I looks allot better now that the figure is the other side of the dozer looking fowards as if hes about to disembark off the landing craft to to start clearing the beach

Superb work Alan I was tempted by one of these at Crew today but the £68.00 price tag put me off .

The dozer looks fantastic Alan though it is a shame to cover up that engine, Something that might work for the blade is a technique that Zachary Sex, who has a lot of stuff published in AFV modeler mostly modern ARVs, told me. He uses potters clay- stineware would be a good colour for you and mixes up a watery slip and paints it on, then when it's just dry he scrubs it with a cheap, pound shop paint brush. You can see one of his pieces here.

I like the figure, the way he is looking off to the distance.

Great job on the dozer Al !!!
Like Bob says, it's a shame to hide all that work under the armoured casement !!!
Cheers
