So you _want_ a list of the bugs and errors? :)

I've fixed the errors but now I have a very boring front. I may move the
grill to the sides.

1) Front grille too close to gears, as already mentioned. I used a
4215 1 x 4 x 3 panel instead - with a snow flake print of course .)
2) Top plate in front to low, get's in contact with gears
3) Blade seems one stud too wide between the mounts, the rack pieces
is bent inwards

You've used a grey peg instead of a 4L axle. I noticed in your photo. See
the updated dat. You've probably built the mounts 1L to far in or the blade
is the wrong width, it should be an odd width.

4) One 1 x 4 brick on each side in the lower back is mounted in the
same space as the z24 crown gears that mesh with the drive motors, had
to move them out one stud.

Mistake.

5) Uses _way_ too much yellow .) Do all pieces really exist in that
color?

It's only as yellow as yours is white :)

6) DAT-file misses a few pieces here and there, like the pins with
cross axle for the z8 gears in the drive train (neat design BTW) and
the holder for the blade up/down 1 x 2 brick with hole. Also misses a
couple of technic cross axles etc. etc.

Laziness.

7) There is a hole in the bodywork on the lower sides of the "engine"
sompartment - or it was my mistake?

Slopiness.

8) The drive motors don't fit on the bricks specified in the DAT-file

Misalignment in the dat, also fixed.


Should I go on? LOL! Don't remember anything else at the moment :)

No, No more :)

I was going for a sort of executive toy feel so people could run it round
their desks or across their carpets, bulldozing things.

Yep! It would be a perfect office toy :))

Really chuffed Steve

*takes a peek in my dictionary*

Hmmm, I do hope you mean the "really happy" approach on chuffed :))

Yes it does.

You've also missed off the most important part. There should be a 1x1 plate
under the exhaust pipe :)

(...) *smiles* No, the design is brilliant :) (...) Yup, took me something like 30-45 min. to gather the pieces, then I took a brake and made and published the vote page for TMOTM, after that it took me another 120 minutes to build and upload the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
