   why JimB?

   First name, last initial.  I guess I lack imagination.

   Geez.  Thanks for the tip to check my profile.  Somebody sneaked in gender-reassignment on me without my knowledge.  And gave me a new career in entertainment while they were at it.

   nice...

   expect that one to motor off on it's own...

   I cut 72 small pieces, stuck them on masking tape, applied glue, wrap around frame, added rubber bands to clamp. Thanks again Imerc

   A close up of blade is in reply 18. Not sure what you want to see on cab. I didn't do any guages or levers on interior. I need a picture of a old type interior with the 2 levers for steering instead of newer joystick operated ones. I drove one years ago but can't remember any details of interior.

   Cool! My 5 year old is standing here looking over my shoulder, I always show your pics to him.........he asked "how do you know that he's making them, maybe he's buying them" <G>

   Once again, nice work, and I'm convinced your making them!

   Maybe you just need your 5yo to come up with something Dood can make.  That should convince him. jt8

   Tell him I am poor and can't buy toys so I have to make them.

   Thanks for the confidence Doug.     Dallas

   does the dozer roll?.

1. 
   doodabug | Jan 31, 2007 12:29am | #23

   It doesn't roll. Blade goes up and down, left and right. Not too much detail on this one. I have 5 more to make then I am going to try and make operating tracks.  Thanks

   doodabug | Jan 31, 2007 12:20am | #22

   How about?

   I don't have any money to buy toys, so I have to make them.

   Thanks Dallas
