Sorry for the barrage of questions ...

... still looking for that one RC project other than my tanks and I'm not sure a plain-jane truck will do.

This is one I wouldn't mind owning regardless of the cost.

Cat29, I researched for a year trying to find everything I thought I would need and how I would go about designing things and make it look as real as possible and the big trick was to do all of this without showing any fasteners, everything had to look as scale as could be. When I desided to finnally start I downloaded all the pics that I could find of different angles, then blew up a pic of the Cat D9R out of a Cat brochure to the size I wanted the thing to be (don't think that these are accurate because there not just use it as refrence).It is better to blow up a pic of the actual machine. Then just started cuting and building.(slowly)

Thanks Azonic, yes I did and still will, just no time to play with it. Someone should get some good out of it.
