astyanax Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) This is a bit of a documentation of a quest I've been on over the past year. It started in January 2019 with a surprise purchase of set 42055 (Bucket Wheel Excavator) -- my first Lego purchase in 25 years, thus ending my Dark Ages. My local supermarket was selling 42055 at 50% discount in some kind of stock clearance sale. It surprised my wife too, although she soon happily joined in building this mammoth set! A little while later I was doing some Lego "research" and found this very inspiring clip by Yoshihito Isogawa: My new (and only!) Technic set also happened to have quite a few of those "banana gears", so I started thinking... Can I build something like this? And so my first C-model was born a little while later: Since I was (and still am...) a novice builder, my philosophy for building this was to make something so outlandish that no-one would complain that it's ugly! But I'm still chasing the closure of re-building Yoshihito's creation. I've now settled on what I think is a nice design (using Power Functions): I'm waiting for the last missing parts to arrive and will be building it soon! PS: It has a nice little twist... Since RC channels come in even numbers, there's room for a 4th function... Can you guess what it is? Edited May 4, 2020 by astyanax Quote
