Way cool! The Rock Raiders wheels look great on the all-black body.
Are they wheels plastic, or do they have a rubber tread? If they are
plastic, then they may lack a bit traction, but I'm sure it works well
on a carpet, say.
I'm impressed that you managed to build it from my poor instructions.
I've been thinking about redoing the instructions for a while, but
I've been busy building new models in stead! :-) And now that John
Jensen has drawn the bucket in LDraw, all the parts for this vehicle
are soon official, so I don't have any reasons not to redo the
instructions anymore.
It's also cool to see from your images that you've used the lift and
tilt functions of the bucket. I spent two evenings tinkering with a
"draft" for this model before I figured out how to get both functions
so easily available in such a small space. It was also hard to get
the bucket to stay at the same angle when lifting it.
You've probably also noticed a "dirty fact" about this model: If you
turn the top steering wheel one way, the central steering turns the
opposite way! So steering this model around takes some time getting
used to. To be honest, I didn't notice this fault myself until the
model was complete, and I couldn't figure out how to fix the problem
without adding much more structure, which would look bad.
I've added a link to your model from my page here:

I was very happy to see that you built my model, Adam!
