Very impressive work!

[tracksntreadslou]

Looks awsome Gabreil...Coming along nicely... Looks as though you will be ready for your pump and valves soon..Do you plan to make those as well or purchase ?...Do you ever mess up parts and have to reproduce them?

[gipicarto]

Hi tracks,

I hope to build pump and valves alone but if my job will be too long perhaps I will have to buy it, for the moment.
Until now, thankfully not, I wasted almost nothing ...

Ciao

I am awestruck. That has to be a top build of all time. Any idea of what it will weigh?

[dirtpusher9]

I'm always amazed at your work Gabriele. I was going to run lines like that on my dozer but couldn't figure out just how I would transition to hose but the way you done it is simple. Very nice work as usual.

[woodhog]

words dont even describe your work i wished i had these kind of skills.simply amazing looks extremely nice. what does it weigh?

[Tamiya Cowboy]

this dozer is amaizing in every detail i don't think i would paint anything on it , it is just exceptional work i like this build alot

Any luck we could get the information on the chain that you used for the tracks on your D11R....

[pugs]

Looks like he made the chain from scratch.

[Steelefx4]

I was thinking the same thing...

Hoping for at least the tolerances used in pressing the links and maybe how he milled? the individual links....

Looks great!!!

I saw this build on a different forum and was completely awe struck that it is all manual mill and lathe work. NO CNC at all. I can only imagine the number of hours that are in this build. Very well done, Gabriele! My hat is off to you for your skills that only a few can or could match.

Sitting here in awe of this workmenship.

[gipicarto]

Thanks friends,

almost four year of manual hard work (no CAD, no CNC).
I hope to finish the model before the end of this year.

Bye
