not happy with the controller that comes with the dozer











All this was possible and easy because of my biggest and best toy my tool room Lathe

i can now clear the snow from my drive without leaving the house

Very cool Phil:)

HA HA HA!!! That's very clever!!! Very very cool!!!

Sweet project, so much fun

Very similar to the lathes i used at college in the early 80,s:)

Yes Graham its all "old school" no CNC here LOL , they were closing an old factory down i asked if i could buy they let me have the lot drill presses, grinders, millers and the lathe with all the machine tools the engineering manager didn't want it scrapping so i got it at a good price

Awesome Phil:) hate to see waste:)

That's awesome Phil, how big is it, I can't make out the size

its big 1/16 scale 20" long x 10" wide

Thats wicked Phil.
Love the weathering paint job.

That's awesome. Both the refit on the dozer and the lathe. I'd almost never use it, but I've always wanted to learn to use one and to have one.

Nice paint job Phil, and quite big too..

Like everyone else said, nice job.
I think we need video of it in action though.

Very nice bruh.. And I concur.. Video is required! Awesome job!

that is one beautiful dozzer, you should have taken pictures of it cleaning the snow away, and YES Video required, and NICE job on the paint

The weathering on it is amazing mate.

Indeed...VERY IMPRESSIVE. You are truly a person after my own heart. Most of what I do in RC is taking a kid's "TOY" and making it into a NOT TOY. Realism is my goal. Again, great job and I only wish I could weather like you can. WOW. Also video would be appreciated.
