Blakbird Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 The Caterpillar is stunning, no doubt about it. But what I like even more are the tracks on the ground behind it. You've flattened the ground where the Caterpillar has driven. That, my man, is eye for detail!! I also like that the ripper is actually dug into the ground. The size of the display messes with your head. You may be tempted to think that those are tiny 1x1 plates littered around the ground representing sand, but they are actually 2x2! Quote

Technic Jim Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I like the use of expert builder gears as sprockets-very innovative Quote
Davekuhh Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 @ 2LegoOrNot2Lego It will indeed be a nice combination with you lowboy trailer... But I think the dozer is too heavy for the trailer Quote
