Nope, it was right as home!

Some things that might put people off;
- We only have so and so much time to read, study and answer to posts
- Your model, although fine, is somewhat simple compared to some of the complex
machinery that get's announced here. This does not mean I did not appriciate
looking at it, but you don't get that many questions from doing so.
- The images are CAD-renders, real photos often generate more interest for some
reason.
- The images are in a multitude of file formats. Please avoid .bmp since they
have a *much* larger file size. Most browsers can't even show them so they must
be downloaded and opened in a separate application!

And do note that the folder has had some 2,700 hits since you made it - that
says a lot!

Don't let the lack of response put you off, it happens a lot I'm afraid. We get
higher and higher expectations and "demands" on models so smaller creations that
don't bring new challenges or unusuall solutions don't get as much response as
they should have or used to.

I usually write to say I like stuff altough it might just be a "Neat!" but
sometimes work get the better of my OnLine time .)


Ah yes.  Thank you for pointing out some of the Cons of the model in it's
current state.  I would love to build it right now, but I don't have much parts
in my lego bin. And with a real model, some things are not possible.  An example
would be the bottom carrier rollers.  I used freestyle type rollers, but i'm
worried there might not be enough space for the studs on the wheel.

But such problems are an entire feat for me, as I do not know enough about
building to use the advantages of bricks.  I would love to fit all the features
into the bulldozer, with swinging track frames at the top of the list.

As for the file size & type, thank you for pointing them out.  I'll replace
them.

Chris
