Great detail and workmanship. Would like to see the your CNC setup. Would you post a picture of the machine running one of the next parts for your grader?

Thanks.

Ken

Yes indeed this is a very nice build. I have a soft spot for road graders. I own 4 antique Caterpillar graders built in the 1930's.

At a loss for words...

I've been dreaming of one of these in 14th scale for yrs!

I hope you are saving all your G code to make more than one?

How much time has past to get to this point in the build?

What rpm gear motors on the rear drives?

All G-codes are saved, but I might do many parts differently if I ever build another one.

I haven´t kept any records of how much time have I use, but I would estimate something about 300 to 400 hours

The motors are RB 35 with 1:100 gear boxes.
