So with the release of the Ambush Alley Games Fallujah scenario book I noticed that there are some that need an armored bulldozer for the scenario. Since I could not find one I decided to hit the toy stores. I found what I was looking for at Target for $7.00 USD USD. So this is what I started with
So I needed to make the cab look more armored so I added some card board from a cereal box.
You can see the size with some Liberation minis and a diecast Bradley next to it. And here is the finished conversion.

That's one massive bulldozer!! Judging by the size of the figure, the bucket must be at least 12ft high! |

There is one to built
accurate and a beauty:
link got one; have to do more urban high walls and Falluj scenarios will rock! |

Cool, I need to pull my finger out and do mine! And the scale looks OK:

Yes I did check the scale with a fig before I purchased it. It is a tad bit too large but VERY close. |

It still looks WAY too big to me. Even the one in Barks1's picture the bucket is only about the same height as the man. The model in the OP has a bucket TWICE the height of the figure (including his base!). |

You can get a similar 'dozer on Ebay, OK it's in 1/64th but close enough….

I don't think it is that much too big as I used the following picture to determine the size. I think Barks1 picture is an angle that is bad

When you look at the picture above you can see that the soldier comes to about the top of the track and that was how I measured this toy against my figures |

My Ebay version from above….scaled at 1/64th but close enough for me!
Brings a new dimension to 'house clearing' ops! |
