First I'm told Klocki mentioned the animation, now TBB... Actually, Tim, making the actual LDraw file, before sorting out its parts into construction steps, was the biggest work (so much that people pointed out errors with it twice). Re-arranging the parts into construction steps was a long session of drag-and-dropping, but, apart from making sure parts were only added in front of others, wasn't much difficult or required much planning. What amazes me the most is all the aura this little set has generated: two people already independently reverse-engineered the 8259 before me, one of them even with motorisation! Their creations can be seen at <a href="http://technicbricks.blogspot.com/2008/10/8259-dozer-mania.html" rel="">TechnicBRICKs</a>. I don't think any other set got such enthusiasm, I'm not sure why.
