[MOC] Pneumatic Grader

[paave]

This is my first pneumatic MOC, and with no PF. It is based on GS-18.05 grader. I tried experimental placing of the cylinders to keep its look realistic.

Features & Functions:

• Turnable control (moving down/up/left/right/incline)
  
• Blade control (moving aside/down/up/turning around)
  
• Dozer blade lifting/lowering
  
• Ripper lifting/lowering
  
• Frame turning
  
• Front wheels turning
  
• Front wheels incline

Nice model

How are the two long thin actuators attached?

With a bunch of nasty stickers and some more colour vomit it could easily be an official TLG model - good work there

Cheers,

Ole

Very nice. It would not surprise me if Lego would bring out such a model one of the next years. Do you intend to make instructions for this model?

If you mean cylinders – just with hoses.

Very nice. It would not surprise me if Lego would bring out such a model one of the next years. Do you intend to make instructions for this model?

There is instruction made, but it will be available later.

Awesome I like it very much, it is very difficult to do it well the blade of a grader congratulations .

[Brick_Sticker]

Very nicely done, you really captured all the features of a real grader. I love the way you mounted the vertical cylinders, simple and effective.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Really nice looking grader.

Great ... Looking forward to it!

You have packaged that very well. Great work.

They're not "mounted" at all, just attached by the nozzles. Not a great way to do that, imho

[paave]

Thanks all. It is really not the best way to mount cylinders, but they sit there really well, better than it may seem.

[1974]

And according to your video, they work well too

This is pretty darn good. May I suggest using the Lego Barb on the ends of the ripper claws. Looking forward to the instructions. Keep up the awesome work.

I just love this grader.

The well captured design, all the functions packed in this scale nominate for: the best grader MOC I have seen! :thumbup:

Very creative and effective usage of the new pneumatic cylinders!
