Nice work on this MONSTER

Be careful or you will smash your house .

That's a very original MOC. I love it!

The different techniques (PF, pneumatics, etc) are nice!

Is this model based on a real drill or is it more like a fantasy based drill, you would see in an action movie?

[Rishab N]

Wow this is impressive!

[grum64]

Astounding! Simply Astounding!

[Lakop]

A great build! I like that you've thrown everything into it and not held back, then went one step further and made it remote control.

Thanks all!!!

I started with a study of real machines like this:

This is not a scale model, but the main functions are realized.

First time i've seen a technic tunneler so good job there only thing I don't like is the drill it looks odd.

[skriblez]

Cool moc. New idea for a technic set :)

[EyesOnly]

Wow that is impressive. Monster is a correct word not meant as an insult because that is surely something i wouldn't want to meet. Then again i don't hang around in places were tunnelling is being performed. I thought all tunnelling machines was those giant snakelike thing but apparently smaller versions exist.

[timslegos]

That is one MASSIVE machine. Nice job keeping it all together and working!

when i saw the topic's title i hoped for something like that

and i haven't been disappointed!

this is truly amazing :D

[paul_delahaye]

I think you need to put it to use on a sheet of Polystyrene with a video for full effect

It's a beast

[kabelbinder]

Cool and very big MOC! I like the combination of PF and pneumatics.

[D3K]

It's not very pretty, but then again neither is the real thing!

Overall I absolutely like it! You have realized all the functions and then some, and created something truly unique!

Great work! :thumbup:

[Doc_Brown]

What a huge beast! Great job! :thumbup:

i would love to see a video of it attacking some florist foam.

[weavil]

Holy cow!!! That is a lot of lego. How long to build? I see it as the 2014 flagship model!

[Lost_In_Noise]

Excellent model. The video is also very good, despite the poor lightning conditions. It's truly an amazing machine you have constructed. I didn't notice until near the end that you had also included a compressor and pneumatics. Thanks for sharing!

[Foggy]

Amazing thing! How long did it take to buid it? Did you create an LDD file before or build it direct? Compliments again!!!

[Kwon]

H....uge

[KirTech LAB]

Thanks!!!

It took me about two weeks. It was very interesting for me to construct really working feeder and to mount rotation part on the chassis!

I didn't use LDD - only some outlines on paper.

Only TWO weeks?

This is impressive, man. I love it!
