Some new stuff at the stranded 

The John Deere 4960 (4955 in UK) will be a good addition - plenty of scope for conversion - 4850/5 etc

International 445 & 445D conventional baler.

Stunning John!!!! 😯

Didn't realise that was the case, (tweak a shape or a size) and I suppose the very fact that something is many times smaller than the real thing, can alter the perspective - and how we perceive/view it, so it does make sense.

That said - some of the high end models state on the box - "exact scale replica", so in that case you would expect them to have gone off dimensions alone? 

Interesting subject - perhaps not quite as simple as getting the dimensions correct, although from a scratch building point of view - dimensions is the main goal.

Interesting info James.

Thanks for the time/effort posting. 

Being a bit of a scale freak, l often cross check a models dimensions against the actual dimensions....and it seems quite rare for models to be bang on scale. A little out, l can understand - but sometimes they can be a few percent out, which when advertised as a given scale (say 1:32) l think is unacceptable, especially given the price of models now.

Slightly off topic - but it will be interesting to see the difference in size, between the Britains MF 760 combine, and the UH one (if it appears..) as the Britains one (in most aspects) is more 1:35-1:36 scale.

Again, absolutely stunning 😲

Would love an hour or two walking around that yard, looking at all those classics!!

Keep them coming John.

finally got back to a bit of printing ,and something i have wanted to do for a while,one one james resin ford d series, printed chassis, with working steering, and a drop side tipper, which will have a couple of runs round of greedy boards as well, ,we did have one of these(single axel) for a few years before we bought a leyland constructor for our grain wagon, so a little artistic imagination here, but the body's much the same  .nothings fixed yet, just a mock up to make sure i have all the dimensions right .

Liking that a lot Sean, Classic 70's Farm Grain truck. Excellent job. Look forward to seeing it finished - Your MF or JD combine unloading into it!!

Did you print the wheels yourself?

Absolutely brilliant!!

All stunning, and as for the Ransome - it is on another level John!!

Yes your right. In the 6X range its

2000 Dexta 

3000 Super Dexta 

4000 Major 

5000 Super Major. 

If true ... Its a long time coming for a Ford 3 cyl.. But I'd still prefer if it were the 4000 that was being done. 😁 and I think personally the 4000 would be a much bigger hit and seller than the smaller 2. 

 

Be great if they do a bring out a 2000, and like wise, l would probably prefer a 4000.

That said, a 2000 would be a good base model, as the 2000-4000 all had the same tin work (dash panel/bonnet/nose cone)

Fingers crossed UH actually bring it to the market.....

Brilliant stuff James!!!

Looking forward to seeing this progress.

Another excellent build James. Love the look of them old TM's.

Regarding wheels/tyres - 3D seems to be coming into its own. Few years back - wheels seemed to be one of the big problems when scratch building - basically hope a donor model would have something close to what was required, or if you wanted a not so common size - get one of the specialists to produce one in alloy and rubber (which seemed to require a long wait, and could be relatively expensive).

Keep up the good work!

Excellent build.

Master pieces John!

Stunning work, the detail you put in gets better and better.

Been waiting to see these finished, and they certainly don't disappoint!!

That is a top quality job, well done 👍

Thanks for that Jan.

Looks really good.

Looking forward to seeing it finished, with the cab.

Regards

John.

Hi all,

 

Working on the Caterpillar D8H, and in between the Landini-project, the process continues in a slow but steady speed.

At the moment the body is finished, cab was already finished, but i need to do the last step; airbrushing and assembling the tracks. Each single part needs to be primered and painted in yellow before assembling and mounting to the body. When assembling the tracks some small pieces of paint are falling off, and thus there's the need to "repair damage" after mounting. So after mounting, the yellow has to be finished locally, and as a final finish the laquer has to be sprayed. I think it is wise to cover the body before re-spraying yellow and laquer, but first the last pieces of tracks need to be done. Each side covers 42 pieces.............

But okay, here's a view of one side mounted, the other will follow in time, but enjoy with me the current status as shown here.

 

 

Best regards,

Jan

That looks excellent.

What scale is it? And who makes them (l assume it is made up in kit form?).

Thanks.

Brilliant!!

Brilliant!

Another great insight James. 

From the start of the process/the organisation through to the final product, top job!!

Something to be extremely proud of.

That would be a beast in 1:32!

Very nice additions there Smithy 👍

They are absolutely brilliant!!

Keep them coming!

Absolutely stunning!!!!!!

Fantastic.

Those evening shots, l'm in the field!!

I handed my dissertation in a week ago on Thursday signifying the end of five years at Harper Adams University studying for a Masters in Automotive Engineering (Off-Highway) . I will have to wait until September to find out how I've done. 

Equally I started work on Monday for Bradley's Group which is proving to be fun and interesting. Some of the kit in being worked on at the moment. 

 

l'm sure all the hard work and study will be more than worth it James.

Well done, and all the best in your new job.
