IH885XLMAN

ha well you dont ask you dont get    ha ha! ...The sites working better today than yesterday 

how about it coverters;  We have duncan all the other britains cabs being produced this cab could cover alot of  models if you have a look at ertls john deere 3350 the floor pan is identical for a base of this cab

How about britains ertl or racing champs who ever they r  do a INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 885XL i think it would be cooooooooool

this cab was made by seckura who suplyed the cabs like this to john deere called the OPU control centre also david browns in the mid to late 70s and international thay also  did the explorer which was on the marshall and daid brown case ih 90-94 series so you could be talking alot of model tractors from the two cabs from seckura also if you have an ertl 1.32 deere 3350 you will notice the fenders and floor pan are from this type of cab(secura) but ertl have stuck a SG2 cab on top of the floor pan so i would (if i had one )cast the floor pan off the ertl 3350

what do you say dave?

i personally think mid 70s boxes were "Britains at their best" for?presenting their farm product in the straw boxes did not think to much for the rainbow boxes, I don't know what it was about the straw boxes as a kid but it just subliminally said buy me . this COULD be a topic in its self

incidently how did you get the marshall pannels ? they look cool

any more pics of the tractor?

for a tractor not avilable on the 1.32 model scene by britains ertl or siku i know it would be a winner

yea thanks dave ive learned alot the last few weeks hopefuly i will have a david brown 1390 maybee 1490 to show in the coming weeks

could you not get resin from wilkos or do it all where did you get the latex from and how do you go about using it with cabs if you dont mind me asking ?

have any of you copyied origional (i mean produced ur own )cabs with latex  or plastersine also i thought of pressing the cab like left-front-right like finger printing the cab on latex or plastersine heres a cab i want to make

[attachment deleted by admin]

ive got an idea with bonnets if you have an origional bonet i was thinking of using a clay base mould by pressing the origional into the clay thus making an impression of the bonnet then pouring ressin into your impression what do you think you could also do your own bonnet calve out of wood add plastic strips on it (international 784 easy )as for the low parts of the bonet cut plasicard up from the right scale i read a good tip on getting the 1.32 scale basicaly its the origional dimentions of the life size model ie real tractor then take all the mesurements from it then divide all the mesurements by 32 heypresto all your 1.32 mesurements

is there an easy way to "copy " a cab i have aquired a lone star tractor with the secura cab what is the easiest way to cast it with resin (i still cant get my head around it )i can do simple things ike bonnets but cab casting goes over the the top of my head

is this on that i saw on farmphoto a couple of weeks back  It is nice

anybody had much expieriance in casting there own tractor cabs as this must be the most hardest part in model making i need 10-20 explorer cabs for DB from ertl and lonestar any suggestions?
