Blender, the advantage for me is the simple build with not having to build a mold. I would prefer to vaccuum form the parts, but don't have the resources. I carved the piece from a block of balsa.

Ed mentioned to me about the radio, but need a bunch of 3-pos switches. the grader has a lot of 3-pos levers for the up/dn and sideways motions.

I need to get the wheels sandblasted then powder coated

those are mommoth dump trk wheels

Well, i was able to get the patterns of the moldboard done and sent off to the waterjet. Got'm back yesterday.....and after drilling and tapping all the parts, this is how it looks.

Spent 2 1/2 hrs at the dentist this a.m. and finallyfelt like working on the grade some more tonight. Got the cylinders positioned and now i need to make the swing arms for them.
