Micro Tractor

This was a fun little last minute MOC I built for the micro farm I brought to Brickfest.

It took about an hour to build, which included a lot of failed attempts using other building techniques. I was starting to think it would be impossible to build a decent micro tractor at all when I finally hit a couple of eureka moments. I love the feeling when that happens.

Instructions included as well, not that they’re really needed to figure out how to build it.

Enjoy,

J

This is really slick work - some very clever methods are in this micro - well
done!

What's really cool is that there no more than 15 pieces in this, and it gets the
tractor across in a really iconic way.

Great work for an hour :-)!

I may have to borrow that design if I ever make a farm scene, Have to do it in red thou as a red fergie :).

It is so simple and elegant, got to love it, Now all you need to work out is how to make some equipment for it (plow, slasher etc )

That’d be cool. I haven’t tried to build it in alternate colors but looking just now it can be done in red and even dark red.

Yeah, equipment would be cool. It’s been in the back of my mind but so far I haven’t built anything to go with it.

if you think this is good, wait till you see the micro farm surrounding it. jason is modest but it needs to be said. this moc won in the microscale field at brickfest this year. it might take a while for the rest of it to show up here, but it’ll be worth it. excellent work. gotta love eureka, goddess of the brilliant moment!
