What a great conversion Martijn! Now put the steepnose on the forum here mate

MF 595 from Matchbox in the scale 1:43 And the UH MF 65 in scale 1:16 in normal box

Happy birthday to al i missed that last few days i hope the party where great Happy Birtday Andrew make a nice day of it

Looking good Peter i will also come to take a look then in Spalding! Are also adding mirors to this model or do you leave it like it is now?

A usual a top job Brian! I know what you mean whit the tekst you wrote about the conversions getting a verry big dip! I also know/feel what you say that the passion for making youre own models whit so much coming out! It is getting harder and harder to find a type of tractor to build that is not coming out in a few months or a year or so! If i look what i have build recently i must be ashamed of my self that is so minimal and that i think why all the efford to put in a model and then when it is finished you have the model and a large factory like UH comes out whit the same type! :'( Dont know what the future wil be bringin but i hope i stil can build some models and convert them! Regards Johny (hang in there Brian youre not the only one )

I know what you mean about getting maried Mark one of the reasons that i don´t want to get maried And also about the 1:16 models i totaly understand what you mean! For an example the 1:25 models from ERTL are so robust and nice of uglyness! but that is the charme of these models! *

thanks Sean for the reply The work i have shown the last day´s is from the past months my camera is broken so i must make all photo´s whit my phone. Not the best quality! I also started a while ago whit a VALTRAC again but i think i must finish some projects first to continue whit that!

Ow no now i cant sleep tonight after seeing this again Stil far behind if i look what you have standing in youre cabinet Mark! So now i know that i need to find more massey´s then i already did! Realy a superb collection i think i still need a few years to find some of the stuf you have! Regards youre ducht MF buddy

what a beast Johny! Do you also have a layout to place the models on? I think that would look great to see them on a lay out! Regards Johny

@Jamie: i know what you mean mate the model is expencive enough so this is realy a hit on youre wallet! If you look that you have 4 diferent models put in to it to make it a real beauty i think it wil cost about 130 on all 4 models! Paul the tyer just fits on the rim you only need to trow the tyre in boiling water then it go´s easy! The rims ar modifeyd to fit on the fusee´s/steering parts from the 5480

Well this model is spray painted a few months ago but never made some photo´s for an update here so here are som photo´s! The chasis still needs some work not glad how it looks now!. So here are 2 photo´s.

No problem Paul i ment the Ares rim like/of the old Renault/Claas Ares 836RZ And the tyres are from the Claas/Renault Celtis @Mark: Thanks for the compliment mate glad you like her

Happy Birtday James

The wheels are from the Celtis i ment sorry [ [ And they are on the front and back rims of the Ares (old type not the newer one) Thanks for the reply´s

And one for comperisation whit the original model

Well as the topic name say´s I am making a conversion of the 3080 in the style Jan MF did (whit some tips and help from Jan) What is done on the model so far: Made new steering cilinders from bras for the front axle. The front mudguards are from the UH MF 5480 whit the Fusee´s I also modifyed the rims of the Claas Ares from UH and took the wheels from the Claas Celtis also from UH. Then painted the rims. On the cab i have only shortenend the warning beacon. Now i must take a frontweight of the MF 5480 from Uh and also modify that. Then when that is done paint the whole chassis and put the model back to gether. So enough talked here are some photo´s

Thanks for the reply´s I think this is on of the most dificult tractors that i have build so far! i am thinking at the moment to build another eurotrac but only an other type more about that in the future Regards Johny

Thanks for all the good reply´s guy´s! Not many models are coming from my hand at the moment but i think in time the production wil start again! @Jan MF: the model is on his way but i already told you that today on the phone

Happy birthday Ol

Well after a long time and a lot off problems an update of this model. The paintwork is not finished but the model is getting there.

Well as the topic name say´s MF 3065 steepnose The model is based on the Lamborghini from UH (chasis) The cab and cabplatform are from the MF 3080 from UH And the bonnet is from the MF 6140 from Britians. And whit the 6140 that i build a time ago and whit Jan Lodewijks and Robert Peeters MF steepnose

Some nice photo´s Ziko!

Wel there is a big pond between it I think i went massey mad because all my uncle´s drove MF´sAnd the first tractor i ever drove where ofcourse an MF (3080 from the year 1991) Thanks Mark i have some building plans but not the big doors unfortanly Thanks for the compliment there are more conversions in there that i have build but the 8100´s are on of my favorite´s. The nice thing about a collection is not how big the size is but how you purchased the models!As i look how many years of collecting went by you have several years to get a collection like this! Wel it is like this JoeI didnt had much room for the 1455´s when i bought them. And they are in those display boxxes so the dust stay´s away! Thanks Mark! I know for sure you have some models that i don´t have like some industrials! I almost collect everything what has to do whit MF i have also a brochure collection but not that large as youre collection! There are some models out also that i wont buy like the yellow and brushed silver 7499 and the black 8650! Just because there are to much colors coming out at the moment! Thanks for all the reactions. I have also made some photo´s of the rest collection and wil place them later on this week because imageshack is not that fast at the moment! I know what you mean Wil some times i have a talk whit other colectors that only collect 1:32 over here. And about the space what can i say :'(

Some cracking photo´s! of a great layout! Also the convo´s are real nice!

You see it right mate i don´t have the 35X in scale 1:16 the industrial Never had get a hold of one i guess \ The 8100 conversions have i made a couple off years ago. That where the day´s when you could build a model whitout being afraid that UH wil release it :'( Now i am still building models but not in that large scale any more because i not have much time at the moment!
