Geoffrey Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I decided to make a topic about building my custom build slurry tankers. I sold a couple of models for the LCN modelfari in Zwolle. I started building a part of them allready. I started building the chassis of the Veenhuis 9.500L slurry tanker. ( see link http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,30386.0.html ) After a bit of glue Making the brackets/fittings for the drawbar on the Proxxon sawtable ( the best investment of this year !! ) on the chassis And with the drawbar on there.

Deere-est Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Wow you must have quite an order book for all these models 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Very nice to see how you build those tankers. Will they get a injector behind? Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 i got quite some orders indeed Tris There are 3 tankers who Will get an injector behind them, Those 2 are for myself, and one for Ronnie (eicher3108 on the forum). Its just to much work for the money is charge extra for an injector. i can't charge 125 euros extra over an tanker for a small injector. But when i count up my hours, material, paint an details, I'm well over the kind of money. So that's why i don't sell my tankers them with injector.

Deere-est Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Wow, you have been a busy man Geoffrey!! I can see a lot of work going into your models and I am sure lots of people will be very happy to own one. A friend of mine works for a contractor and they have just imported a Veenhuis tanker/injector from a dealer in Belgium I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I got a lot of work don one the VVT 400's, the tanks and the fronts are all sprayed in filler and wet sanded with 1000 grid sanding paper. After that i start to assemble the parts into the whole machines. The front and tanks are numbered because the are painted in differtend colors. top half yellow, bottom half black. I'm building a sixed one for my own collection. I allready got the one with the round tank, VVT build one of the 400-4's with a square tank. So I'm building that model as well for my own collection of VVT's A LOT of work has gone in that tank to make it right with all the angels.

Deere-est Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Big ones! I didn't realise they were different Ropa tyres, I thought one was a small set off something else and one was a larger set - off of a Ropa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
