cheers james, as much as that woods not cheap it really does finish the trailers off, especially the ransomes ones, look just like the brouchure pics, have two more 6 ton ones primed up now, ,but the workshop heater didnt arrive today,so top coats on hold.need to decide on this timber or my cheaper option of the stained stuff for the final ones

They're coming to life with paint on Sean, have to admit I didn't think it would be possible to print what you've made, very impressive
neither did i, certainly wasnt possible on the ender 9 fdm one. they are basically made out of 4 different prints,almost an airfix kit i guess.takes me about an hour to assemble them prior to paint, took an hour nearly to do just that planking ,so no way is that a selling option,the wood isnt that cheap at 25 odd quid either ,hence the other options being tested out

Omg.... brilliant. Where would I be able to get one of these?
you wont, sadly, i have only made this one, and wont be making another ,as per all 3 of my combine builds, they take ages to do,and i only have weekends to do it

splash of ransomes orwell blue,and some white gloss on the wheels and tamiya rubber black on the tyres, tyres went on really well despite the depth of the treads, which is good. a d finally seeing as these two will be mine, started some timber, if i sell some(5 ready to paint) they wont have this, its very time consuming to fit,and not cheap either compared to the other option

the hardest bit of hydrogen i recon is making it, the project down here is a fair size, tanks being installed in yards, all underground, new tankers to transport it from the main depot to the sites, and 6000 odd vans being made. clearly they think its possible to be investing in it. our lot are sadly going leccy, nothing on the market yet that can deal with the distances we do, and more importantly the payload we need to carry all the kit,the best so far is the e-transit, but thats only 125 miles loaded they recon, and the load is only 300kg, which is barely enough to carry the roadworks guarding and barriers we need, let alone the items to build the network ,(current derv ones are 1200kg ish with the racking fitted) .theres talk of bare bodys in the back, but then we can not secure the loads properly or the expensive items we have like testers and splicers .the guys with the current ones (vauxhal varios,175kw) are constantly limited due to mileage limits, they all seem to be stuck in charging stations or queues for one. i know at present i can not have a leccy car at home ,as the network and substation that feeds the area can not cope with any more ,cables are to small to the houses and in between, so a huge capital expenditure to get it done . i think hydrogen will work, but again its outlay to get a network .

looks a tidy print, is it all one piece or in parts for the body? nice to see some cornish engineering being done.

bmw are also ditching the full electric route and heavily investing in hydrogen as well, its basically nothing more that a different fuel tank,which can fit the current places , and a top end change of the engine, for gas injectors rather than liquid, so very little investment in new parts, as the bottom end of the engine and rest of the parts are all standard on the market bits.
apparently there is a company setting up a hydrogen plant and refuling stations down this way for a big utillity company,not us ,who run 6000 odd vans, as they are going that way in a partnership with ford .
electric will have its place, prob for short distance commuters moped’s ,even motorbikes ?? but for most people ,commercials and construction hydrogen is the only decent way forward giving ranges we need ,a quick fill up when empty and work times

i only ever saw one real one, was a few years after i started work, out kingsbridge way ,buried in a mass of brambles, doubt it had moved in years ,hence why i eventually made on, would have been no3 of the combines i made, my pride and joy mf625 super 2 was first, followed by a jd975, then this.have other stuff drawn out ready to go, but never had time to do them

I can't find a tutorial for tyres useing Designspark mechanical for cleated rears, there is a Russian guy with two but with no narration, And he seems to make a mistake and backtrack. so no good, three ribbed fronts are easy if you can get the dimentions, as are wheels, this guy on Cults does a fair few 1/25th scale tyres, and rescaleing those is simple enough, he is a link to some of them, Cults can be very busy and slow, These are mainly tractor pulling tyres, but worth a look, maybe better early morning before America wakes up,

i managed to get 3 rib fronts by mistake doing the trailer wheels, so nice and easy to do, sure i will get rears done to when i need to, have some nice mf1200/50 rims done now, so will need tyres at some point .
