JCB BLOKE Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 This is a ScaleDown kit that I thought I would have a bash at making, but with the addition of a Winsam cab. The kit wasn't too much of a challenge as I have been making them for some years, but the cab was going to have to be scratch built. I had four pictures of Winsam cabs to work from, but unfortunately I couldn't get a complete 360 degree view of the cab, so much of the work had to be done from guess work and 'guestimation'.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Wow, if that's "guestimation" you clearly have one heck of an eye Damien, that looks absolutely brilliant. Hope you don't mind me posting these in here, but here's photographs of a newer Nuffield 10/60 fitted with a Winsam cab I found at Driffield Steam Fair back in 2008. Regards David.

Seriously though it is a bit of their bed that is just an old duvet cover - Tasmanian Devil actually.
