How sweet it is when you have all the right tooling & the knowledge to use it to make whatever you want (I have no idea what I am talking about, I just assume it'd be sweet )... looking real good Steve

What's it weight getting to?

I agree steve-your machine work is perfect looking to me. The track (rails?)
look just like a real machine. The details are outstanding. This is probably the most realistic model of a dozer I have seen on this forum. Great work!!

Nice job!!! Looks like you spent many hours on the track parts and drive....wow.....I would have run out of patients long before getting all the track pads on the links!! Lol. Keep up the nice work!!

Like Joe, was just wondering what your weight currently is and what is the approximate total weight when finished? I have the RC4WD Dozer and it is just around 50 lbs, and ripping very hard clay is a challenge, which I like, but yours with all that steel should really dig, if you do add the ripper?

I will add a ripper at some point . It'll be real close to 100# when done .

I assembled them while waiting on tool changes or part switch out on the mill and lathe, so I had some break time in there . Scale is just a hair bigger then 1:12th .
