wow ! That look really good mate !

I build this Veenhuis model last weekend. Got the decals yesterday and finished detail the model today. The tank it self is the same size as the yellow ones. This is a simpler "farmer version" with not as much fancy stuff.

The real Veenhuis ecovac, with the old style fillingarm and decals. My'n is build with the new style decals en fillingarm

A hand build John Deere 4755 from Ronnie Post in front of the tanker. pretty nice setup 

Thanks guys  !!  should have pointed out that here both Ropa tires. I'm going with the big ones ! I can use those small tires on other project  so no problem there. I got the big ones in yesterday and modivied them to fit the steering axles of the VVT.

Got some more work on them done. I hope to spray them with primer this weekend.

@ Britainsfan:

I got one of those Proxxons. It makes building so much easier, can't imagine working without it any more !!

I'm not to sure about the tires. maybe you guys can help me out. The small ore the big Siku Ropa tires ?

The small ones:

Ore the big ones?

The VVT's are getting there. Just some more details to add and there ready for the first layers for primer

The VVT with the box tank for my own collection is ready for primer, this model is not for sale:

The won't allow me. Only tractors. no trucks. The 3500 and 4500 will be there though 

My new additions to the collection:

Big Bud 16V 747, 760pk Original Factory Edition from Die-cast promotions

Big Bud 16V 747, 900pk Modern Field Editions from Die-cast promotions

Fiat/New Holland 110-90 from Repica ACA

Fiat/New Holland 110-90 from Ros

Fiat 110-90 from Ros

I got the big A's done today. All the decals and details are in place. Only need to finish up the muckspreader for the 4500 and the fertilizer spreader for the 3500.

I got a lot of work don one the VVT 400's, the tanks and the fronts are all sprayed in filler and wet sanded with 1000 grid sanding paper. After that i start to assemble the parts into the whole machines. The front and tanks are numbered because the are painted in differtend colors. top half yellow, bottom half black.

I'm building a sixed one for my own collection. I allready got the one with the round tank, VVT build one of the 400-4's with a square tank. So I'm building that model as well for my own collection of VVT's  A LOT of work has gone in that tank to make it right with all the angels.

I got some work done. Build 15 chassis for the 14000L tankers, And got a lot of work done on the VVT 400-4's. the chassis, tanker ( 3 of the 5 still need sanding ) an front are allmost done. 5 of them will have the 16.000L tanker, on of them ( for my own collection ) wil heb be having a 21.000L tank on it.

And the chassis for the 14.000L tankers.

I gues i found a couple of your Youtube movies Lawesy.

I did some detailing tonight. They just turned out great. I used a different kind of paint from Motip. It's a bit more expensive, but it gifs a superb result i think.

Both the 4500 & 3500

The 4500

And the smaller 3500

How about some paint

The convayer is all made of poly. small 1x1mm profiles glued on a 0.5 piece of sheet poly. Looks like the real deal 

That's a silage truck Tris. A cheap toytruck in 1:32 scale completely rebuild with some added details. I'm allso rebuilding a Claas Jaguar 900 green eye in USA style. and a silage box for behind a tractor you can see in the back. I'll make a topic when the models are finnished 

Time for an update. The manure spreader for the 4500 is finished. Only some small details to add. You can get those manure spreaders in allmost every color, I had some left over NH blue, i think it will look pretty good with the yellow machine.

Did some work this morning on the 4500, Build the dry spreading box, handrails and added some details.

4500 & 3500 

Time for an update 

i started building the smaller 3500 as well. She's 73cm shorter in wheelbase than the 4500 ( 3.73 - 3.00 m ) This model also has a differtent bonnet and different stairs and platform where the cab sits on. Both machines are fully build out of poly, except for the siku tires and Joal steeraxles.

I'm gonna build the 3500 with a Barber Engineering fertilizer spreader with a 40 ft boom. The boom folds the same way as the real deal.

and folded up

i got work enough building the tankers as the are befor November this year. let alone buiding another 50 injectors 

i got quite some orders indeed Tris 

There are 3 tankers who Will get an injector behind them, Those 2 are for myself, and one for Ronnie (eicher3108 on the forum). Its just to much work for the money is charge extra for an injector. i can't charge 125 euros extra over an tanker for a small injector. But when i count up my hours, material, paint an details, I'm well over the kind of money. So that's why i don't sell my tankers them with injector.

i bought them from Herni Walker ( Walker parts ) this is the first shipment. there are 30 more sets to follow, for different tankers i have to build

Also building some VVT 400-4's Started out with six of them ( see link http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,30385.0.html )

Started out with the chassis and the frame where the cab mounts on.

Some Siku Ropa tires 

I decided to make a topic about building my custom build slurry tankers. I sold a couple of models for the LCN modelfari in Zwolle. I started building a part of them allready.

I started building the chassis of the Veenhuis 9.500L slurry tanker. ( see link http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,30386.0.html )

After a bit of glue

Making the brackets/fittings for the drawbar on the Proxxon sawtable ( the best investment of this year !! )

on the chassis

And with the drawbar on there.

Superb job mate !

The cab problem is sorted out already. were going for a more high tech way of building for the cab.

Yes Wil, i got started on it pretty soon. Thanks for those brochures again!

To bad Tris, i won't build that Terra Gator. There are 3 modelbuilders here in the area, Ronnie Post, who is all so a member on this forum. he is the tractor, and SPFH builder of the 3, Than we got Richard van der Veen, he builds Verveat, Vredo an Terra Gator self propelled manure spreaders. and the thired, myself, i build Veenhuis machines and USA style models. like this Big A spreader. We all build in our own area of models, and we help eachother out were ever we can. Than there a fourth party, Johan Bos, he does a lot of CNC milling for the 3 of us out of poly. and is our R&D department so to speak 

Thanks for the link ! This only works with thicker plastic. I need to bend 1mm in a exact radius. If been trying out some stuf tonight, but i think i'm getting the hang of it

My new project, FINALY not a Veenhuis ( it was about time  )

There is a contractor near by that runs a couple of Big A's, I was at a model fair a moths ago someone sold me 3 brochures of Big A equipment. So i started the build of the biggest one. the 4500 yesterday. The cab is a bit of a problem. is has some round shapes in it that are pretty hard to build out of poly. I used some poly piping, but it's still not how i want it to be. Anyway, the photos

A photo of the real machine.

and the 1:32 scale model 4 wheel steering and a hand build V8 engine.
