Thank you Tom :D

Things have been real hectic around here this week.

My regular work started popping and that has taken much of my XD time away.

With the upcoming trip to LA with my son I have been crazy busy.

I have managed to make a few moulds for the dozer but most of my time has been taken up trying to fill orders before my trip out to LA.

So hopefully I will have time for some tests pours before I leave.

All the moulds are done and I made a few casts and everything is coming out great.

I will put a price tag of $65 for the full dozer kit. Plus shipping ( about $5 )

For you guys who are interested . I am going to offer to fully build and paint in dark OD green the kit.

FOR AN ADDITIONAL $30.

So all you will have to do is hang it on your model.

The dark OD green will match the original 21st either the light or dark one as well as the FOV.

Not a perfect match but it looks good. :wink:

Let me know if you guys are interested in me doing this.

I am taking orders NOW !!!! :D :D :D

Most of the orders have been made . Now I have to box them up.

I am not sure if you guys need directions or not.

Maybe the pics will help with that ?

I did not make the armored conduit that covers the hydrolic line. It starts on the left of the left side of the bow mg and runs down and around to the main support. I WILL MAKE THIS PIECE AND CAST IT. But that may slow down the shipping for the kits.

You guys who want the fully painted and assembled rigs will get this piece.

Also who is going to put this on a BBI Sherman ? Let me know because I need to make some alterations to the mounting clip so that it will work.

Let me know about the BBI usage and the needs for plans.

Views on the armor conduit ?

Matthew, is there any chance to see this one make a reappearance ever again? Just curious, because if it is a possibility, I would be in for one.
