

Very nice looking and well functional MOC. I love it . I especially like the cherrypicker, it is slim, light and yet stiff. And it is a superb use of these awkward tapered panels.

For a real official model nowadays it has too many functions and details I think. Do you have a partcount?

But AFOLs would smash it because of slowiness :)

Thank you. I don't have instructions, nor a parts list.

Yes, it was my goal - to make the superstructure and boom as slim and simple as possible. Normally those constructions are very messy even in official sets.

What do you mean?

That boom operation is really slow, to be honest.

I agree. An XL actuator would solve the problem, but I don't have one yet.

Also the batteries were slightly uncharged after several previous attempts to take the video.

Hey @Jim...

And using the same avatar pic. He is not even trying.

Edit: after a brief talk, I have given him the (final) benefit of the doubt.

Carry on.
