Well Groomed

As you’d expect, working for a world-famous Lego website means VIP invites, public speaking events, and meetings with top LEGO executives. Therefore being well-groomed is an essential part of the job.

Well, we’d imagine it is anyway. Fortunately we’re not The Brothers Brick and thus we receive precisely none of the above. So we can look like tramps.

But today, and most unusually, we do in fact have a grooming device in TLCB Towers! Because this is a 1:13 scale fully remote controlled Kässbohrer PistenBully 800w snow-groomer, and it’s tremendous.

Constructed by Zeta Racing of Flickr, this incredible creation features no fewer than twelve Power Functions motors, providing remote control to the drive and skid-steering, snow-plough blade elevation, profile and tilt, crane and winch operation, and the remarkably complicated looking, um… grooming thingy on the back.

A piston engine, four sets of LED lights, and superb custom decals also feature, making Zeta’s build one of the most impressive Technic creations of the year so far.

Beautifully presented as well as engineered, there’s much more of this phenomenal model to see at Zeta Racing’s photostream, where over thirty top-quality images are available to view.
