This this is huge and incredibly detailed.

Coke can for scale

Not only does the wheel and conveyor belts move on their own, but the arm rotates and it creeps forward and backward! It is excruciatingly slow, but the Bagger 288 isn’t exactly known to be a speed demon either.

I almost want another one so I can build that aggregate processing plant.

The way the shadows looked in the first image, I thought you actually poured sand on your carpet at first glance.

I was like, YOU BARBARIAN.

You’re forgetting that I have a deeply unhealthy obsession with Legos.

The most important question: what did you watch while you made it?

Honestly I don’t think I would have the dedication to finish the excavator.

I finished mine yesterday. It’s a big ass model. I need to go back through and loosen some stuff up, my bucket wheel hangs up occasionally, I think on the little wheels that keep it aligned on the gears that run it.

I think my favorite bit is the mechanism that lets the lower conveyor either swing totally free or lock position to either the bucket wheel OR the base.
