Very erotic! Now I wanna order one as well :D
Although, despite the ingame-model having pin-ended legs, you totally should flesh the pins out.
It screams of sinking into the ground :D

How much would the spidertron cost, did you calculate already?

Hi - Its not a pin in the end. Those are "technic steering CV Joint narrow with 2L axle" (92906). Havent had this part in my fingers ever. They seem to be larger than normal technic pins and I just choose em for the looks. Screeching might be an issue however, good call!

I will keep em for now but if its a thing I might need to convert the legs a bit. I think its possible to stick a bar into an axle hole so mby a round bar connector might fit. Or those "lightbulb" thingies... We will see.

Price is calculated (I just changed some parts a minute ago while doing the instructions, but the difference are just a few cents).
See my last post for the pricetag and check out the difference between blue and pearl gold.

I somehow managed to completely ignore the last sentences of your post, sorry.
Very interesting, looking forward to seeing it assembled.

Made some progress:

Steel furnace is completed - instead of the module slots it got a liitle coal/fuel bunker. Nothing fancy and the overall look didnt really change so no new render.

Completed all Instructions for
- Steel Furnace
- Assembling machine
- Spidertron
- Wodden Chest


created alll other inserter types (to be fair, those are only 3 variations - rest is color)

Reworked the belts as well. Otherwise it looked weird... Shaved off a whole brick from the overall height.
See new model -comparison old/new and with inserter.

Need to work on the splitter next to adapt it to the new belt-model. But then I want to work on something cool again. Thinking about Mech-Armor or the Tank....
