timslegos Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Looking really pretty and compact. i cant wait to see the finish. tim Quote
theozboy Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hi, what a fantastic model! Lego should have made a model of this one - i think a Cat Hi Tracked dozer looks so much better than the one they made. But then I'm biased - used to work a Cat dealer servicing and repairing these monsters. Which leads me onto my point, don't know if you realised that the rams on the sides of the blade arms are for tilting the blade from side to side - not front to back. See this video - Hopefully that link will work. Love the use of pneumatics and LA's too. Works really well I think. Adds a lot more functionality to the model. GOod Work! Tom Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Of course I tyied to do it, but it was impossible with only 4 motors, maybe next time with a bulldozer more bigger like komatsu d575 or in a bulldozer with a diferent scale with more room for mechanism. Maybe tomorrow I will finish it and I will show pics and a video. A pair of pics, only to do the blade... Edited January 14, 2012 by jorgeopesi Quote
timslegos Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Verry cool looking. Nice job :thumbup: tim Quote
technicfan Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 This looks nice, good job :thumbup: . I am hoping to oneday do a replica of the Komatsu D575A made out of the 8275 bulldozer. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Thank you for all coments, I hope to do a video soon, technic pics are goods but all technic fans we need video to see movement . Quote

timslegos Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I really like your dozer, nice job! How did you get the mLA to lift up the whole machine? Whenever i try to put any pressure on them the clutches slip . tim Quote

Thank you for all the coments make me think in the next MOCs. Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Nice job on that blade. Looks good. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 The bulldozer has been disasembled, when the gallery will be public you can see more and more pics of the process, thank you and we meet again in the next project. Quote
