844john Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 The wheels are off an old Britains Ford 5000 Nigel, just because they were handy, but I intend to cast the ones off the UH 135 as the rims are correct. When i made the original 475 I tried bending the bonnet, but i gave up after a few attempts as i could never get the curve to look right, so it was made up square and the filed/sanded to get the shape I was after.

844john Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 A bit more done on the 454, which is going to be an early model with the swept-back front axle and just the roll frame, and also a start on a loader for one of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 some serious effort going into these, and some serious bits of kit coming out of the work, whilst i would be far more interested in the ford your doing,, i am not overly familiar with the early ih stuff , these do look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 That 454 is stunning well they are all stunning thats how many ild like also a 454 low boy ref.

I've wanted to build my collection of these nashes for a while now, just never got round to doing it. I haven't forgotten the Ford though, hopefully some progress on that is imminent!

Mike tenby roar of dust and diesil book it was built for motorway verges in yellow had a front horseshoe window frame sat very low for slopes This is just the tip of the iceberg Nigel now that I've got started! I've already had similar thoughts about that conversion done by Cripps, would be something a bit different Looking at it I think it's based on a 374 or a 444, certainly one of the Bradford built nashes judging by the position of the diesel tank and style of the exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 A bit more done on the 674, front axle started (although this one is going to be a 4wd), front weight frame with detachable weights and the higher cab roof. Also a bit of progress with the loader one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your doing the casts are you doing two halves or a full piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to work out how you can do it as a full piece without destroying the cast..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 First couple of attempts at casting the rims separately and the tyres in rubber, they're a bit like the film, some good, some bad and some ugly! However, hopefully learning from my mistakes as i go along, and it must make painting the wheels a lot easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I've just seen your previous post, the rubber for the tyres is different to the stuff you use to make the moulds from, price wise i believe it's similar to the resin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
