I reckon one should be done, but I thought 6 months would have been enough time. (Shows you how much I know)
Send me a pm when your coming, even if one is not complete you can come and have a look anyway

I think you should be very pleased and proud of these dozers. You are doing what most just dream of. Workmanship on these vehicles is top notch.

Thanks Ed, This is #1 ready for tin work and fitting of internals.
#2 is rolling no hydraulics.
#3 can roll ( the drive motors are fitted) but is last on the list.
Once #1 is running and tested more work will start on the other two, all of the hydraulics for the three are here, I think one more speed controller and a couple of transmitters, but just in those few things are $$$$$ and the extra time will allow more time to save and test (play) with #1.

Thank you very much, as you have seen in the build thread photos there are a few different people in the photos doing different things to make these machines come together,(Robert, Mark, Alex, George and Myself) I will pass on your kind words.

I wonder what IT(for me) or design fairs(for the missus) are on in Europe around that time... I feel the need for some "research" into European practices... With a modelling sideline, and a trip to Italy (I am a sucker for an Italian sports car or two).

Flight time from Sydney... A similar 20+ hrs...

Ouch.

Hey Andrew,
If you get the missus interested in these shows in Florence we might see you in Germany in November?

5 Trade Fairs in Florence from November 2014
Exhibition calendar with currently 5 trade fairs from November 2014 in Florence. The most common types of trade fairs in Florence are Textiles, Fashion and Clothing Industry. In addition to the current trade fairs, Sights & Attractions in Florence can also be visited.

After Friedrichshafen my Wife and I will be going to tour around Switzerland, Italy, France, Austria and Germany.
Who else is going to Fiedrichshafen in Germany November 2014???

From memory its about 425mm wide but need to confirm that.

And yes thongs (or so called Chinese safety boots) in a metal shop, after spending all week in boots its good to have the feet out
Oh and the beach is only about 15mins away
I have now set up a transmitter to enable it to drive and have all of the Hydraulics working, so if there is no work this weekend there maybe a chance to put in the dirt and work it, (fingers crossed)

Joe, When I first read thongs I thought maybe I had missed a picture where he was bent over showing a lot more than just a plumbers crack. Then I realised you were referring to his choice in footware. Us southern folks call those flip flops. For a split second I was afraid this thread had taken a turn to the kinky side.
