liking that a lot , as for the mesh, have a look at the stuff the 1/35 tank guys use, you can get some really nice fine stuff there if you search round. will you be putting a cover on the table area? if so what are you going to use

amazing to think that started out as profiles and plasticard,an incredible bit of scratcbuilding Chris 

Thanks, in reality the grader is lots of simple shapes added together.  I just kept layering on the details.

thanks for the suggestion.  Not decided on building the cover table sheet.  I have some white 0.25mm rubber sheet, similar to the rubber used for the belts, that I would use if I made it.

Thanks, I have taken a lot of inspiration from the way you build detail into your models.

Excellent building as we have come to expect from you now. With regards to fine mesh, I asked about on a truck forum looking for something to represent venting on the side of a cattle wagon, although it wasn't what I was looking for I think it'll be just what you are after, and most likely available in your area, filter mesh, used largely for fish tanks I think, but available in a vast array of sizes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Copper-Woven-Wire-Mesh-filter-grading-sheet-Fine-to-Heavy-Duty-Gauze/293557135065?hash=item44595e66d9:g:glQAAOSw7L1dbjjG

Thanks for that, that looks just the ticket.  Will have to try my local pet store.
