Treasure Finder DIY Oil Rig Kit Mechanical Model
The earth has hidden treasures buried everywhere, none harder to find than those under the sea. Oil rigs find treasure buried deep under the sea. These floating structures resemble small cities on the water, featuring residential buildings, theaters, gymnasiums, and helipads. Their towers shoot up, giving the rig its skyline. The first offshore oil rig was built in the United States in the 1930s. Since then, configurations and technologies have changed significantly, and oil rigs continue growing. Norway has the tallest offshore oil rig platform, at 1,500 feet, which is as high as the famous Pearl of the Orient in Shanghai. An oil rig can drill more than 40,000 feet deep.
These steel monsters are impressive. However, very few people have seen the offshore drilling platform in person.
Metal-Time created the Treasure Finder model to make learning about offshore platforms easy. Assembling this model will be hours of fun, and when you are done, you will feel a great sense of accomplishment. The Treasure Finder models let you add ship and helicopter models, allowing you to build a complete offshore oil rig mockup on your desk.

Treasure Finder is equipped with mechanisms that bring the platform to life.
The Treasure Finder is a real challenge to your mindfulness and patience. This project requires a thorough examination of many details. For example, a tower, a crane, production and living quarters, a helipad, and mechanisms that control parts of the structure’s motion must be assembled by hand and made to work correctly. However, you will get stunning results after a few days of immersion in technical creativity. Treasure Finder is equipped with mechanisms that bring the platform to life. For example, the winding spring mechanism makes the crane turn. At the same time, the gear system is visible, celebrating visual movement.
