This is very impressive work, Peter! :wow: :wow: :wow:

It is very swift in action :yup:

Imagine if you could combine your hydraulics system with an RC system to drive the machine :!:

Damo :)

You've broken new ground there in Playmobil custom work, Peter.

I've been searching this post for half an hour, but found it. In light of my interest in construction, I suddenly remembered this post and searched the forum.

Seems A long time ago that last post, time flies.

Check noodwachter72 on youtube, he also found a way to make the cabin of the excavator turn...brilliant!

I have to try and make this too, I guess you just have to put the syringes in the right place put in some water and with a tube you can pump the water in an out using another syringe or some other "pump".

There are a couple of different pump types Playmobil has made, the water ones for the fire fighting theme and the air ones for the submarines. Maybe an adapted fire one would work.

Good thinking! I dont have the fire fighting theme one, but i do have the submarine pump. Guess I just must give it a try sometime...
