Great topic Julian! Looks like the farm is flat out, driver of the Merlo best watch out he dosnt make it toppel over though aha!

The only thing is, strictly speaking, they are too big for a 'proper' stepframe. They are normally shod on smaller wheels and tyres to give a lower ride height. I'm not saying you wouldn't see any on 22.5 wheels because you do. Howards one was (it was a pain!) but it's. Probably why the ramps look steep and the step in the bed isn't all that big. However... It doesn't detract from your work. It looks as I said, bloody smart!

Yeah i think they are slightly on the large side but the best i could find in 1/32, would be top job if you could get 1/32 air suspension to lower the rear aswell    One of the lorry drivers at work does say that it would be better if the real one was on smaller wheels, but i couldnt tell you what size they were anyway haha!

Trailer looks blood smart, Cerin. really.nicely finished. Have you used scaled 22.5" wheels on it?

Thanks Tris!

Well i never measured the real ones so wasnt sure what size they were i just found some that were pretty close compaired to the Mans wheels, there 26.5/27mm and have 10 studs like the real ones and look pretty spot on if that helps

top job on scratchbuilding those brilliant toppers and trailer Cerin loads of detail in those

Thanks Jamie

Update on the lorry and trailer nearing completion now!

They look Superb!

Thanks im pretty happy with them, suit the trailer well there pretty close to the real ones!

Very nice models! Were they constructed from plasticard?

Thanks Niels, yep all plastistruct/plasticard

Trailer is looking great Cerin, are those wheels cast?

Also the tegal stuff is top notch too

Thanks James, yeah thanks to your tips and guide i think they have turned out pretty well

Also a few other creations i have done latly

Teagle Topper 5 and a Dynamo 245, neither finished yet but getting close

Real one:

Done a few bits on the step frame trailer for the Man lorry i sprayed up

Not great pictures as they were taken on my phone sorry all!

Warning signs and lights ive made for it

The trailer, still have to complete the rear and front stands, wooden floor and cross beams and a bar so i can attach it to the fifth wheel

Side box's for straps and ramps, made to open and shut

Thanks James!

Yes as Jordan says it is an automaxx truck, i ordered it through amazon and it came from Germany

Little project I have got on the go at the moment..

Started off with this:

Now looking like this:

Is not exactly the same as the real one but is as close as I am going to get in 1/32 without modifying it but here is the real one:

not to far down the road from you either mate, sounds like a good job

Yeah just 10 minutes down the road! Hopefully will be Sean

Congratulations Cerin, now I know who to pester if our 808 straw blower plays up

Haha thanks Gav, hopefully you wont have any problems with it!!

Im pleased to say after a few months searching for the right job i have just got an position at Teagle farm machinery, my job is tractor driver/ agri enjineer in the research and development workshop  

A bit reluctant to share a good deal but as it's on a buy it now i presume they have a few...

Anyone bought from these guys?  

The exsaust in the photo dosnt look quite 'original' but the description kind of says you dont get the model pictured i think?

Ive just had the new Britains 3050, 3350 and JCB 3c arrive and i am very impressed!
Having not bought any new britains releases for a while, they have defently uped there game! The models are full of plenty of detail but you have still got the tradination britians ruggedness!

Thought this one was quite funny http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITAINS-JCB-FASTRAC-1135-DIECAST-NEW-STILL-IN-THE-BOX-/151122759801?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item232f9e5079

This a great topic haha coming along well! Loving the discovery like a proper farm 4x4

Looking good as always, some moneys worth of gear and spud box's haha!!

Really like this setup, some really nice models and its run better than some real farms i know aha! keep up to good work

Looks good Jack, very realistic

Look very good Mark, your layout is very realistic! The 2wd 7610? looks perfect parked in the shed with the bale spike on

I can see the DM 4 on the plate but not the number Cerin.....I'll need to go back a dig deeper since it is certainly an older version than my one.

You can see it clearly in the picture below   The v5 is about some where so if i get hold of that it will have when it was road registered might give an idear of when it was built!

I got some pictures today, they are not the best quaility but better than nothing!

Identifcation plate

4 fuel pipes out the injector pump confirms its 100% a 4 cylindar desiel

Side and rear veiw

Cheers for the info Bill, i am 100% sure she is a diesel and i as far as i remeber i am pretty sure it said DM4 on the plate. I will try and get some more photos tommorow and i will take one of the serial plate so you can see!

Hurry on back to work Cerin  

 

I look forward to seeing and hearing about your Nuffield..they are much rarer than many many more tractor makes

Had a look on friday i only just remebered! Yep she is a DM4   The serial number is NT16 18, dunno if you can find anything out with it but anything would be apreciated mate

That is looking great all ready going to be amazing when its done!
