I figured you made it that way but in the first photos the screws are underneath out of view and you have them going the same direction rather than reversing one side putting the screws in towards the center bracket .

This build is putting most of the builds on this forum down a notch Just shows what can be done with CAD and CNC machines. Can't wait to see it all together

Incredible job... Can't believe you'd never be around a real one! So much details just from pics & vids A lot of research, for sure, and a lot of mastership and talent too
Cant't wait to see more!

I'd hate to hazzard a guess what the dollar value might be to achieve this level of quality?!

Do you have any intentions of actually using this model in the dirt when it's finnished or is it more of a novelty museum piece?

I cant share that with you because I do not want my wife to find out!

This grader will be played with in the dirt. That is why I am building it. I ran a lot of different construction equipment in my day but never a motor grader.

Truly insane and perfect scale perfection. At least that's what it looks like! Did you have to deviate much from the blueprints and dimensions of the real machine? Not that it matters, because it's beautiful, but I was just curious if you had dimensions of the real machine to pattern everything from, or if you just knew some of the basics and winged the rest.

Truely outstanding craftsmanship! Reality in miniature has always drawn me to the hobby.Based on Lil Giants comment on "wearing the paint off" how will you paint the grader, powder coat?

No I did not deviate. I start with the basic dimensions of the 1:1 machine that are available, that gives me the envelope where everything has to fit, and then work on eyeing the rest till I am happy with the overall look. Some parts are easy but some are a total guess from references to other parts and from pictures. I got a little luck because I came across a website that did a complete overall of a 24H with lots of pictures.

Thank you for the compliment!
I think that I am going to powder the main parts and paint the rest. I am not too concerned about that at this point in the build.
