I like the Technic styling and its sheer size is incredible! Great Work!

Excellent detail! I hope to build either Bagger 288 or 293 in 1/198th Scale someday!

I've seen multiple versions of this machine out of legos. I'm just wondering how one obtains such a large quantity of pieces.

This is a great Lego construction! I am also considering to build one. So I have made some calculations. If a Lego figure is 1:40 and the giant is 96 m height the Lego construction become 2,4m height. So you have to know that this construction is about 3-4 times smaller than a fig scale one. Amazing, but true. In fig scale, even one caterpillar width should be 18 pin (not long). And their are 10 of those monsters in Aussichtspunkt Tagebau (advice see google earth).

Really brilliant. Make a video of it and check out my excavators!

Jeeeee:)

Awesome. Easy, not to kill people.

nice job man

omg dude how did you get all of those peices and crawler tracks that thing is a behemoth!!!!!

IN-CRE-DI-BLE!

WOW!

ssswwwwweeeeettttt man. So huge... that amazing. great job.

Quite the machinery! Good build :)

i like it. we have some of those at the aurora fossil place in the u.s.

nice i could use one of these for my lego mining company

Very,very cool!!!! :)

.....1 word. Speechless.

oh yeah, con you get some pics of the small shelter kind of bit in the middle? I would love to see that!

*blinks twice and dies*

Great Build I like how you made every single bucket instead of using the LEGO buckets with the new farm sets overall 5647582/5 =P ~Nicky B

Wow. Amazing build! How many pieces did you use? The detail is perfect. One of the best on here. Goes good with Construction David's equipment!

on a scale of 1 to 10 it's an 20!!!!!

I've seen this thing before, never imagined it in lego though! Great Job, 5 out of 5!

oh man i wish there was a 5 plus and congrats on MOTD

totally wicked!!!!!

Amazing! Doesn't get any bigger than that!

Why is this only averaging 3 smileys. It's great. And just the size of it is amaing.

This is a Fantastic model with lots of accurate detail and working parts I especially appreciate the work that went into the Cutting wheel. I cant tell from the photos but do you have a working conveyor from the wheel? Keep on building i look forward to seeing more mining machinery. check out the mining equipment on my site If you get a chance.

That thing looks lethal. Like it could rip your face off if it got loose.

fantastic creation!!! i love the wheel. if i had more legos i would build something like that. great job!!

this looks massive, and it is, can it move dirt? really awesome to look at though

why did you only give 2 out of 5. This model is fantastic. The shear size and accuracy of it is amazing. Its a shame you havent got a movie of it on you web site.

Absolutely excellent work! I have seen these machines in action and you have captured them perfectly! WOW! tilt

Wow. I have seen this on the Discovery channel, but somehow putting it in minifig scale makes it look bigger. As for locomotion: have you tried using worm gears to turn the toothed gears?
