Alien 5 Bubble Dozer 4WS
First, I apologise to those wanting to see pictures of th work in progress: there aren't any. Why? I was never sure if the thing would work and didn't want to take pics to trow them away (and clean the shop every time). Second, the plans: there are no plans! The plans were in my head, and I've changed them so many times it would empty the inktcartridges on my printer. I also changed so many things or had to start over the recycling bin is now full. Constructing this was hell and heaven. This will be, for the time being, the last one in the Alien series. I'm gonna do some simpler stuff to ease my mind and take a few weeks off in my cabin in the south of Belgium. I'd love to hear your comments!
As before, the cabin is the steering wheel, connected underneath with the rear wheels to make it a 4WS, four wheel steering. The two great exhaust-pipes are the handles to operate the dozer. Total length is about 55 cm, heigth is about 20 cm.If enlightment is not where you are standing, where will you look?

Pretty wild. Nice work Leo.
The photos are a bit deceptive - it's bigger than it looks.
Does the bucket keep it's position when the steering is turned?
Some more pics with the bucket in different positions would be good if possible.... Steve

Truly excellent Leo.
Your mechanisms are even better than I imagined. Looks darn good too.
Very well done. I'm looking forward to your future work more than ever now.
