B O R Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 brass being the main material and yes plastic is needed to obtain the shapes.....people often ask me where do i begin and the answer is that every known machine has a frame,you have to either find that frame and copy it or estimate it if it cant be seen and scale your machine and then work inwards,measuring what you think is the correct size for the model frame and then start working out with your material,gaining the shapes along the way....i believe to make a good model one shouldnt need another model to copy off,instead he should be able to copy off the real machine and this is where you gain know how from machine to machine,but a frame must be built for every model and here i use brass for strenght and i wouldnt know another material that would make it possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 and ive just finished building the 2x red NEW HOLLANDS today....a 719 and 819 in red for the same customer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 and here are the red 719 and 819 sitting next to my later yellow 819...when building these models i noticed a few tiny differences in the red and later yellow models,mainly the positioning of the wheels.....these are a difficult model to build and the red version even more difficult as it has to be painted in seperate parts being red and yellow as opposed to the later yellow..

B O R Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 and here,s a sneak preview of another ***** of a build.ive done this pushoff buckrake for the front of a tractor for myself,its built from scratch in all brass..i was kicking myself today for not picturing it before it got primered as it looked even more complicated...i wouldnt be building another pushoff as the time involved is serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 ive painted the pushoff today and 5 stoneforks,so i think ive only the 4ft versions left now for sale............in 3 weeks ill be releasing a new range of models entirely.....
