Jennifer Clark's excavator had a electric compressor built into it.

Its very small also it needs a longer ambilocal.

Looks nice, though I have to agree that the 'remote' needs to be on a longer piece of tubing. As it stands it's hard to tell if it's really motorised or just being pushed by hand.

Short tubing qa is or longer tubing, its still cute.

Looks really nice, and as with my youngest daughter, seems you still need to teach it to not spill it's 'food'

Great looking excavater, only thing i do not really like is the attached control unit, but overall very nice MOC
