replacement print screen arrived for the printer today, took me a while to fit it ,but after doing the install tests all looks ok, so its fixed back in now, seal tapes on and a test prints running, my shortest one at 4 hours, half way through now and i have a print on the build plate, and its looking good so far .

whilst the printers down, i have been sorting the shed out ,new shelfs stuff like that, but i did manage to get the blue trailer done, this ones been stained with the wood in place and i have found it trys to warp the trailer when its wet, seems it expands more than i thought, have tried a slightly weaker stain this time as well, question is red versions stain or blue versions stain

new screen and light pack on its way, sent videos and all sorts to them in the technical dept as requested , and they agreed with the initial diagnosis made by their online chat guy ,uv lights on but way under powered, i have also got to add a new firmware when its fitted as well, i hope the instructions come in english when it all arrives is all i can say

No, they were produced by bloke who attended Toytrac. He used the simba parts for packer rollers. I had one of his fertiliser spreaders with a bag lifter. Can't remember his name but as far as Im aware he stopped modelling a few years ago.

know who you mean, but like you the names gone from my head, he did my scaledown plough conversion i have .

well that went well, seems my printer may well have an uv light issue, was fine saturday last weekend, put a print on sunday, nothing??? tried 3 others nothing, tried 2 others resins nothing. cleaned it all up and did a clean cycle with a skim of resin on a spare fep sheet i had , and noticed that i could not see the uv light with the lid closed, which i could when i have exposure tested and done a clean cycle before, and it failed to cure the resin on the sheet, opened the lid whilst it is on, tried again with a exposure test and clean cycle and its very dim?? bit like me some would say 😂😂😂 .so now waiting for a reply to my online chat and email to creality. thought it was going a bit to well 

If you go by some peoples comments else where the model can only be a 168 178 or 188  and only in 4wd format as its got its 4wd box inline , its about 3 mm in scale terms and an absolute ar5e to join the chassis , let alone re alinging  pipes ect if you do want to cut it out  to get a true 2wd chassis . So stick to the decals is what i say , shame that they didnt get the uk style mf flexi and delux cabs offered over Europe , we might just have got one then  at some point 

spent ten mins out the shed today,aiming to get the wood done, but it was way to cold, stained it up, marked it ect  but was taking ages to dry out, but i did managed to have a little test on one of the front loaders i printed, needs a bit of work on the bracket to fit the tractor, but it looks ok

If it was a kit to print, could you not reverse print the interior parts for rhd?

only a few have the internal bits, most are like above and one piece prints, no features, the ones as kits arecway to moden for me,but yes i guess you could do a new dash with some time and cad work 

been looking around on print sites and have found a good few ,non are free mind, the ones with open cabs all left hand drive, not tried to buy one yet, but do have at least one i fancy 1983 hilux,are you looking for something particular phil ?

managed to get some time in the shed today, so second trailer is all but done, the body is the revised one for better clearance when the sides drop, which all works fine now, but the tops one of the old ones so needed work to fit properly, have some new ones done but didnt want to waste them. blue is to dark ,sadly the seller sent me the wrong one despite me ordering it from the before, so a replacement is on its way free of charge. just the wood work to do now on it, currently working on decals for it now . which is harder than doing the cad stuff ,well for me😂😂

got a feeling some of the “cooper” stuff went through one of the m&m auctions a while back, a set of discs, trailer and a few other bits ,seem to remember it was listed as ron and micks in the description . have seen other bits in the past at shows as well

a very very good match for the uh mf red is revel italian gloss red mate,  its no34 in tins or 34134 in aerosol tins, us it all the time for the mf jobs

farmmodels.nl from memory paul, bit i think barry at udimores had them in stock as kits.

Does anyone know if the Agritechnica UH 1/32 Claas Variant 585RC can be ordered via dealers as they don't ship direct to the UK due to Brexit. Couldn't see it on the Claas website

if you have the part number then your local claas dealer should be able to get it i suspect.

testers all but done, need a rethink on the removable top as the fixing method hasn’t worked as i hoped, ,so bar a few alterations(made on tester no2 in the back ground) plus the top i am pretty happy with it so far

Looks very good Sean. The staining really elevates the look of the trailers.

thanks jack
