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
