Fendthead

go on you cheeky gits,don't get me going on trucks, done a few of them over the years :D Right for all who are asking my trade secrets (wish), I am going to put a bit on the forum soon ...........honest . all you need is filler, paint an aibrush and 15 years practice . I am very pleased you like it tho, thank you, it will be finished in the next couple of days as I have a box of flail mowers turning up

one of the back

Got to shed a bit earlier tonight, few pics of how its going. I decided to keep the UH rear linkage this time....But the next one isn't . all the wheels and main frame now done I will just do the tops of the mudgards etc once the cab is on. I have made it wet mud as I have a plan for a diorama with a slurry tanker or poss a spreader

I have noticed this also, my local shop gets all the UH and all the siku range in . But some of the UH look like people have been playing football with them at the factory, broken mudgards are common, dislodged cabs and on the latest 415 fendts with loaders the cabs are warped!!

It's signal, green stuff but I am experimenting (err spelling) with diffrent makes at the min and how dry and wet they want to be, also UH paint reacts with some.

pm me if you want

Oh well, at least that makes combining the rug easier, ohhh but the carpet burn!

Yer that can be a bit of a worry thats why I have used a UH for my first try, Got my eye on a wiking 936 next, But I also have plans for another......jesus this gets addictive Any way one last photo of rear wheel arch

Yer there is a fair amount of airbrushing going on after the filler anyway done a bit more tonight

I could tell you...but then, No Its filler thats all

Oh my god! I have been looking for that site........Just spent a fortune cheers

Thanks, yer I have cut the door open, so it had to be done . I am going to put a bit of the normal in cab toot in there to

one more

few more pics, errr got a bit carried away . I am building the mud up in stages, thus the weathering etc before the model is back together

It's not just the front linkage now, I am new to this hobby thus took my first hard look at a siku tractor yesterday in the local shop and the new ones have a Knob stuck out of the cab roof and a shaft going through the cab! for stearing, great for play when we are cultivating the living room carpet (oh or is that just me ) but for realism its a nightmare!! and as for conversions......

Well after the flail...it had to be done, not going to do to much just a little cab detailing and the get some mud on it.

Hmmm 200+hp, would look good on a scratch built set of gangmowers

fendt now in bits

heheeee No probs in bits all over the bench now.....nothing broken

I think that would look fine with the coil back a bit, maybe the large chunky ends on the coil could be shortned a bit.....bit of paint and jobs a goodun

I am thinking of stripping down My UH fendt 818 for a bit of super detailing, painting and weathering. Any hints and tips on how to take it apartand take wheels off etc. any help would be great as it would save me breaking it by mistake \.

winter looks slow for me at the min, so if anyone is intrested in having on of these done clean or dirty PM me as I am more than happy to creat another, or any other peice of kit you want done to match photos etc

last 2

few more

Right I think it's about done maybe a few tweeks, hoses are not fitted to tractor properly yet as I may take the flail of to do a bit of detailing and weathering . Thanks for all your comments
