MOLTOX - MOLE DRILLER

MOLTOX is back bigger! Introducing the MOLE DRILLER, its function to bore through unbreakable minerals and rock with its massive drill head.

 

On the open roads of Mare Serenitatis, a heavily travelled route sits the Serenitatis Quarry in the centre of the Mare which has concentrated veins of crimson Zircon crystal deposits. Zircon crystals are highly sought after and heavily used in manufacturing equipment ranging from lasers to optics. Its large formations are hard to mine and require specialized machinery.

* After making the Carbide Driller I just thought of a use for the hero factory spike ball piece as a drill bit and it turned out amazing. Then the shape of the driller had to be like a star nosed mole just cus of the spike ball matches it's nose. For the canopy I do enjoy using flextube but this build was perfect for the power miners roll cage.

 

* I am also surprised with Stud.io's rendering engine. The crystal formation reflectiveness and clarity is pretty lifelike. I only had to do minor adjustments in photoshop.

 

* Here's the link to download the custom 1x1 octagon vent tile at the front of the drill in .OBJ
