Hi again folks,

I've just put my latest creation online, a Technic figure scale
small(ish) excavator. The model is powered by motors and pneumatics, and
there are MPEG videos of it working to download. You can find it here:

Let me know what you think...

Hi Jennifer, that was it we (I) were waiting for!!! LEGO-HIGH-TECHNIC again! Supereb!! I just saw one of the movies - there is hardly no difference to a real moving excavator. Check your snail-mailbox in a couple of days for more inspirations! And (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

Jennifer, Once again you have created a fantastic model and a great web page. Your first two models set a high standard and the excavator continues in that direction. Thank you for sharing your work.

(...) by the amount of attention you've given to functionality, realism, and appearance. Usually, that's a pick-one-or-two sort of proposition, but this combines all three very nicely. Lego should make this into a set. (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

It is hard to comment on your work. The attention to detail in the model and the presentation is so excellent. I enjoy models that "do something". Yours meets and exceeds those expectations. I am sure you are very proud of this project. I certainly (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!! Jennifer, you know I was impressed with the preview. It's even better with the video's. The movement is just great! Think I'll just run to the shop and buy pneumatics now.... Duq "Jennifer Clark" <jen@vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk> (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)

This is simply too great. I'm stunned speechless. It's very inspiring to see the kind of models you've made with LEGO bricks! Fredrik (just spent a week off the Red Sea) (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic)
