Progress. Also in the process of getting the next 3 cut

With time off over Easter I have finally got this up. Its looking a little cleaner now after a wash and the rain we've just had and abit straighter after I remembered to screw in the bottom two screws either side of the door. Just got to clad the walls on the inside now and I can move everything farm related in.

Looks cracking Sean, the tip angle seems fine, most muck would even start to slide out at that angle so a bit of cake or grain would be fine. As for a donkey Dave Twose makes a nice resin engine although it may be a little small http://www.britainstoyfarm.net/100460/info.php?p=9&pid=3157385&ack=9 or a scratch built Lister would look good too

Haha thanks Barry, while you had a pair of scissors we have a pair of laser cutters No computer programing just drawing in the design to scale like you'd draw a picture on paint or publisher. At my school we use a program called techsoft 2d design to do this.

Think this is the correct topic for this? After speaking with a teacher at school and Marshall trailers I've got permission to use my schools laser cutter to create 6 Marshall QM 1400 silage/grain trailers. 1 is to go to the Marshall factory and the other 5 sold, most likely around £60 Anyway this is the laser cut frame. All that has to be added are the sides and floor sheets What do you think? James

Very nice indeed, is that the siku truck or is it newray?

Exactly James, for £1500 I don't think there's and I quote 'to many to mension' (spelling mistakes too). If I was shelling out that much id want to know exactly what I was buying and the condition of every item.

Those outdoor shots are cracking Jack real summer evening feel to them

Would have liked to have seen that Sean, my mum ran a few 6 & 8 wheeler leylands so a typical tipper of that era would be nice to see.

Pounced on the dry weather and got some flags laid ready for a new shed dedicated to model farms.

Oooh very nice Sean

Thanks Jordan, casting my own wheels keeps the cost down more than anything

Got the chassis and wheels painted up now James

Using up some materials left lying around. A small wooden silage trailer, not based on any model in particular but would probably say it rates between 6 and 9 tons. What do people think so far? I think it will be weathered up to look like its been left in the corner of a yard for a number of years hence the dodgy paint work so far. James

The trailer looks great Uremoder, something a bit different. Any other plans for the truck?

that's it thanks, some interesting kit around your yard then

Looks good Sean but what's that sat in the shed on the right?

Those tyres suit the JCB very well, are they aluminium centres? No problems with the trailer this time either?

I can't even see them bothering with disk, the number of people with smartphones now would suggest brochures will just come on QR readers with little stickers on machines at shows or on websites

I have some of the same problems Sean but on windows 7 so that rules out the windows 8 problem. However I don't have the problem with safari

This display wouldn't have anything to do with that rather nice BT county at Penrith would it John?

Ya lucky bugger for half your car insurance to be £250. I was speaking to a friend who's just gone 17 and was quoted £5000 for a Suzuki Jeep!!! Was that using one of these comparison sites?

Steel isn't solderable is it?

If your back on your bike you might want to try some larger tyres say 26'' or more? Can't beat a great mountain bike

Much like on model railways then just I dont think they usually have a cover they're just kept open. Funny seeing the tractors driving on vertical walls
