Mocburiku Excavator 3D Wooden Puzzle is a 1:18 scale wooden excavator with a geared cockpit and arm that rotate through 360 degrees and a pull-back motor that drives it on rubber tires.

Why it is listed here

Vehicle puzzles are often display-only, while this one rolls under its own pull-back power, up to a listed 20 feet. The geared 360-degree rotation gives it a working mechanism on top of the excavator shape. At 177 pieces and about 3-4 hours, it is a short project that the listing rates as fine for beginners.

What the build involves

Buy glue before you start, because the listing says glue is required and not included. Keep glue away from the gears and the pull-back motor so they turn freely. If you want a custom finish, the listing suggests painting or staining the poplar parts.
