   do you make all these things from scratch or from some kind of plans?

   Some are made from scratch, some are made from a picture, and some are from plan.

   Maddog gave me a book of plans that the dozer came from.

   We'll have a kid

   Or maybe we'll rent one

   He's got to be straight

   We don't want a bent one

   He'll drink his baby brew

   Very impressive and equally cool looking.  From what I've seen, that's a really fine example of wooden model building. 

   I've known several good model builders, mostly airplanes.  I wish I had the patience for it.

   Thanks, They do take patience. Hardest part of that one is drilling 1/8" hole in a 1/4" dowel. About 5 steps for me to get 1 1/2" deep in dowel.

   Looks amazing!

   Do the treads "function"? What are they made of?

   Thanks, They do not function, just look pretty. They are made of a bunch of little pieces glued on the oval piece. Most of what I have is white oak and pine.
