Thanks for the nice comments. Stephane, the toothed sprockets I cut out of MDF on the bandsaw - just did them by eye and they worked out ok. Wouldn't use MDF again though as it's hard to get a good finish (doh!). The front wheels are from the good old Bruder CAT dozer - the model that keeps on giving (tracks went on a Demag 485, decals went on a CAT 994 loader and now the wheels on this). I might even use the giant push blade to create a super-sized waste compactor out of a knackered Terex 72-71!

Lovely work Jamie - it looks absolutely fantastic. The bucket and the stick especially look really nicely detailed. Now if you could make it again, and weather the second one...!

Well Davie, the bucket and stick came from a 495 by TWH! (I cheated!)
