Millennium Place, 1K YT Subs Special – Micropolis Block #175

Monday, 16th March 2020 By Caz

My channel reached an amazing milestone last Friday – 1000 Subscribers! That’s more than my wildest dreams when I first started uploading videos in July 2018. And I would like to thank each and every one of my viewers for their loyalty and great feedback! I was inspired to build this new Micropolis block called Millennium Place, which has a footprint in the shape of 1000 when seen from above. Let’s have a closer look from all sides.

GBC: Lift & ZigZag

Saturday, 6th January 2018 By Caz

The GBC test day in Caterham went well, and while the Big Bird was being tested, Alistair and I managed to put together another module with the Technic bits I had taken with us. The conveyor is a straight lift from the Bucket Wheel Excavator, with some pins stuck in at regular intervals. The ZigZag ramps were again built from BWE bits, the siding plates from another conveyor forming the bottom surface. I’m quite pleased how these turned out too.

When I got home I made a little video of my two modules running together:

Technic: Bucket Wheel Excavator (42055) – Part 4

Saturday, 30th December 2017 By Caz

Time for another final hit at the Bucket Wheel Excavator (42055) set. Bags 7 & 8 produced the final pieces to finish the model.

And after more hard work, here it is!

I wasn’t expecting the finished thing to be so huge. It barely fitted on my white photographic background foam board!

And of course, it is motorised, so here’s a quick video showing it in action. The forwards/backwards motion is VERY slow because the thing is so damned heavy, but the conveyors tip rubble into the truck quite quickly.
