                        This is a vehicle that has intriqued me for many years and promised myself that I would build one one day,well it was time to put aside the kits for a spell and do a little scratchbuilding. I`m not perfect at it but I do enjoy throwing in the kitchen sink and seeing what comes up.I could not come up with any plans to speak of so did the best I could with the "by gosh and by golly" method.

                        Sickening, absolutely sickening, disgusting it is...really. Folks I nearly took this thing and tossed it when I saw it the other night. This is incredible, Russ I think this is your best scratchbuilt vehicle yet, you've really topped yourself on this one! Outstanding work!

                        Just isn't fair how some have all the talent. I can't even finish a kit and you can do a superb scarchbuild like the dozer. Excellent. Now do me a favor and do John Wayne's dozer from the Fighting Seabees. Cool [8D] pushing that little Japanese tankette off the hill.

                        That is simply phenomenal. The bulldozer alone is jaw dropping, but with the base added, truly a masterpiece. Cant wait to see more of your work.

                        I just found this. Absolutely beautiful. One of my "pet" interests.
                        Your modesty and ability marks you as an accomplished modeler.
                        ................... LOVE IT!
