Tamiya Komatsu G40 Bulldozer - Build Challenge 2016

[S&S RR]

Deadline!  What deadline? 

[Vilius]

When is the challenge deadline again? I may be falling behind. Got to catch up.


Jaime

Don't worry about it. When this challenge ends we will start another for all of the unfinished builds from this one

That's a relief...

I already have my next challenge build project lined up.

I ordered these two items (spray lacquer and weathering set) from Amazon right when I began the build. I wanted to be able to use them to weather the dozer. They arrived today. Oh well, its the thought that counts...



Later.

I also like the look of your weathering on the 'dozer.  Any progress on the diorama that you're putting it on?

Jaime:

Beautiful model. Tamaya makes great kits. Wow and 1/48th scale to. Weathering just beautiful.

Hey Jamie,

   The tractor looks really neat. I like the color you chose for the hydraulic hoses. Does this mean you're now going to be an O Scale guy?

Thanks for sharing!

So I just got back from the first Crafstman Courtyard held at the Timonium show this past weekend (October 26 and 27 of 2019). I got several comments from several folks at the show about "when are you going to finish xyz build thread?".


Alright already !!!


I did not finish this challenge but I did take first place in Rolling Stock or Vehicles at The Craftsman Courtyard model contest with my cool little O Scale dozer. OK, so mine was the only entry in that category but hey, you cannot win if you do not enter. So I can now say the dozer I built for this challenge is a contest winning entry.


Ha !!!!!  Haters are going to hate...... 


Pictured below is the plaque to prove I did indeed win.


Thanks for stirring up the pot Raymo.

From what I heard from others that where there, you could have won if a dozen others had entered. Looks great, congratulations.

Thank you.


It was fun hanging out with other modelers and walking around and seeing lots of cool model train stuff. I saw lots of great craftsman kits (new and old). It's amazing what these koi makers are doing with the laser engravers and the 3D printers.

Working in 1.48 O scale changes everything and how its viewed easily.   Its right there in front of you, nothing hiding !

Now consider G or 1/2" scale, something I have not tried yet, but there is some really interesting locos and stuff in the narrow gauge 15---18 track spacing.  have a friend who is doing some 1/2" mining, its really WOOOOOOOOOOOW..
