B O R Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 This is a few pics of real one that Lord Ferguson supplied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Started out with a bauer tanker but because of the square "shoulders" on the mf i had to fill out the sides square with filler and then sand them down,took about 5 fillings and sandings.Brass framework constructed and was awkward because i couldnt make it in one big piece,trying it on and making sure the axle would be the right height when fitted.

B O R Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 few more...2nd pic here was after a slight painting disaster,my 3rd coat and a different paint reacted to the 1st 2 coats so i had to sand down again,day was saved though,spent 2 hours trying frantically to save the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 more,the pump on this tank was made from a biro pen,modified heavily of course and the braking cables are fitted underneath..would have fitted the optional lighting kit mf offered but couldnt find pics of it anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 more,there is a 110 tanker which spreads from the top but i dont think ill be doing that one as theres not really a lot of detail in it,i preferred this one...there is also a 2000 gallon version of this model and it has tandem axles but basically same tanker but longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 you are most welcome Brian... to say you've done them justice is an understatement... superb work that man.. top job...

Lord Ferguson Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 1988,a greenland venture so theres a pottinger out therew the same,the 167 was 10ft cut and had the option of a grouper Ah... then sorry I don't think I'll have that information in my collection Brian.. I can do lots of earlier mowers... how about making a nice MF60 fingerbar mower or what about an MF70 drum mower (or the earlier MF51) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Not sure whether I can call you as model maker or an engineer now?! That's awesome! The detail around the backend is so good, even the pipe carriers look perfect! Nothing escapes your eye for detail does it?
