convo

i have done the conversions for a forum member ,but the best is yet to come ;)

also in red ?

siku

siku or wiking

or come on now ,every man and his dog has a red Massey or 10 red Massey's on the shelf do you know inside every red Massey there's a blue new Holland trying to get out and this is the result of that happening :laugh: i think is a bit like coming out the closet :laugh:

wheels were removed from the siku twin wheel claas axion 840 ,then painted yellow and i had some wheel weights lying around so i give them a lick of paint as well,

wheel weights & floats

just while i was in between painting tractors white and black i thought i might just swap some wheels around

price it the biggest factor in every thing as we all know .so what can we compare them to or expect from both ?? or do we just say siku remotes are at the top of the league table and every other manufactures of remotes of this type are on a level playing field because of price ? i deal with two of the bigest supplies of farm toys in the UK and they have no problem selling the siku remote control at there price ,how ever the competitors ones don't sell so well , why is that ? even at half the price i think is is more were it is made than price ,even cheep German toy are built to high standards, hey its just my opinion

what i have found with the siku models they pull apart really easy ,the best way is to paint the whole thing then remask for the mat black wheel arch extensions etc ,the stickers i get them all made by my mate ;) and the are all pre cut so no messing aroung with the craft knife and are proper sticker decals not water slide i will be promoting my stickers at spalding show in April ,the white paint that i have used is vauxhall code 10L this is the best white i have ever come across ,alot of people think it is pearl white it looks that clean , hope this helps cheers peter

siku white claas xerion 5000 ,the chrome exhaust looks a bit weird because it is picking up reflections

the paint i use is 2k the same type of paint i use on cars at my work ,and i am very fortunate to have all the facilities (spray booth) to use this type of paint ,so not only do you get a great finish it is dirt free and the paint is more robust than the original used on the tractors from siku ,uh,britains ect ,when you see my conversions for real it is just as paul says looks as if it came out the box like that , the biggest criticism i get is why do i waste my time on siku tractors because the paint work is far to good for them ,it is simple you send me a model and i will paint it with no tell tail signs of what it was ,i can put my hands on any colour because i am not limited to rattle cans, please come and see me at spalding show ,i am always happy to chat and pass on my wealth of wisdom, ;)

well you can see where the idea came from ,you know me by now i just like to be different, ;) .or by the way that does NOT mean dressing up in our lasses gear , ;D

i was getting a bit fed up of black and white paint

hey that is very good, different that's what i like to see 8)

i think the siku remote stuff is fantastic in every way both new and older version and if you compare it to other remote 1:32 toy/ models in general it is worlds apart ,just the price i can not get my head round ,but i am lucky enough to get it for cost any way ;) if siku is any thing to go by it will just get better and better i cant waite to get me hands on the fendt with the loader on

the colour used is the same match to the rest of my siku kommunal /local collection so this model does not look out of place on the shelf ,but the paint finish is far better on mine ;)

more

just an idea i had ,some thing different

Joe i think i might do the roof silver ,just looks as if i have not put much effort in to it ,

i think roy massey it going to post some of the wiking fendt 828 or should i say 824 conversion

well it is only a base siku model

just some thing that i thought looks intresting ,for a bit of a change ;)

that is my sort of model , 8)spot on looks great in the black ,i am on with the siku model as we speek ,
