PROTOTYPE HISTORY
The invention of mechanisms has always been aimed to facilitate human labor. Therefore, in the era of large-scale construction in the 15-16 centuries, an earth-moving machine could not but appear. It was invented by Leonardo da Vinci.
But the first excavator appeared only after 500 years. The conventional boom and the bucket machine was invented by William Otis. Since then, technology has come a long way, but the form and functionality of excavators have not changed conceptually. This is all the same combination of a crane and a bucket (shovel) for moving soil.
Now earthen machines have many varieties and purposes. They perform their tasks on the surface of the earth, underground, and even underwater. Excavators have become one of the main helpers of people on the planet.
The “Tireless Digger” self-assembly model has become a continuation of the collection of heavy special equipment in the “Metal Time” DIY kits.
The excavator is a complex and spectacular machine that deserves its place among the collection of models in your home. Therefore, our engineers made it very realistic and functional. After assembly, which is a challenging and interesting process, the excavator model is even capable of digging soft soil such as sand. True, this can only be done by manually operating the boom and bucket. And the “Tireless Digger” moves on a caterpillar track independently with the help of a winding mechanism.
The reliability of the details of the model, the presence of a spring winding mechanism, and a lot of components make the assembly of this model an interesting task with a consistently wonderful result.
Features
The “Tireless Digger” model has most of the common parts of a real excavator. The designers tried to transfer even the smallest features of the car to the scale model, such as, for example, a shovel on the side of the engine compartment.
The design allows the components of the boom and bucket to move in the same plane, and the rotating cabin gives them another plane for moving.
Realistic caterpillars move due to rotating wheels connected to a winding mechanism, which also needs to be assembled by your hands.
A lot of details and the complexity of the model and mechanism will make you spend more than one hour in the assembly process. But as a result, you get an amazing model that can be used in completely different ways - both as an exhibition piece and as a child's toy.
