At the bottom right you see scrap parts from the spherical bearings from which I extracted the balls and the bearing inlays.

Nice work on the bearing extraction.

Volvo G990 Grader 1:8 - Small update
 

More than overdue as the old cloud provider disabled the direct picture linking :mad: (luckily the old links are still valid). In the meantime the indexing bar and (all) cylinders were finished.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

:jaw::jaw: WOW!!!!! Looks terrific! Only thing is, where are the grease fittings on the bearing blocks???


Just kidding! This is one outstanding build.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

Thanks Lynn!
The grease fitting seats are at the arrows. They just haven´t been fitted yet. The central grease hole is barely visible in the next pic.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

You just got elevated to a master craftsman:jaw: I was looking more for a grease fitting in the bearing block not the ball joint itself. What other thing have you put in this work of art that you haven't shown us yet?!?!

Second thought- you are way above a master craftsman!!

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

So why can't I see the pictures, Lynn you got x-ray vision. Been following this from the beginning, first time I'm not seeing it?!

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

Me neither... Whould be good to see these pictures too :)

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

Nice clear up close pics!! No idea why you can't see them.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

The build is well beyond my imagination. Just can't believe this is a model. Amazing craftsmanship!

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

do you have any pics of the whole model thats is together would love to see model as built so far

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

(changed browser...) Very nice details, congrats again!

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

Oh lordi lordi ......When awesome goes Brilliant .....:) Just waiting for the miniature grease gun to be made.........:D

P.S. Grader is on my must have item list.

Re: Volvo G990 Grader 1:8
 

@All: Thanks a lot for the positive comments.

@Lynn: Ok, I was kidding a bit :o The grease fittings will not be operational - but coming to think of it... :D

@Kent: Hope you can see the pictures now.

@Jack: Yeah, haven´t had it all put together for a long time now, so think that would be a good idea. But no such pics at the moment. Sorry!

@Bo: Hopefully someone else builds the miniature grease gun :D Maybe some day in a very far future my second grader will be for sale ;)

Re: Volvo G990 Grader
 

if this is a 1/8 scale what do you expect the final weight to be around

Re: Volvo G990 Grader 1:8
 

Simply based on scaled down real weight I estimate it to be at least 40 kg. Extra implements like ripper and front blade not included.
