Fantastic work James as always

Fantastic pictures Sean what kind of camera have you used must be tiny? 

I did think I saw some with grey wheels, thought that they'd got the picture wrong and it was a big farm instead. Ah thanks for that tip mark, I've shown him your pics and he loves it so I'll have to buy him one now haha!!

I like it mark Does look quite well detailed for a "child's toy" and the size of it. Funny how they make the wheels the right colour on the big farm but not the 1/32 trailers. I have just bought the big farm ivecos for me lad and they are brillant very robust and good detail for the size and price. Ivy the looks of this i may have to get him one of these trailers and take the sides off too so he can use it to cart his sand around the garden.

I never seem to win those kits you jammy sod. That would be nice to see a grain truck don't see many of those built. I've had me eye on one of those globe trotters for a while now the welly one in red. 

Fantastic work Sean this is by far the most realistic layout I've seen. You've done a brillant job of those trees. As you say you've not been building stuff recently I'm still waiting to see the tipping trailer your were making a while back from a monogram kit was it? That would look good on your new road. Ow and I think we all would love a nice lottery win haha!!

Your getting good at weathering the tyres now Paul i get fed up trying to clean the tread when I try to get that effect so end up covering them all. 

Bucket is now painted and pins made. 

Thanks James 

Got a bit more done on me bucket tonight teeth are now on, detail to the sides and bottom and a lick of primer. 

the only annoying thing is the teeth area little small but no much I can do about it now!!

Fantastic work Paul. You wouldn't even know what it started as, what a turn around no pun intended haha!!

Looks pretty smart mate, you going to do any others ? Ditch bucket or a likes 

Thanks Sean yes I will be. I did a digging and ditching bucket before so will make both again, just need to get some thinner card for the ditching bucket as getting the curve to stay is the trickest part. Might have a go at a riddle bucket too at some stage.

Thank you Paul 

As I sold my last two buckets I made for the Britains jcb js330 I've decided to make another and it's been a while since I've done anything and have rather enjoyed it. 

Just love it when you sell things on eBay and the buyer doesn't pay effing time wasters!!

Have you checked the engine mapping ect Jordan?? If you go for after market stuff sometimes it throws it out , may just need a rolling road tune to correct the small flat spots in the mapping . Mates golf had similar issues when he messed with it, didn't take much to sort just a few minor tweaks 

I've not had it mapped yet Sean but I've found the problem the offending article is my EGR valve. Before I cleaned it it must have been stuck in the closed position but didn't throw up a light on the dash. I have taken the vacum hose off now and plugged it so it won't open and hey presto back to how it was before. If I leave I like this least I can stick the hose back on just before the MOT haha!! Nice Sean you will have a m4 for a few days they do look and sound very nice.

Well was at the galway rally over the weekend very wet and few cars off the road . 

Here few photo off 1 car .. 

 

What car you getting remaped ??

I have a e90 bmw 320d se 163ps. I'm having some trouble after the works been done think I may go back to a OEM filter think as now there a second when I put me foot down that it hesitates then the boost comes in!

Wow!!!! Now that I would say is the definition of a write off!! 

Well today day I have managed cleaned out my EGR valve, changed my air filter, crankcase breather filter/oil separator and fitted me new back box. Just got to do an oil change so it's all ready for next Saturday's remap!!

Hahaha that is brillant!!

Cheers mate. 

Where did you get your little lights on the fenders from Paul? Got meself some of the White metal fenders after seeing yours turn out so well but I don't have anything small enough to put on.

Do the tyres have siku on the sides Paul? I had one of these with out the loader, ended up taking the bonnet off and putting it on a uh 5480 instead as the wheels and tyres put me off it so much.

Arh so that's why you've not posted as much as usual then James haha!! Looks in good nick like smithy said you wanna take good care of that motor.

Cheers joe

No it's just a conversion As far as I know but not sure whether he was asked by jcb to make this model. He has some fantastic 3cx conversions tho type RCbedfordmodels on Facebook and you will see his page. He has just done a joal 3cx 50th and a pothole master too!!
