Very nice, especially the background! I’m not normally very attracted to cad
images but you’ve done a great job with these and the model is strong enough to
overcome the medium ; )
Thanks for sharing and God Bless,

Hello All.
This is my first post, so if this is the wrong forum, please direct me to a more
appropriate one and I'll stay out of your hair.
I have an uncle who purchased himself a Mastercraft boat for his 50th birthday.
As a present for him, I'd like to commission a custom-made Lego built replica of
his new boat. I wasn't sure where to find someone qualified to do it, but I
decided to start here.
I wanted to know if there was anyone out there qualified, or knew of anyone
qualified to help me with this. We will pay (obviously) for your time, effort,
and for whatever bricks you use for the project. His birthday isn't for a month,
but we'd like to get it done sooner rather than later.
Please let me know if you can be of any assistance.
Thanks!

Hallo Dennis
Your new dozer is really great, you realised some good details. First the
tracks, with the tiles, looks really good. Also backside you make good work. And
of course best for me, this modell is functionally. How i can understand on your
website, you can also control the blade with the help of one Lego-motor, yes?
This Cat in this real area (on your pictures) is just fun!
Kind regards from switzerland

Before we even know LEGO would release it’s own radio controlled bulldozer I

I just wanted to let you know I put the full description of this model on my
website. It took a while before I finished it but hopefully there will be some
readers :-)

You sure fit a lot of detail into a small scale! I have never seen rig with
fenders that flip out like that before and at first wondered if you did that
just on your model. However a very brief internet search showed me the
truth:

Are they like that just to make room for the mechanic or are they a braking
mechanism? (That may sound crazy but jets do it; why not trucks, too?)

As cool as that would be, thats not it :-) I didn’t do a real good job
explaining, but they are actually staircases for the driver or passenger to get
into the cab. You can see a picture here:

Thats one of the reasons I figured I would build an Argosy, truckers seem to
like how easy it is to get in and out. And who doesn’t like pneumatics, anyway?

Hi All
Last May I was lacking a Lego project, and so decided to build a truck
following the model team style. Deviating from model team, it had to be fully

I’m also proud to present my blog about it, which probably goes into way too
much detail, but what the heck: projectArgosy.blogspot.com Quote from the
blog:
“For those of you knew to the model, its a fully functional Freightliner
Argosy cab-over-engine Tractor Trailer. This includes Forward/Reverse, two
speed gearbox, 40° full Ackerman steering with suspension, LED headlights,
air compressor, pneumatic steps, and tilting cab! It was started May 2006,
taking coutless hours to complete. I brought it to Brickfest 2007, and
promised the folks there I would update the blog soon, so here goes!”
