That was an accident, in the dat they are grey and black but POVRAY colours
them in yellow for some reason. There almost fully covered up now.

Did you specify the color in LDRAW? I've noticed that some elements
cant change color since the colors are specified in the elements
dat-file. Perhaps POVRAY can use the user-selected color. If you for
example had a yellow brick selected when adding the motors they would
probably show up gray but be specified as yellow?

I looked at the motor in the dat and it was just as you described, I've
changed them all to grey so it's fixed now even the one you can't see :-).

After yesterdays post I carried on with it and finished the bodywork.

I saw that pic prior to posting, the motor is still visible though .)

Yes you can see it but I'm gonna leave it like that.

Nice work! How much can it pull? *smiles*

You mean PUSH :-), I ought to know really shouldn't I, I mght test it.

Depends on what direction you're driving in :) BTW a bulldozer is
often used to pull out big logs etc. when killing the rainforest. Also
they have some kind of plow that is driven into the ground on the back
of the bulldozer, hence it's pulling :)

The device you mention is called a ripper, I think there used more on larger
dozers not a small one like mine. Sometimes they have a winch instead so
that really would be a pull.
