There is a tutorial making tank tracks in a recent issue of 3d world magazine (should be able to change it to make caterpillar tracks) . I checked their website but it's not up as one of their tutes. I should have the mag at home so I will check for you later if you want.

Kevin the tracks are seperate from the wheels .although im not sure if a can make all of them work like a real bulldozer because of it being a transformer and the way i had to build the model but if it is possiable i would be very happy to have them works as a real dozer .thanks kevin

Good Work Alpha.....very nice concept. Good to see that you are writing scripts as well as modelling and animating! I am writing a short novel based on the star trek universe.

Keep up the good work...
