Submitted for your approval, a MOC that’s been around for a while, but never
posted:
Originally built for Scibrick displays last November, the drill was never in my
possesion long enough for photography. I’ve had it for about 4 months now, and
here we are.
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.
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.
As always, PLMKWYT - I live for your approval.

| (...) I like the extending drill. I think it's a pretty good design, and it incorporates more playability than Fradel's mom. -Dan Rubin (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
