Simply amazing craftmanship!
When Its all finished, it looks like you could actually go out and put in a new garden. Very cool.

Yes, that´s what I intend to do, destroy (I say remake to my wife) the garden.

Did get the front doors installed, the work like the real ones, will use doors to start engine.


The door handle will also work

I am constantly amazed at the detail you have put into this dozer.

Anyone who wants to seed a work of art needs to spend an hour looking through the build as documented in his link back in post 46. It is worth the time. Simply amazing.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the comments !
The register is not open all the time due to junk mail.
Try at different times, looks like open today, atleast one new member.
looking at different treads should be open for non-member to.

A question... I followed this story (because that is what it has became to me.. a wonderful story) here and then it moved to the RC Truck and Construction Forums.. There it seems to have stalled.. Does anybody know of a continuation thread ..and more important is the builder OK..
I apologize for asking here but I can't register for some reason in the RCTandC forums.. I have tried several times and never get the conformation email and all threads are locked to posting..

Hi everyone, yes I´m fine but modeling has been slow during summer time.
Will start up again within 1 or 2 weeks with dismantling the machine and starting to finish all parts before reassemble it.
Still hope to get it running during next year.
I did stop posting progress here due to problem with pictures handling.
I know there was some spam problem at RCT, they had to limit the access, but try again!

Thanks again for the concern,
Dan
