Great job on the article. I really like to see my fellow modelers get some recognition! You did a fantastic job on it and you deserve the attention!
Oh, and after reading the article I now know what the 3D printed tire piece on your bench is for  . |
Thanks Reg, from the responses i got from the Cat rep it didnt sound threatening in anyway, haha. They were more complimentary and said the dozer arcticle was being passed around though the office emails. I did mention to them about the growth and interest in the hobby, and we would love to see something produced in the future that would relate to this hobby.
But it didnt sound like its anything they had ever considered. I did share some info on my Vario Ex as well to give a better idea of the more complex and expensive models out there. Of course the rep was impressed. The full hydraulic machines are no doubt the crown jewels.
The piece on the bench..Yes you have a good eye! Been working on a few designs. Still doing some research on that.
Thanks again for the support.
