more pics

here it is finally finished just added the fencing i cut down some britains fencing roughed them up a bit with a nail file drilled the holes and feed through 34 gauge beading wire here are some pics paul

any spare jd 8430 tracks? paul

just to check to the right of what you took off does that have to come off as well paul i want to put a rear linkage on my new challenger 765b want to check before i start cutting paul

yes and a norscot 765b paul

thanks more on the way paul

are you going to do a post about how you get that look do you airbrush the filler on would love to know paul

no although it was a superior model to the standard siku 8280 there was still no glazing in the doors,paul

fantastic standard paul

very very good do you spray the filler on? paul

many thanks simon for your last post im glad other people get pleasure out of my models but looking around there are many doing great conversion work and this helps and gives me ideas for future work,paul

just to add britains have for the last 4 years launched models at the beginning of the year and then a 2nd release in the autumn also from a very reliable source the mf 7580 is the allis chalmers model britains have a very limited mf licence and personally for me im glad as the uh models are far superior in detail fine for me as i like to display with dioramas but bad for carpet farmers as uh models will not take any abuse,paul

thankyou johny not in your league though but practice and time will only help paul

heres my last project for the time, mf uh 5480 and uh 169v round baler enjoy the pics ,paul

thanks nathan, cant have all tractors looking clean can we ,as said in previous posts hooking it up to lemken front press and lemken solitare drill, drill is going to be christmas present from my kids, front press should be here this week they will be weathered as well paul

hi johny, thanks for that, yes when i have finished i will post them waiting for the drill to come paul

perhaps simon, as this is where i struggle what front linkage would you suggest and if i do fit it could i still connect the siku lemken press all tips and advice welcome isnt it an expensive hobby though ,what i want to do next is norscot challenger 765b plus i will need a doner for the tracks(britains jd 8430t) i want to fit wider ones and to go behind simba solo and double press about a £120.00 i think i need anyway look forward to your comments paul

not confident enough yet simon new to this converting lark i can see where you are coming from though paul

thanks for the comments dave and jamie next up but nearly finished mf 5480 and mf 169 baler both by uh not really converting just weathering and diorama got to finish hedges and fencing yes jamie weight easy but woul not have known until you said this forrum is very helpful paul

yet more pics!!!!!!!
