Re: D11 New Project
 

It turned out nice, I really like the sound very real, so what do you plan to build for the next four years? Can't believe that's how long I've been following this thread!

Re: D11 New Project
 

Thanks,
I can't believe it either :o I thought maybe 6 months :D Nothing more for a while my wife says I have too many and I can only use one at a time :(

Re: D11 New Project
 

Your wife treats you pretty well. :D :p

Re: D11 New Project
 

Your right there Joe, She is fantastic and I am very lucky to be married to her :D:D:D

Hi Guys, Its been a long time coming, here is a video of the dozer running at Our three day Perth Truck and Trailer show. Its a show for the transport industry here in Western Australia. We go in as a display and capture a lot of the crowds attention, TWO years and counting for the next.

Re: D11 New Project
 

Well you finally got one all finished and it looks real great now what about the other 2? Ed

Re: D11 New Project
 

Dozer is running fantastic! :)

Re: D11 New Project
 

Congratulations Paul. :cool:

What did the final weight tally up to?

Re: D11 New Project
 

That moves so sweetly with a push on..... a lot to be said for seeing a model dozer working like that. Very nice. Tell me...in our neck of the woods aussie-kiwi wise, where did you source your bolts from for the track pads????

Hey Glen,
The bolts are from Kunupfer In Germany, but they are not cheap.:(

Re: D11 New Project
 

Thanks Joe,
With the aluminium blade, the weight came down to around 24kg

Re: D11 New Project
 

#2 is on the bench now and hopefully by the end of this week it will also be running although unpainted, #3 also unpainted is ready for internal fitout

Re: D11 New Project
 

Cheers for that, I thought there might be an Australasian source somewhere....I've found a few sellers in Europe now and not toooo badly priced, but the freight is the killer........125 euro for 1kg to NZ...funny joke that! Anyway, Love the D11 mate.....hats off to you!

Re: D11 New Project
 

Hey Glenn,
There maybe a supplier here in Perth waiting on a reply and price.

Re: D11 New Project
 

titandigs-It doesn't matter how long it takes. The final results are what's most important. The dozer looks great and seems to work well. Nice work!!
