Cyberpunk Claw Car - a photo on Flickriver

Cyberpunk Claw Car

I'm excited to be part of the New Hashima City collab, coming to Brickworld Chicago next week. This is my 6th and final car for the freight train that will be running around the docks. I envision it as a futuristic version of a rail crane.

This is loosely based on my original plan for the hopper car, before that went off in a completely different direction. Had I stuck with this design for the hopper it would probably be a bit deeper and not raised so high off the tracks, but otherwise similar, less the arm.

This, like the hopper car, was a stretch goal. While I was mindful of the rapidly approaching deadline with this one, having all my commitments completed I could afford the time to give it some extra attention to detail. As such, these two are my favorites.

The rock star of the hopper car was the new D-SNOT brick, without which some of the geometry would have been very difficult to pull off in a manner sturdy enough to survive constant bouncing around while the train was in motion. I went through something like 90 of them. With this one, it was the humble video camera brick that's been around since the 80s, without which the claw would have been next to impossible.

Thank you Ted Andes for the suggestion of building something robotic as a caboose.
