  1. Thats ok, I think the reason is ...e.g if all the tractors on a farm should be 72inches, by working from the centre of the tyre all trctors should track the same, no matter what the tyre size. If that makes sense,
  2. Thank everyone. I will try to get a bit more done, I am going to open the back window and one of the doors and add a bit of detail..........But I have got a flue bug off the wife , she didn't have to share EVERYTHING
  3. To the centre of the tyres on tractors, back when I was a fitter did a lot of PDI work . normal width these days is 72inches from centre to centre
  4. Well I have put the airbrush down for a few nights as I want a fendt 718 and the siku one was not realy what I wanted, front linkage and cab....nasty.But I love the wheels and tyres, so I thought I would have a crack at so of this convo stuff . I am using a UH 820 and the siku 718, wheels and hood but the UH front grill, it is a little more involved than I thought as I have had to lift the cab a few mm and do a fare bit of modding on the front wheels and hubs. And I have had to use the siku front mudgards as it just didn't look right with the narrow UH front gards anyway here it is say what you think as this is my first shot at a cut n shut
  5. Tractor........better have another look at that photo didn't see a tractor first time
  6. Sounds like a normal camping holiday? I see noprobs with that
  7. Jesus!! your ready to crush cars . Looks great.......but I'm not sure the front looks quite right, those mudgards, hmmmm might just be me tho . great job tho ........ ur the master
  8. Yer, when I took an UH 818 apart the rears just pulled of....with the strength of ten tigers
  9. Yup..... Vat gets cut, inflation rate goes down, And whats the effect....all prices go up, yet again the weewee is taken out of uk customers >. If I tried to put my buisness prices up by 30+% in one go, my customers would wast no time in showing me the door! Oh yer and just for the record I think the siku tractor etc are well over priced at the min......good toy, sh*t model, only good bit is the tyres .price they want for some of there trailors etc is shocking. I would rather work with a britains or UH any day I do see that the excnange rate could be effecting things, but I can't help be think that some marketing type people just see an opertunity to Inflate the required increase and hide it in the current state of the economy, \ OOOoooo I could crush a grape
  10. oh well, have to clear a space in the cabinate
  11. Don't get it to close to the flame, or the mans legs will go a soot black .Or the outside will melt before the centre is soft
  12. poss try a heat gun very gently Or get some hot siku women :D sorry always lower the tone
  13. Great pics,nice site. but why is there a horse racing jocky looking at the big disks in the diorama
  14. I did then, I think they are all made of gold!! then painted ready to be shipped out of the country full of some dodgy contraband :D, might fool there plan and buy one.........or maybe not eh
  15. Funny thing with him , I was watching the JD he had on there and couple of days ago, it was £30 or 35ish+ about 4.50ish postage buy now, checked it today and he had put all his prices up , he stuck 100quid on it I fell off my seat! thought it was a bit steep in the 1st place....but now, :o
  16. There is a chap on Ebay asking 130quid for one of those MF's you just cut up . I think it's going to look great as a Fendt The same chap wants £135 + postage for an ertal 3350 I think it was , fell off my seat
  17. I do think the dealer is the way to go for the green, prob cost the same as halfords paint and be spot on
  18. I think you may get closer to the paint match with humbrol or revel paint on the grey for sure, as for the green hmmm
  19. Damn!! you convo boys get through some tractors must cost a bomb
  20. That does look good, maybe the front mudgards need lifting a bit as if you fitted those tyres on a real tractor you would have to adjust them. It looks like they are on the tyres at the min. But it looks great and a clean job, nice I want a set
  21. This man has watched way to much plue peter all it needed was "here is one I made earlier" Nice work, they look very smart...
  22. well I wanted a tanker for my collection, but I was told I could not have a tanker..... :'( and that spreaders would be sent intead.......But I have made sure I get one from the next batch cos I WANT A TANKER mr barry (big hint) :D and the Fendt would look great with the tanker
