CAT 14M Motor Grader

[Lil Giants]

Nifty seeing how you planned the cut so it bent into the right shape... did ya do it on the 1st try?

I never could draw or inivision in 3D before, likely the reason why I get frustrated with scratchbuilding. You however are doing a fantastic job!

What's its current weight?

What's its current weight?

First I made the part out of cardboard, bend it and try fit it to it´s place. Then I took the measurments of that, and made the program for the milling machine.
And it was not successful on the first time, I actually made a new one today, the one I show you earlier was too wide.

Weight of the grader so far is 5,5 kg

Today I made the roof side sections, witch where difficult to make.
What makes them hard to make is that the other side is straight, and the other is curvy like an airfoil. To be honest I´m not totally satisfied how they turn out, but maybe some bondo and paint will do the trick
