You can pop next door for something to eat whilst you're waiting.

This abandoned mini digger is now stuck between trees, not sure how long its been here.

We ticked one off, the BIG one.

The wind blows the sand which accumulates at the top of the beach. Occasionally a mni-digger comes to move it back where it came from!

When the lawn 'died'.

Well, it's fixed.

In March I'll be displaying models at an event for cranes, heavy haulage and earthmoving equipment, together with several other Dutch Lego builders. They tend to build big. I will be taking my Van der Vlist trucks and Mammoet vehicles. For an additional new model though, I decided to go small by building a mini digger and its transport.

The truck represents a Dodge Ram and is fairly closely based on a model I built back in 2009, albeit now mostly studless and with a few new parts.

Building the mini digger was quite a bit of fun. Its cab is only three studs wide and the base is slightly less than four. The tracks work and the excavator arm is fully moveable.

The new models complement the items for a construction site I built last year. Construction companies in Europe often use pickup truck versions of vans, like the white Iveco. However, American pickup trucks aren't uncommon either.

I'd not seen one quite like this before. Very practicle and good fun too, I bet!

The trailers are interchangeable and the old construction trailer may actually be a better fit for the new pickup truck than for the Iveco.

The trailer for the digger has a folding ramp. It and the truck were fairly simple builds. The digger is a bit more complicated, with a fair bit of SNOT work for the cab and the diagonal demarcation between the yellow and black sections.

Wishing our customers and friends a very Merry Christmas

Bog oak water feature, this is the "before" picture with bog oaks liner and shingle in place. Some of the bog oaks were carried in by minidigger and nearly ended up on its side from the weight of them.

Works like this go on constantly, all over Utrecht. It looks as though 4 or 5 parking spaces are going to be lost. An inconvenience for the residents, but likely to be a disaster for the handful of shops at the junction of Griftstraat and Portstraat. Well, let's wait and see.

 

A few years ago the No. 8 bus route was changed. It no longer serves this part of town. Now the powers that be appear to be preventing people using their cars as well, by making short stops impossible. Perhaps the council thinks we should all either walk or cycle?

Just as we stopped for a bun and natter.

Montpellier Park is being 'Renovated'.

 

This photo was taken a few months ago, and now the work seems to be almost complete and the park should be fully open soon (hopefully)..... They've been working on this project for almost a year and I would imagine with such slow progress the project has gone way over budget!
