Stabliofarmer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 They are superb Jason, loving the rust on the old 3C III. Can't wait to see the rest of your photos up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS. Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Where did you get the tilt rotators from? Or did you make them yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcn330 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi there, HS. I made them myself. The one on the rubber duck is made from parts of a joal valet timber harvester cab assembly. Will get more pics and details up later tonight Cheers for the comments guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcn330 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hey guys As promised...... 86c added pipe work and offset boom ram also did a bit of weathering JS330 added pipe work grab rails and weathered also fitted metal tracks 3Cmk111 weathered, built extradig and fitted working 4-in-1 Next my 4cx Eco cut down front bucket linkage as the original is wrong, fitted working 4in1 and rear q/h Then a couple of misc pics Any questions don't hesitate to ask 👠Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 These are great Jordan some really nice work on the weathering and the buckets, are there plans for a layout in the future? It may seem an odd question but if possible what is the length from the front of the cab to the very rear of body on the rubber duck and the width of the body? also the same for the JS330? just pondering over this at the moment https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CCKRQy7UMAA2Q7Y.jpg:large Thanks in advance.

Hi James It's not jordan this time ha ha! I'll get exact measurements asap but in my opinion for that machine you'd be better off with the rubber duck. It's modelled on the js200w which is essentially a js220 (the machine actually on the truck). The original rubber duck is very basic but a good base model. Mine has the cab from the new 330 and I modified the bonnet to lower it. Thinking about doing another on tracks very soon. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Ooops haha, sorry Jason. Thanks very much, the cab is the main thing bothering me as it makes it look a lot older, how did you find it swapping the cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcn330 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 James, It's relatively easy to be honest take the top body off and unscrew old cab screw new cab on there's a bit of cutting of the body involved but nothing major. Could even go to the lengths of adding a hydraulic raising cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Ahh right, I was worried there were some complex bits of cutting. The raising cab would be a definite. What other models do you have planned then? Welcome to the forum by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcn330 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks mate Don't know what I've got planned to be honest just whatever comes to mind at the time ha ha always got something on the workbench 1/32 or 1/50. do fancy making a JS220 though.

Jcn330 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well this week I acquired an older 3cx from the forums own Jordan Coe. The model arrived and already had hammer pipe work, 4in1 and rear q/h with buckets. On its arrival I shortened the front bucket links and made a hammer to fit on the pipe work. Thanks to Jordan for packing and sending so quickly! Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
