Thank you 😀

Thank you smithy i couldn’t find anything else that suited anyway the originals just didn’t look right

Tried a 2wd conversion of a 3080 , front axle off a 188 with Britains case wheels. The rears are off a Britains Renault cergos but they are probably a bit big

That is very nice Paul

Finished a few tweaks too my 3400. Seems to be a good base just took me a while to get there

Really enjoying this keep it coming 👍

Nice bit of kit, exactly the same as the one I have just got, good luck with soil mapping if you are attempting it though!

Thank you, yes I feel it needs a sprayer on it , I’m trying to fit a Britains everard to it

Just finished a 5610 with rears off a tecnoma sprayer I dropped🙄

Is there any release date for the mb trac

Cheers Dan

Thank you Alastair 😀

Thank you James a little bit here and there not too bad

Blimey even the different coloured side panels that is awesome John very realistic

Thank you very much John

Thank you jack, I’m trying to cover the back drop up a bit not 100% on it it’s a bit boring

Haha, my patients was starting to fray by that point. Not paint brushes no, but the girlfriends horse is a bit cold now

A few months of building here and there I have finally finished my thatch barn… I have used plumbers hemp dipped in wood glue in small bundles and stuck straight onto the rafters, and balsa for the main structure. It is based on traditional Wiltshire barn building methods.

They look awesome James , that’s exactly what those series land rover’s needed! If you ever go into production I would definitely be very interested 👍

Slowly getting there… I’ve found you have to be rather quick soldering the smaller parts (like bonnet catches) as they tend to melt with the iron on 300. I have also performed the drop test in which it did quite well🙄

Cheers jack I need to get some proper lights in it though

Decided to invest in a display cabinet…

After re reading this thread to remember how to do it, I’m having another crack at soldering. I’m trying it on an old scaledown model which is a lot easier ( especially with instructions thank you Zac ) which should be a bit simpler the traction engine I started this topic on, of which I have progressed no further and is now back in its box. Nevertheless here is a start on the tractor…The two sides of the main casting and rear together… The iron, flux and metal

Neat job👌

Thank you Very Much for all the replies chaps , just what I needed Zac, excellent thank you👍 That is very interesting Nigel, I was aware don't worry! I've built a couple of your ones and I have to say the quality is far superior compared to this kit. I'm attempting white metal soldering , I will put it in a Different thread. Ted
