Jordan_coe2012 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Been wanting do do one of these for a while and finally picked up some decals from convo at the leamington show! Still a bit of work to do but not too far off. What I have done so far is: Removed the front axle made a new one and repositioned it. Added a set of rear wheels to the front. Widened the track width on the front so as I could make some brackets for the mud guards to sit on whilst still missing the front loader, (Yet to widen the rears). Changed the decals and added lines for a breaker to the back arm, also grabrails and lights onto the cab but need to add some mirrors and paint the lights.

Jordan_coe2012 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Nearly there got the mirrors on eventually and lights painted, track width changed and put back together. I have ordered some extendable legs for the rear I've also made a new bucket now for the front because the four in one now looks too small with the wider track, this is just a normal bucket now but will haveteeth on it when it's done! And this is the new bucket in the making put above to show the size difference!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uremoder Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Excellent looking work, just wondering where you sourced the extendable legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks. I got them off eBay his name is beddy*03 they were a little expensive but I don't have any paint to match the yellow and by the time ive got a can of paint thats a tenner, so thought might aswell get those pre-made.

Jordan_coe2012 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Little update my teeth and legs turned up today. The legs I must say are we're well worth the money built very well and hold the model up too even though it is rather heavy. Still a lot to do yet but here's what's done so far...

uremoder Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I searched the seller but couldn't find the legs, they look great, mod model is turning out really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thank you uremoder. I may have bought his last pair as llke you say there not there anymore. There made from brass and the foot is firmly secured to the leg so would highly recommend if they pop up again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uremoder Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'll keep an eye out, it'll be the final touch for my 3cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Haha cheers mark. Well after knocking off both wing mirrors and rail several time now I have decided the wire I used it not strong enough so I have made some from brass today stuck those on, painted teeth and rear arm back on! Keep knocking the mudguards off to so may have to think of another way to put those on securely! And nod next a 3cx for comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
