Thank you , gotta agree there's some excellent conversions on here at the moment

here she is finished for now ,

Excellent job done there , looks a right beast of a tractor now .

4 metre Kockerling PC cultivator would be nice

They look so much better , surprising what a decent set of wheels can do to a model

Cant belive they've still included the orange fold up cultivator , surely thats abit out dated now

BRILLIANT , if youre only 15 now and you made that 5 years ago, your very talented , keep it up , I like the grab made from the britains muck forks,

Great to see all the replies , by the way the david brown and digger is very good ,

Blimey !! not being cheeky but i was only 6 then ;

looks good , would like to see some pics of the 2wd and loader

Sounds like you've both been converting for quite some time now , have you still got the models ?

Was just wondering what was the first model tractor you converted , Mine was a britains ford 6600 about 10 years ago, just thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else started on . Heres a couple of pictures ;

Thats a fair beast of a tractor , shame they dont make them like that anymore , cant make my mind up weather to add wheel weights to mine now though ,

Universal hobbies massey 7499 off of ebay , including p+p it cost me £ 19 .95 , only thing wrong with it was a slightly damaged box , Quite a bargin I think

Ive got a phone number , 01646661645 give him a ring I'm sure he'll send one on to you , says on his order form to phone between 9am and 8pm for any queries . Hope this helps

The front lights are from brian norman , he calls them custom plough lights on his list theyre made from white metal so have to be painted ,but I think theyre very useful

I've got some reproduction grills coming from brian norman , will see what they look like when they get here , if they dont look right though will have to get my thinking cap on or seek some advice from you fellows on here

Heres a few pictures of my next project , hopefully finish her over christmas, It started as a britains 8730 , then I fitted an imber front linkage , resprayed it , fitted new decals etc and added wheels from a joal valtra s series , still got to glaze the cab and add some wheel weights along with a few other bits and bobs so will post some more pictures when shes finished Hope its of interest to you all .

Newholland T7070 blue power , very nice model very pleased with it

Thank you all , as for the fendt in the avatar , thats what I get to spend a fair bit of my time in at work, that one is the first of two I've had this year, picture was taken in march when ridging up spud ground

A couple more pictures of the TM , this time with front weight and universal hobbies khun plough modifed into a 5 furrow version

Thank you , will try and get some more conversions on here over christmas

Hello been a member since begining of the year , and thought it was about time I made my first post , Im not exactly a dap hand at using computers , so got the wife helping me , so if it goes **** up we can all blame her . Thought I'd start by showing my TM165 conversion. its based on a universal hobbies renualt ares fitted with a front linkage from a renualt atles , the cab and bonnet is from a britains model TM , with the cab roof coming from a ertl ford 8670 i've also added mirrors and hand rails etc . well , hope you all enjoy , and if this all works as it should , hope to share some more of my models with you all .
