Davekuhh's Detailed LEGO models

[Blakbird]

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!

Competition, no not at all, this is a great load for my lowboy trailer... :laugh:

I like the use of expert builder gears as sprockets-very innovative

@ 2LegoOrNot2Lego

It will indeed be a nice combination with you lowboy trailer... But I think the dozer is too heavy for the trailer

Okay, that makes me curious, how heavy is it?

[Davekuhh]

I think Caterpillar's total weight will be around four kilos
