Mining a Subterranean Causeway

[SirNadroj]

Let me start by saying this is not a Power Miners MOC. I just has a lot of lime hanging around, is all!

It started with the birch tree.... not sure how it morphed, but things happen. This is an entry for MECHA Hub's Civilian Mecha contest over at their group on flickr.

"The Geo-Bot 8.9 mines in an underground cavern, which resembles Giant's Causeway. Equipped with heavy armor and drill feet, the Geo-Bot 8.9 can grind up an obtrustive rock formation in its path. Also, it finds companionship in a canary - the mecha's programmers are unsure of the cause of its affection for the avian creature, as robots do not feel. Leading researchers call this phenomenon "heartbyte". Apparently the glitch bites the "heart" - that is, the central memory chip of the metal man. However, the glitch does not affect the mecha's occupation - mining - so he has yet to be thrown into the trash compactor."

Amazing love the tree!

I'm really impressed with this one. You used the dark tan and regular tan well on the bottom creating a really realistic look. The mech is skillfully crafted, and the colors work well. I want to learn how to make those trees; making trees is really hard for me and you do it perfectly. I'm still stunned by your great work.

Very nice. It is not ginormus, but it fits in beautiful details like the tree, good combination of colors, and looks great on display.

I'm really impressed with this one. The colours are blending together perfectly.

And the choice of the parts is also well done.
