It’s Technic! It’s Power Functions! It’s Pneumatic! It can smush 17 Elves into The Lego Car Blog carpet in one go! We’re still scraping up and plumping up our flattened workers after some of their colleagues brought this giant machine into the office. It has the perfect blend of Lego features to excite our excitable workers.
Russian builder Desert752 Kirill’s land leviathan looks as though some of his countrymen have put one of their mighty ice-breaking ships onto tracks. Weighing in at 6.9kg, the handle-like gantry in the middle is actually a handle, so that the machine can be carried around. Click this link to MOCpages to see more of this beast, plus diagrams of the pneumatics and drive-train and lists of all of the PF gear that makes it function. There’s also a video of the Arctic Explorer in action.
This thing is just big, but apart from this, the functions are nothing special. Driving and lifting/lowering two devices is almost nothing in such a huge MOC.
The Elves mainly liked the model because of its visual appeal and its ability to smush many multiples of their colleagues. You’re right that it doesn’t have many functions packed inside its huge body. Perhaps this would be more to your liking: http://thelegocarblog.com/2015/03/12/swiss-army-knife/
Yes,this is definitely fully packed with functions. For this reason I like it, but I don’t find it visually appealing.
