Jordan_coe2012 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Well I've ordered my four in one from Mr Irwin and whilst looking round for some bits to make this version I asked someone for spare can turns out he's already made one and it's fantastic. His Facebook page is RCbedfordmodels There's more pics on there but he's one of his pics its just brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 As my stuff turned up this week and the missus has been out all day today I've cracked on with making a 70years 3cx. So far I have made the rear legs, extending boom on the rear arm, painted the four in one wheels cab and buckets. Although the pics on the net doesn't show a quick hitch, it is piped for a hammer so I have added one to mine so as I can put a hammer on it. The cab is terrible so I will be doing that again tried masking and spraying it but that didn't work so I think il do it free hand instead. I've still got lines to put on the rear arm and to the rams on the front finish, off the wheels , add a data tag and some chevrons to the rear legs, wing mirrors and lights. So here's what I have done so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use some square brass tube to make it. It's hard to explain how I did it haha I understand what I'm saying but when I read it back it sounds so confusing but I'll try though. Right if you look at the last pic you can just see where I cut most of one side out of the outer tube this allows you to then slide the smaller one inside and glue the bit which the Rams attached to on the smaller tube inside the bigger tube. Once that has set the smaller tube will slide in and out but won't come out as the bit you glue on hits the outer tube at the end of the arm. Hope you can understand it haha!!

Jordan_coe2012 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Got a lot more done to this now I've added the lines, wing mirrors and grab rails, added decals to the stabalizers and tried to neaten up the cab abit. Still a few bits left to do yet but here it is near enough finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford/nh fan Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Job are doing a model of this but it's a little expensive for a model only 100 being built . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I see there's no mention of scale,!! Regards Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Going off the shape of the steps and rear hitch it looks to be the Britains 3cx so 1/32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford/nh fan Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Shame it's such a hefty price tag . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 looks to me like the britains version,so buy the standard one and respray it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 At that low a number I suspect that is all jcb are doing, got someone like convo to spray them up, lot cheaper than britains having stuff made like a white cab frame and red buckets / wheel hubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I would say that it would be the guy I mentioned in earlier posts as he specialises in 3cx's He's just released a 5cx convo and he's also made this pothole master too and it definitely is a britains from that pic. Also the front grill needs to be yellow instead of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 5 hours ago, MadMark said: A lot of money for a dab of paint and a couple of decals True but you could say the same for a 4 figure paint job on a real vehicle. I suppose theres a lot of time in deconstructing and prepping each model as all the rivets have to be drilled out to paint individual components and then put back together unless they're being plucked off the production line before assembly. £260 for a model that's very close to being a toy is still rather steep though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_coe2012 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 That's true James as you can not get that shape with yellow hydraulic cylinders, I had to get an older shape and swap them all the over which was time consuming and the cab is a mare to paint too but that's probably down to me not being vey good at masking!!
