Hi guys,

I am looking at scratch building a 1/16 scale subsoiler, however most of the plastruct etc. styrene doesn't really fit with the scale as i'm needing 10mm square solid plastruct strips. Does anybody know anywhere that may do these larger sizes? failing that I may have to look at the brass option but don't really want to go down that road.

Have Britains released any more photos of this beauty? really looking forward to its release.

Britains look like they may be taking a nice step forward with this model.

Just ordered some humbrol model filler, seems like its ideal fo the job. 

Thanks for some ideas, they arn't masive gaps but will stick out like a sore thumb after some paints put on it.

Hi all, i've got a few gaps to fill in some plastruct joints, whats the best thing to use that can be sanded smooth afterwards?

Nick

lovely cheers mate, They may well be just the job then.

Sound good value to me, just out of curiosty does anyone know what diameter the Britains Marston trailer wheels are?

They look spot on!! Cheers Tractorman, i'll drop him a line and see what he says, thanks again.

These are the types of wheels I'm after if anybody has any suggestions? can't seem to find anything anywhere.

hadn't thought about those, but not sure if the tread will be right?

Has any body got any ideas where I may be able to get hold of some 2wd wheels approx. 3cm in diameter? I've tried the Britains JD 4020 wheels and they are a bit small, they are for a John Deere 5830 Self propelled Forager i'm building, so ideally don't want them to be too skinny.

Cheers mate, I'm sure I read somewhere to use Epoxy but I couldn't remember where i'd seen it 

Still haven't got round to building the kit, now we've finished drilling i've got a bit more time. Anybody know what glue is best to use for these kits?

Lovely Cheers guys

Hi,

Whats the best glue to use to glue plastruct to metal?? Any Ideas??

Nick

That is yet another fantastic scratch build Gav, well done mate!

Hi all,

Does anybody know if the Siku Claas Markant baler is capable of spitting out bales like the britains balers??

Nick

Great pics! any chance of some more of your Massey drill?

Absolutely cracking conversion!!! are you making them to order??

I love the Kuhn version  :o   Will you be selling these to order? or only at the shows?

Thanks greensheet, I've still got lots of fiddly bits to do to it, then it'll be ready for painting

It's very similar to the Taarup version but made by a company called Solus , think its from the 80's??

Been building this on and off not quite finished yet but its nearly there, its a side tipping forage harvester trailer that can tip into a lorry.

We had one on demo for drilling, it was fine in the field but on the road you feel every bump, not good for your back
