Agrium Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Been wanting to do this for ages, both britians (1135) anmd Siku (2150) aren't right, so I began getting bits and pieces together. Im heavily modifying the britains chassis as the main frame, then using a mixture of other JCB bits and pieces and I'll make the bits I cant get donors for. Pics to follow of current progress.

Agrium Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Not really the first picture I wanted to put on here, its moved on a bit since these were taken its in the early stages of layout. Siku bonnet, Britians 718 Dump cab and Siku roof on a Britians 1135 chassis. Only the top half of the chassis though, Im adding detail to it and also filling in the undercuts ;) Going for 4WS, just to be easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrium Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 small update, started building up the brackets for the front suspension and streamlined the chassis. Made some jewel headlights with frame around. managed to find a 3rd angle drawing and scale it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajo Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Looking good! I once repainted a Siku JCB Fastrac into the Dutch LMF-colours, just for show use. Some other tyres to go with it, Henry Walker made me the new transfers. It even has the (old) logo on the roof. In the near future I will begin a new project with a Fastrac, a foresty model with crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
