Hemi1966

What type of tool did you use to make the details on the cab and hood? Also where did get all your micro fasteners from? Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks JT

Tamiya has translucent paint for exactly that purpose.
It tends to be darker once mounted than when spraying, so do not overdo it

This is a great build-your attention to detail is amazing, but the sound system is what puts it over the top for me. It's perfect!!!

See you like details to, Ari. The small stickers add realism!
Is everything manufactored now? Only painting and assembly left?

Outstanding in every way! I've watched your videos a few times too. Your making this grader to a new standard that others can look up to. I can't wait to see some video of it in real dirt conditions with close ups.

It's really coming to life with the paint! I know raw models are really neat to look at too, but nothing says 'real' like a metal painted model.

Not sure if I have commented yet but, wow, the level of detail is amazing. I agree that the paint really does bring it to life.

The Cat decals are printed on this: http://www.bare-metal.com/Experts-Ch...ecal-Film.html
The warning stickers are from Fechtner-Modelibau: http://www.fechtner-modellbau.de/

I have Optimum BF20L milling machine, that I have converted to CNC.

I made few more details to the drawbar/circle by adding wear strip covers.
This is one of the last parts that is not painted, so it looks like the painting will hopefully end soon...
