CAT D9 Bulldozer MOC

Wow, this bulldozer is nearly perfect. I wish Lego would give its models such a nice design.

Tell me one thing: What is the point of using linear actuators as a fake cylinders? You are using same mechanism like in 8275, so I don't see sense in using those parts.

On later pictures in this topic, model is using motorized LAs.

Unfortunately, whenever I see the term D9, I picture Israeli armoured D9 bulldozers tearing through Palestinian neighborhoods.

The up-armoured one(s) seared into my brain is at about 0:42-0:48...

Probably because they look like cylinders and they fit.

Cylinders would have been ugly to gear, because the gears would have to show, so I decided to use the 8375 mechanism, as it is quite strong. and use the cylinders only as dummies, since they actually look like cylinders.

Thanks so much!

That was the original concept, but I changed it later as it looked ugly.
