convo

you send me it and i will paint a tractor ,truck or van any colour /livery you like ,this wiking jd has been done for a forum member and will be on display at spalding model show,this is the most complex model i have done just because there were about 40 individual parts to paint ,

i will be at spalding in the small hall if you would like to see the quality of my work , ;)

well its still jd at hart  ;D

well how does the song go "where are you all coming from, from north east england geordieland where i be long" lal lal lal lalr lalr

yes you right ,that looks ok with them wheels on 

i like that alot ,my sort of conversion  8)

if you google police john deere it will bring you up to speed on what this is all about :) just to promote farm crime awareness to the public

you just know how fussy i am  ;)

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 

Do you not think those two factors are related ??   

You can't expect the standard of the Siku remotes on another makers radio controlled at half the price.

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
