It's a little more high-tech looking than what I had originally plannned,

If you think that it looks too high-tech, you might want to try:

-removing the patterned tiles, they definitely look too high-techy.
-removing the train-cabin canopy, maybe... although it certainly looks good,
I think it makes the whole thing look a bit modern.
-adding barrels. Especially brown ones.  ;-)

Thanks for the feedback!  Barrels!  I hadn't thought of that, but it's
definitely the way I want to go, the tiles were tossed on kinda last minute
(I was literally ready to head out the door for a possible SEALUG meeting)
but yeah, they could definitely go.  The train/FTV canopy is there because I
had two, one on each end, and that gave it a more classic digging machine
profile.  When I get a chance, I'm putting the second one back on and adding
the new drills I'm borrowing from Mark Sandlin.  In fact, this whole thing
has to wait as I'm starting something new (and big) with Muffin Head tonight.
