This could be an amazing training prop

At my home department we were legitimately thinking of this because I built almost 20 of our apparatus already, so I’d really be able to make a scene

Man, this is next level sandbox exercise. You could seriously make a living doing this.

If a pierce tiller is available by commission I may just be in for a retirement gift for my officer.

Out of curiosity how much did this cost for parts? Im averaging about $60-70 a build for parts right now and mine are fairly detailed. But I build In 6 wide scale (I think that’s about 1:40 or so). I can’t imagine how much this cost especially with all the moving parts.

Yeah, it’s a lot. I build in 20 wide, so it’s around 3,500 parts plus 2 BuWizz, sound module, the chromed parts and 5 power functions motors - I figure it’s about 1200$. Though I have to say I reused the BuWizz’s and sound module from a previous MOC
