This moc has a certain quiet dignity, like a WW2 British war widow.

This was built with playability in mind. The cabin is composed mostly of
old-style hinge 4x4 plates, which can be
flipped open for
fig-manipulation. The boom raises into place, and the drill shaft can
extend a bit, about
1.5x the height of the cabin.

Very playable indeed, lots of moving parts to increas replay value. Also a nice
assortment of potential weapons clipped to the cab for the more violent minded.
The drill is where the money is, and it has an impressive reach. The interior
was pretty standard fare, but solid.

In most mining & exploration activities, earthbound or not, various drills
are used for core sampling & production blasting.
Here we see the
drill chipping away at Teddy Welsh’s Lunar Cheese Mine, which proves that
cutting the cheese doesn’t always involve explosions.
|
Mining for Teddy’s cheese....I take back the whole thing about quiet dignity.
But I do find this moc an enjoyable summer thrill-ride that blew me through the
back-wall of the theater. Nice MOC, Mr. Nick.

As always, PLMKWYT - I live for your approval.

I think that this is good enough to be an official lego kit...hours of fun for
the entire family. Although it should come with 2 minifigs and some kind of
encarceration unit.
