My LEGO model of the Andrew Barclay 1902 'Glenfield No. 1' steam crane tank. The model has 3 motorised functions: drive, slew and lift.

 

This animation was created in Bricklink Studio. The shot was rendered twice; once showing the full model, and secondly showing just the internal mechanism. The two were then combined in video editing software (Vegas Movie Studio).

 

The model is powered by Circuit Cubes, a LEGO-compatible 3rd-party product, designed to be an educational tool. My model particularly uses the Bluetooth cube and 3 'cubit' motors, which are controlled wirelessly from a mobile app.

 

The model also features Big Ben Bricks M wheels, and LEGO metal level-crossing counterweights for stability.
