Cat D-11 1/3rd progress.

Wisconsin Dozer- Todays picture I posted several years ago on one of our trips to The National Farm Toy Show in Iowa. We passed this cute little tractor and I finally stopped and I had Deb stop and take a picture of me on it. At the time I was actually thinking of building a full scale static model of it for our own front yard. Now I am finally building a static model of a dozer this size so the picture was fun to repost again.
Today I attached the frame rails to the cab floor and to the radiator housing . Tomorrow I will start working on the tapered sheet metal along the sides of the engine shielding. I am not working full days this week because I still don’t feel good but I am working four or five hours a day. I am still really enjoying this D-11 model . I’ll post the next progress picture showing the frame attached to the cab floor soon.
Have a great Thurs. !
