The proportions for the hoe are off a bit, I think.   But since I did it 
entirely by hand (with pencil, ruler and a calculator) I feel pretty 
good about it.

However, as a demonstration for some animation macros, it works pretty 
well, I think.  The code for the animation part of the script is less 
lines (ignoring the drop-in macro package).

Cool!

Is this just a test scene for your macros or is it the start of a "real" 
project, too?

Health and safety would have a fit about operating the rear shovel 
without the stabilisers fully and properly deployed. :)

Otherwise looks good to me.

Thanks.   Yes, it's the project that inspired the macro package (and so 
source isn't available).

But the package has taken on a life of its own, and I think is worth 
sharing, and it will definitely have example scripts that can be 
rendered, so far there are bouncing balls, some bugs and a robot that waves.

BTW, in my previous post I left out "than 30"; I should have said:

    The code for the animation part of the script is less than
    30 lines (ignoring the drop-in macro package).
