Congratulations on your new child (or is it more like a pet?)!
Despite the fact that you have amazed me to a great extent at no less then five
different occations - I'm stunned!
This exceeds anything I've ever seen done in the field of Technic/Modelteam
previously - really! It pushes the envelope of LEGO construction to it's limits.
It's so obvious from reading your description, looking at the photos and
watching the movies that this MOC is fully developed. There is not much that can
be done to improve on it! The flaws of the model is mostly in the limits of the
brick, such as the somewhat digital behaviour of the pneumatic system. Still,
the model is so well tuned with speed vs. performance that it can be driven
smoothly - even under load!
Watching the "dig a hole"-movie is an eye-opener. Can a MOC out of LEGO really
be *that* realistic!? Sure, the person that drives it in the movie hits the
sticks in the wrong way a few times - still it proves that it can almost be
driven as smooth as hydraulics. Some achievment!
What's most amazing is not the amount of detail or the smooth functions but the
amount of work and persistance that obviously has gone into construction it. And
the well written details, the CAD-renders and the scenery the MOC is presented
in.
Queen of LEGO-gear; I bow humbly before the!
And how hard it might seem now, I'm sure you will continue to improve your own
techniques and make constructions in the future that will surpass this in every
way. But this, this is a milestone!

| (...) Thanks for those comments Tobbe, they are well received since this balance and tuning of which you speak was the main thing I was aiming for with this model.

| (...) Hi Tobbe The functions aren't 'digital like", I know because I too have a digger just like Jennifer's. You can move the sticks slightly and get a proportional output. I built my model to test the dual axis control mechanism I came up with that (...) (20 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic)
