Re: D11 New Project
Paul is not in the commercial market.
But I can tell you there will be two different dozers surfacing soon for the consumer, one in the D11 range & the other a generic D7 or 8, both are hi-tracks... ;) Great work Paul, looking forward to more updates. :cool: |
Re: D11 New Project
Great progress, keep it up! :)
Joe: I also think Premacon is working on a Liebherr dozer as well, so hopefully 3 new on the market then. |
Re: D11 New Project
Its been a while but here is an update, the track links are being changed to look more like 1to 1. Its a lot more work, another 500 pieces:confused:, if you look at the past photos you will see the difference. These three pieces are just for set up. Paul.

Re: D11 New Project
More work this week on the links and side frames, as you can see more detail is coming.

Re: D11 New Project
When you started this project, did you think you might have been done by now? :D

Re: D11 New Project
Hey Joe are you kidding, I thought 6 months would have been enough:cop: Boy was I wrong:( I think the next parts will be the blade, this will be machined out then pressed and the fittings on the back will be welded by TIG

Re: D11 New Project
Oh my, words are just not enough. This is just amazing to see the steps & progress on such a fantastic build x 3.:jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw::jaw:
On the need for a bigger trailer, it would seem only fitting that you build a few Drake units to haul these massive models. Ap40rocktruck |
Re: D11 New Project
Hey Paul Nice work ..I really like the new track lnks ..Having the holes will help with the tapping as well not having blind holes ..did you have to make a jig to do all that drilling ..Well done
|
Re: D11 New Project
Hey Paul,I think i have figured out why you have the undercarriage assembled then take it apart to machine more details!! Its because you are admiring this amazing piece of artwork,and maybe a good paperweight:D Very nice workmanship;)

Re: D11 New Project
This is one killer build! I'm loving the progress! Can't wait for more pics! :D

Re: D11 New Project
Another morning in the works shop and you can now see the side arms are attached, just need to fit some end caps to hold them on. The mockup connection to the blade and a few other things should happen this week.

Re: D11 New Project
A pure work of art! The tracks, track frames, blade arms, and blade look really nice, and it's not even done yet. Looking forward to the updates. Please keep them coming!
