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

All the grooves and panel lines are milled with this tool :http://www.cut-tools.de/cnc8fold-tool-p-3817.html

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Have you guys ever tinted your windows on these machines, what is the best way to do it. I would like to get the grader windows little darker shade.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

hey ari they make spray tint for cars use that on some plastic:D

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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!!!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Thanks guys for the information of the window tint:)

Here is a few shots of the progress:

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

it is a very amazing model and I really admire the details.
- How did you make or get the decals / sticker ?
- what kid of CNC-machines you have available ?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

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...

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Omg! Mighty impressive, stunning build!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I was kind of upset you were painting it but WOW its coming together very nicely indeed, Job well done.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I would forgo the ScaleArt Loader to buy to something like this (not that it's for sale). As I have said before, this is a Fantastic build, superb skill and craftsmanship! Simply amazing!! Look forward to the videos and completion photos.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Ari. I don't know what else to say, except this is got to be one of the best construction models that I have ever seen. The detail is exceptional and the model runs superb. You should be very proud.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

this is amazing.. I cant find the words to say how awesome this grader build is... just wow

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

wow, what a great work.

-Do you want to add a rear ripper? I am not sure about the right english word, or is it a scarifier?

-how did you paint the grader, with a sprayer?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Congratulations on an impressive build! It really came together nicely.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

This is an incredible build! I love the interior details great job. The warning decals really give it that realistic touch!

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

I sit here shaking my head with the talent and detail of your machine.:eek:

I'll take without the electronics even.:D

Ben

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

That turned out pretty good Ari. :cool:

Now to see it work! :)

Esc on the pump and mix all the valves (8 or 9 valves?).. what radio will you be using to control it?

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Wow, seeing how that turned out makes me want to be a better machinist. It is very inspiring to see what can be done.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
 

Thanks guys for the nice words:o

RCLogger, the total weight with all the electronics on the scale is 9,8 kilograms.

fuchs301, no ripper at the moment. It´s painted with spray cans and airbrush.

Lil Giants, there is 8 valves, plus few speed controllers, sound, some lights...
For this I purchase new Graupner MC 22 radio.
