And any 3 pot Fords done by you . ? Hi Justin, yes my girlfriend convinced me to get in touch with Classic Tractor and get an article put in, must've been around 2008? Got a couple of orders for forward controls but they were a total nightmare to post! I was going to make 3 cylinder 4000-fours and 4600-fours but didn't get that far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway that you could then convert the technology and produce a resin version or even metal? Some of the mainstream manufacturers could learn a lot from you about accuracy that's for sure. Thanks Mike! Yes I reckon if it was all drawn out on CAD as wire framed 3D drawings then that could be used to produce models or even sent to a 3D printer. These are all drawn out in net form 2D, then cut out and folded into shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These card models are not a particular scale, they're roughly 6 inches in length, any smaller and things start getting trickier with paper card, especially making wheel rims, grain direction in the paper comes into play.

I don't have any immediate plans to go back to designing card models, even though I do enjoy the hobby it is every bit as laborious as building the diecast and plasticard models, and I definitely don't have the time for it anymore. It's actually even more time consuming as every part is designed and made over and over, at least with a Britains model, the most of it is already there to begin with!
