Bridge launcher "Panzerschnellbrücke Biber"

[efferman]

Found on Brickshelf and youtube

i have not often seen a bridge launching tank made of lego, and mahjigas bridgelauncher was something completely different. so i must say this "panzerschnellbrücke Biber" is a masterpiece.

Nice find! I always admired Mahjqa's green-and-orange Stilzkin Bridge Launcher (seen in the

and composite picture below), but there's always room for another interpretation like Itchy4000's grey bridge launcher.

Itchy4000's YouTube video in efferman's post above is the "long version" -- below is a

of that same MOC:

When i saw the grey bridge layer i was fascinated! I have seen that type of mechanism before but i never thought it would be possible in Lego, very impressive.

This is perfectly awesome.

These are some of the best lego technic engineering projects i've seen so far. I watched a video of a real bridge builder and these models are realistic.

Is the Stilzkin Bridge Launcher a fictitious vehicle or exist a real example for it?

[DLuders]

Mahjqa invented the name of his "Stilzkin" brand of bridge launchers, since it sounds cool!

[jorgeopesi]

One more from Sheepo.

I like all the bridges launchers

But the one from Mahjqa the most, it's almost direct comes from the thunderbirds

[Lakop]

I agree with VFracingteam.

Love all featured video! Hope Lego will start their tank series!

Thanks! :)

I have to admit I prefer the Biber one. It looks the most like the thing I'm known to, both in looks and functions (although I know Armoured Vehicle-Launched Bridges excist using the way Mahjqa did).

This model makes my mind blow out. Amazing piece of engineering.

Amazing models!

In Itchy's Panzerschnellbrücke Biber, he says he uses two large motors. I look on the Lego site but I do not see them selling them. How do people get these motors? Do they have to buy a whole set to get a motor, because I know the crawler has the motor in it? Do they get it from an online parts store? Any help is appreciated, I would love to have a couple of these motors. Thanks all.

Just use http://www.bricklink.com , you can find all or almost all needed parts over there.

Zux, just because Bricklink contains a lot of parts, doesn't mean it has every piece. I already looked there but there is no motor of this kind. Look at the site before you post something, Zux.

Hey there, Bricklink isn't that straightforward to understand website. If you use some search magic, you may find list of L motors for sale. Just use Catalog > Parts > Electric, Motor for other types of electric motors.

Astounding!!!

Thanks for bumping this thread matthewclso

I hadn't seen the "panzerschnellbrücke Biber" before, and I truly am amazed. This is a great feet of engineering!

It makes me want to build one of my own. I would however make it semi-automatic with an old Mindstorm RCX brick... A great project, but we will have to see if I can find the time...

All bridge lanchers are very awesome. (minus mine )
