It’s surely only a matter of time before we get walkers everywhere, right? Not the militarised type that you might be familiar with from other LEGO sci-fi builds. I’m talking about the more day-to-day tasks that they would be helpful with – like logging. David Roberts knows what I mean. He’s given us a neat brick-built vision of the future of forestry. Despite its clear futuristic tech, there’s plenty here for us mere present-dwellers to latch on to. There’s the Claas livery, of course, but that arm is also inspired by real-life manipulators (and is a great likeness for them, too). The shaping of the machine is also reminiscent of some modern heavy machinery. You know, apart from the legs.

The most helpful farm insect
What is your favorite farm animal? Cows and horses are great, but what about scorpions? Forget those venomous insects and meet advanced CLAAS telehandlers designed for all types of work around the farm. Michał Skorupka built a very nice-looking copy of CLAAS Scorpion 756. Although the LEGO version of the model is very compact, it carries a full set of Power Function motors enabling driving, steering using both axles, and a fully functional telescopic arm.
What I love the most about farm vehicles like this one is their ability to be easily equipped with dozens of custom devices. Michał uses a very simple locking mechanism allowing to replace an attachment in no time.
To enjoy the model in action, make sure to check out a video covering all of its functions.
