LeeRoebuck Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi everyone, dont post as much as I would like too but thought i'd share this with you all. The model started from a UH factory second, the model didn't survive the roughs seas from china so had all sorts of bits missing and falling off so i thought it was a good idea to get the dremmel on it. That was 2008 and after sitting on my workshop table for all that time i finally got around to finishing it this week. The hopper of the drill is styrene sheet with some bits robbed from the donor Lemken drill. The new platform for the cab is styrene too with steel guard rails. The lemken unit can be removed to leave just the saddle trac as i did plan on making the Kaweco tanker. Just waiting on the lemken and Solitair 10 stickers to turn up and i'll finally have the space back on my workshop table. Cheers Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. Cheers, lovely use of the word Claas! cracking piece of work. Do you have anything else planned to put on it? Not at the minute, I'm busy with a couple of models for chaps on here plus theres the scratch building competition which i still hope to enter. To be honest i'm not sure why UH haven't already brought out the Saddletrac already. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyjack590 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 looks brilliant well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The bin?!! Looking at this I am sure no matter what gets thrown in the bin you could make something good out of it. In my bin I have some potato peelings, a silver foil tray, the lid from a jar of cooking sauce and a crisp packet. Shall I send it to you?! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
