I haven't posted anything in 3 months, so Here are some new items. Sorry if
they are poor in quality but no one has ever been able to teach me how to take
good pictures. Soon there will be more of everything created thusfar. I will
probably hire someone else to take the pictures!
Think of these as unintentional teasers.

Nathan Bell-
I just saw your excavator, and it looks good! Great way to use the Mindstorms
treads. Plus the rear engine is a nice addition; it gives it a bit of realism.
Other things I like about your creation are:
1) The use of pneumatics
2) The color scheme
3) The pistons being double-acting (unlike some of the newer lego technic models
coming out later this year)
4) The red truck lowboy is a nice carrier too!

Hi Nathan,
Congratulation to your great model(s), I really like the excavator with all its
pneumatic, I hope I manage to built an excavator some day. The lowloader is
great too, I guess the vehicles are great playing with. I havent seen those
tracks before, where did you get them, (I have only seen the short version).
Regarding the photografy: Light is essential, try to put some more light on,
from lamps, or even better, take the models outside, that will improve the
pictures a lot. Try also to use a stand for the camera, to avoid shaking.
Best regards from Denmark,

Yes, are these tracks still available, and from where? And, if they are
available, are they sold in the U.S., or are they from a different country? I
know there are some things that can no longer be purchased in the U.S., like the
Scout/SDK package, but are still popular overseas.

One good source for these tracks is the Tonka toy company. They make several
bulldozer models that are fairly good size. I assume they can be ordered
overseas. Another good source for tracks are Remote-control toys. Many of them
have tracks like that.
One thing you should know- rubber tracks exert a lot of friction- especially
when steering. They are not as ideal as TLC’s bulldozer tracks, but much more
affordable. The only reason I dont use TLC’s track is the price.
