1972farming

Yes ,the pictures are a bit dodgy .

I would take some more but I sold them all to mate .

Very nice work IM885XLS .

I also like the mirrors and those front weights.

At last I have found this topic again .Here are some old convos of mine.

Sorry about the picture quality !!!

Here are some convos I did  a few years ago .

I may have the wrong topic because I think I s the fastrac sprayer theme somewhere else ?

You are bang on there mate 

I used to go car-booting ,you would have one good day and five hopeless ones !!!

I don't know an exact current valuation but you did very well indeed .

Yes ,Udi,I think you are right .

Its on the cover of the 1978 catalogue.

Thanks for that ,Fendtman .

I may keep an eye out for one of the blue cabs for my collection.

Thanks for that Nigel,its been bugging me for ages .

I did have a feeling they could have been export only .

I haven't any in my collection ,just they grey ones .

Hello everyone.I haven't been on here much lately due to the better weather bringing gardening etc.I have also been busy getting ready to dabble in motocross part time.I am still doing a bit of converting and restoring though .Can anyone tell me the story behind the blue cabs sometimes seen on Britains Fordson DDNs.I have only seen them on tractors from European countries .Were they produced blue by Britains for export ? Or have some people been painting them ?I would like to find out just for curiosity really.

Thanks and best wishes to you all .

I don't blame you Andy .

I have sold a lot of models recently to buy another motocross bike but I couldn't sell my best Fordsons.

Nice one Andy ,I have a green one with red detailing in the same box as yours .

I was well chuffed to get mine off ebay for ?51.00 late last year .

Thats a lovely find ,Andy .Well done.

I'm very green with envy !!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

the chassi is all finished,decaled ect,as for the cab,time and no right material is the prob at mo,so the frame is just sat there awaiting finishing,if all goes to plan i have all weekend in the shed so will have another look at it,seen some tissue paper fiberglass sheets in halfords,very thin.might try that ,jas suggested it ,and i can file and shape it then once its dry

heres a couple of pics of her as she stands at the min for you

that looks the muts nuts mate.nice work 

Nice work on the convos and you are awizz on the paint shop !

Can you remember how much they made Nigel ?

Nice conversions guys 

Very nice Andy ,unusual as well .I have never seen one before .

thanks for that Hans

looks fine to me  :)nice work

If I can do it     Believe me anyone can do it

My casts are not without thier mistakes as i diddnt have enough synthetic rubber

as you see i have resourted to plugging up the ends so the resin doesnt spill out

blue-tack has been invaluble to me over the last few days  ;D

thinking of changing my I M to the "blue-tack_monster" ;D ;D

well done anyway

well done tm810,can't wait to see the finished result

great work guys,I wish I had the bottle to tacklecasting in resin .

It just seems a bit technical for me !

I will have to try it one .

Thanks for sharing it with us .

No I think I will leave it as it is .

Or if I do build it I wil leave off the decals as  they are still on the original backing .

I am really pleased with it and still on the lookout for some other mini-sets .
