Fendthead

I'm the god of filth Had to laugh, thanks for the compliments chaps....I just have a dirty mind If you wish Mike (kentman) send me a pm of what your after and maybe we can sort something out. But if you do want to have a go a few people have had good results with the Tamiya mud type paint, but I have never used it myself so I can't realy say how good it is. Also you can play with MIG powders. there range just keeps getting better. I am a little garded about the method I use, One reason is that it is very very toxic at the application stage, I wear a full resperator etc, But its fine once set. Also so far It keeps me busy in the quiet times if you know what I'm saying . Dave

Hmm someone is going to get a massive bill . they tend to go to town with that sorta stuff

Oh no! who got them up north started on hills , you know they work on mountains, and drink Iron brew by the ltr can....but hey I'm in norfik, last hill I drove over had a mole under it I needed 4wd

H&S good airbrush, I have one for fine work . I agree acrilics are far easier to work with, i use a lot of tamiya.

If you are using the airbrush a fair bit it is best to spend a bit of cash on a good quality make.I have had a badger for a few years now and it's still going strong.The thing I find is with badger,Iwata etc you can still get parts with ease even if the brush is getting old. If you are spraying large amounts of the same colour I would go for a bottom feed so you can fit jars, thus you can mix large amounts of the paint, use as needed then screw the lid on when finished.(My most used paint is mud brown...I just love it , huge jar of that). with say a 0.5 needle. But if you are doing very fine work you may want a top feed with a small colour cup and a fine 0.2-0.3 needle. This is why I use three diffrent airbrushes, if you see some real pros workbenches they can be running up to 7 all at the same time with a huge compressor As for paints you can spray most paints, just thinned to about the thickness of milk. a little thinner if you are doing fine work with a fine needle. You can spray the spray can into a jam jar then use the paint in the airbrush BUT spray paint is very thin thus you need to be carefull with the airbrush 1st time or use fine needle. to clean out I use spray away, and you can't beat a good compressor for air supply. That has just scratched the surface, but it may help a bit . Also as with a lot of things,it all personal preference, so the next person you speak to will prob say diffrent to me.....

Hi Should be ok with spray cans, just use light coats to avoid runs and covering detail in a thick coat of paint, the last coat is the hardest, the "flood coat" as some call it, as you need to get a good enough coat of paint so you get a great finnish without loseing detail \ . Ford blue is a light colour thus will prob need a light primer grey or white I would think, but if your realy not sure see what colour ford primer is for the full size tractor . as has been said use a very fine wet and dry to rub down look for your mistakes at primer stage, a bit of rough filling etc will soon show up when primer is applied It is better with and airbrush as you are in far more control of the paint, also if you are using spray cans your masking will have to be 100% spot on! or you will get paint creeping in at the edges, but with an airbrush you are putting the paint on so softly you can get away with some very dodgy masking . have fun

Haha wish my dad wanted a fendt i had 3x JD's over the years next I hoped for a fendt...but then we sold up

handled few thousand of them when i was on the farms

£1.550 to replace the clutch in my nissan navara

Nice...ur wased on us, such talent

I bet those words have been used by a few porn film directors

This is great news, just what I want!

I'm loving the NH, just asking to be made into a nice dirty stock/small arble farm tractor,be having on of them when it's out

I know I know , my little 10yr old cyber shot is not the best, I'm working on it, and a photo booth, just strugle to find the time at the min :'( . Bloody day job getting in the way

Doing quite a bit of work on the site at the min, it's still a bit basic as it's not a full blown website, just a blog site, limits what you can do a bit \ . one day I dream of getting it to UTS standards Every time I look at it I spot another spelling mistake...dislecsik as aplank me

I keep looking at photos of my amazon spreader on a fendt, and thinking"bugger! wish I had dusted that base" It's nice to see so many good photos of my stuff....Thank you all for taking the time.

I was very controled Weise fendt 615 Schuco fendt 211v Kuhn power harrow All from the ugly man Set of row crop wheels & a set of flotations And a box full of other peoples tractors...the best way to sneek things past the wife . just say they are all for customers and hide what you have bought in the box But if I had lost control, I saw a very nice JD 3650 :'( , and a wagnhof ( spelling?) case. and one day I will buy a DBP ford

Oooo I hope the in cab detail is good to, some of there latest models have been quite good, fingers crossed.

so she thought she had found the only weirdo with you. good show tho, not to bad for me, spalding last april was my 1st show and I did feel that more people came through the door.....I think if the weather had been pants, more would have come this time, many were stuck at work I would think

It's my local and It's a good shop for sure,they have no idea what they are selling, they just order the whole cataloge most of the time, they get the good stuff to as the sales reps are all over them like a rash! most stuff is on their shelf as soon as it's released. I go there a fair bit as it's 20min from my door . also one hint , they only price once, when the stock first gets put on the shelf,, so if you look hard enough you can find some very cheep tractors, there are a few that have been there a year or so now, and they are cheeeeeep

Yep this lot is comming with me, plus load of other stuff if I ever get it finished Hmm could be a workshop scene next, loads of posabilitys realy

ha ok it stays

as long as your standing with us, as a scene from shrek is incompleat without donkey

Thanks for the nice comments folks, It's not that hard to do...you just have to start with a total disrespect of model tractors ;D Anyway the wash area is very close to finished after a late night. bucket may or may not stay in
