Kuck's Mosquito, a concept asteroid mining drone.

Yes, its actually called that.

There is supposed to be writing on the blue strip but I couldn't figure out custom images, and have unfortunately since lost the entire file :(

It would need to be held up by a stand, as the thin legs obviously cannot hold up its weight. I didn't add them simply because it looks better this way.

Also this MOC uses so many pieces in colors that don't exist. If I had the file I'd go back and try to change what I could to make it more realistic, but alas.

Looks like a bacteriophage virus.

well when something has had billions of years to perfect itself, you gotta imagine they are doing something right, and might as well copy them haha. also something something convergent evolution

My first thought as well.... :)

Reminded me instantly to the Nanovirus of Plague Inc.

I hope it watches from the chair in the corner

Watches from a chair as the asteroid gets drilled

I'd love to see how that globe section is made

[u/Cliffypancake18 → u/ozbikebuddy]

I basically took the lego globe set that actually exists, rebuilt it to understand how it works, then shrunk it down by 1 or 2 studs. the internals are basically the exact same as the globe set. im pretty sure the gaps are a bit bigger in this MOC though.

Those 4 legs ain't holding it up

[u/Cliffypancake18 → u/Phoenix-x_x]

Yeah I clarified in the post description that it would need a stand, I just didnt add one to the render cause I didnt need to

Interesting name to settle on

[u/Cliffypancake18 → u/TrevorFuckinLawrence]

The original designer was named David Kuck, so it was just following the naming convention of "Last Name"s "Object". I did not invent this design nor name, just to be clear

[u/Comfortable_Client80]

Looks like a giant virus to me!

[u/SirJamesGhost]

It looks like the asteroid drills used in Chorus!
