r/PowerMiners

Thanks for all your love on my previous post. Wanted to make a video to show how it works. It’s a bit long and I have no desire to be a YouTube guy but enjoy.

thoughts on this mine mech redesign of the legs, stands taller now, with 2x2 round bottom plates to hide the underside

I used to operate heavy machinery in an open pit coal mine. Shovels were the coolest (though not my favourite to run) and so I made a Power Miners version. I actually did a bunch of Star Wars / mining mashups but the reaction at large was kind of ??? No one really knew what to make of them I guess. But Power Miners was made for this kind of thing! Instructions are on Rebrickable but here’s some photos. Lots of play functions!
