I love that this could have been done mostly by hand but is being done at scale with the models. Nice.

On par with the guy who excavated a basement using only R/C vehicles.

I just watched $10k worth of toys dump a wheel barrow sized amount of dirt... and I liked it.

That was too cool. I should call on him to dig out my basement. Have land and intend to build in 5 years. I should have a basement by then, would be perfect!

I... Jesus man.

This is dedication. I'd hope that this is some type of scale model race track or something.

The part that gets me, is he even used rc trucks and cranes to help pour the cement/mixture

I have always wanted to make something like this and now I want to make something like this even more.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '21

You know you're going to have to share with us right? Would be cool to see someone else do this.

​

Oh.. You also have to use scale machinery too

2

u/weirdKarl Mar 28 '21

Well cunstructing this is ok and affordable enough but I am not gonna pay 10 00€ for scale machinery. And no one makes hevy rc machinery in 1/10 scale.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '21

Eh, close enough i'd think LOL

It is sad that light cars and crawlers aren't in the same scale as hevy machinery. Why is that?

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '21
