Nate-

Compliments go out to the design of the grader! I like the way you used the
pneumatics in the front steering (I guess I was wrong about the length of the
piston arm!). On your other creation, the road scraper, do you also plan to use
pneumatics (or the Bimba pneumatics) to turm the rear?


Hi Vineet!

The model is 80% done and I have run out of yellow studs. Here is Saturday's
link- http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=148840

I may decide to make it with a black stripe down the side which would utilize
the large supply of black studs I have.  Since I never make equipment to look
like a specific real-life model, it can look how I want it to look.  All I can
say is that it will be a "Wow'er." It will also probably be done before the Bell
Hoss (my crane).- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=147974

Benny 80 made a nice grader posted the other day.

Other than him I have not seen any fully-functional Lego graders on the net that
are complete.  I hope to be the first to build a complete one with the tilting
steering mechanism.  However, Dan Brinkman started one.

My scraper has been temporarily abandoned until I get more pieces and info.  I
may decide to make it black. I will also need more pneumatics.  It would require
6 large pistons and 2 small ones. It will have 2 pistons to turn the body.

Thanks

Nathan Bell
