No no no that needs to go into the Cat museum, if there is such a thing.

If you were to dub in Cat recordings, you'd fool a lot of people!! That's the most realistic model I've ever seen! Does the weather cap work on the pipe? If you propped it open it would be even more difficult to figure it out.

 

[tippatone]

I could watch that video all day. It looks so real, the only thing missing is the sound of the motor. Great work!!

 

[dirtpusher9]

Thanks for looking guys. The weather cap does work. It was built in mind of having a smoker installed, but haven't seen one yet that will put out like I need.

WOW!!!

I just watched all 5 of the YouTube videos, and I am very impressed at the work you have done, both in the build, and in the operation. With the tinted glass so you can't see the lack of an operator in there, it would pass as the real deal if it just had some engine noise. the growl of the motors is almost enough though. Sounds much like a 9 backing up a steep slope, struggling a bit.

Did you find an answer yet to the popping tracks? It seems the sprocket is packing some, with the small teeth. Hard to prevent in the red soil you have there.

I've been looking forward to the completion since your first post, and you did not disappoint.

 

[dirtpusher9]

Thanks for the kind words.
The popping was because I had the tracks too tight, Jerry. The day before the video, I tightened them up and got a little carried away.lol It's all taken care of now. Thanks again.

 

[PipeLayer]

Great job. The videos are amazing.

 

[dirtpusher9]

Great job. The videos are amazing.

Thank you sir. Hope to have some new videos up soon.

 

[dirtpusher9]

Here's a NEW video. Some shots of the detail.

[Steve Frazier]

That is absolutely amazing!!! I'd love to see someone dub in some real Cat noise over the video, no one would know the difference!! I can't get over the detail, the oil residue on the fill neck of that one tank and the one roller being off color are great touches. I just can't come up with words for how impressed I am. I used to model trucks from kits when I was younger, this is just amazing.

 

[JDOFMEMI]

It just looks better and better the more I see. Like Steve says, a bit of a soundtrack and no one could tell it was not full size.

 

[dirtpusher9]

Thank you men. Here is another video that was made when the track was still popping, but I think it is a good one.

Steve for you and Jerry I've left a little to the imagination. lol

 

[tippatone]

That is some great stuff, you are a true artist, keep doing it, it's awesome to watch
