Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
There are no words left to describe this build. Making your own body shells like photo-etched brass is completely over the top.

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
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? |

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

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
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

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
I don't think it looks too bad. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Elliot, Bondo is a cheap 2part autobody filler that can be sanded once it has hardened. |

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
Great metal work Ari...That looks as though its a very difficult shape to model..
It seems that most of the new equipment built now has a number of different shapes that make it difficult for the modeler to aquire.. Not like equip made in the 70s 80s ,90s with most panels flat and square.. Cheers lou |

Re: CAT 14M Motor Grader
Yes, just amazing, awesome work! Tell me what ever shots you needs upclose, I'll just climb off mine and take them! Are you goin to have a way to run just one set of rear wheels, kinda like a diff lock? if it's like the real thing, it's gonna push real bad when u try to turn!

Hi guys,
I got time to continue with the grader, and I made one of the side covers for the engine compartment.
