The old Lego Technic Bulldozer was published in 1993 under the set number 856. It has a total of 172 pieces of Lego, 46 individual Lego parts+2 rubber bands. The rig sould be identical to the original model. I made two easy sliders for the main arms, and a simple object to move the whole Bulldozer.
Note: It's possible to tweak the slider who controls the shovel too much, thats because it's rotating limit changes as the main arm gets lifted/lowered(so keep that in mind when you move the main arm up and down).
I must say that I enjoyed every little part of this project, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did^^

Here is the original Lego instruction for the Bulldozer:

Great work now this is what I call high-poly just rendered it and it looks cool the rigging is nice too.
I kept looking back at the render image because I thought it was a real life picture, amazing job great attention to detail.
You have more patient than Job, beside the talent, of course. Great, man!
@Heinzelnisse Stunning work. It's been added to Staff Picks. Thanks for sharing it with us.
INCREDIBLE!!!
Do you by chance a YouTube page with Blender Tuts? :D
Thanks^^ I don't really make tutorials of my own:( There are a ton of good tutorials on the Internet, thats how I got my skillz:p Good luck further on your projects^^
i love the lighting, and the textures are really good, may i ask how did you create your textures or materials?
Thanks:) I gathered a bunch of reference images and studied the original Lego material. Then I basically just made the materials^^ It takes a lot of practice to figure out how much glossiness you need etc. You really need to compare your material to the real object, then continue making changes until your happy with your result. The Lego logo is a simple normalmap, I also added a texture for scratches to give it some variety in the reflection, makes it less "clean". Hope this answers your question:3
Excellent modeling bro, gonna check it and see if i can learn from it
Well done, the modelling and composting. What I liked most is the texture you gave the parts. I tried to render but blender didnt want to and quit itself. I dont think its a Problem with your blend, but with my PC. All in all, very nice model.
Fantastic work. It looks absolutely like the real model. (Makes me want to dig up my old Lego's and put this one together again.
Cheers,
Looks like you got in one of Andrew Price's videos! (Check in comments) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r0KsLYr3wA&feature=em-subs_digest
