844john Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 I was never happy with my attempt at the front grill for these tractors, and although the quality of Henri's decal was excellent, it was just too one dimensional for me, so I've had another go at making and casting the grills for the 74, 84 and 85 series. It has been a real test of eye sight, dexterity and patience (not usually my strong point), but i think with a bit more practice at painting them they shouldn't be too far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 An old girl that's seen rather a hard life, I hasten to add that it is not modelled on one of our tractors, although the wife did say it would fit in well with one of the neighbours gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thanks Nigel, finally getting to grips with casting has helped enormously, allowing me to cover several ranges of International and CaseIH's that i would like to build. If anyone is interested in a particular model just give me a shout and if I can help out I will...I'm not starting a production line, but an extra one here and there can't make that much difference!

844john Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 First batch not far off now, just some door handles, mirrors, pipework for the loader and a few other bits and bobs to finish, but nice to see them finally coming together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I've often fancied doing a small dio of a period stand at an agricultural show with a few tractors, baler, muck spreader etc, just one more thing I've not gotten around to yet!

Maybe better pop to S&A for some more plywood for the base then Martin, I don't think I'd fit all that on the 4 x 2 bit I've got left down the shed!

Yes, I've already made a start (well, plans anyway) for several international implements from that era to go with the tractors, unfortunately they are well down my list at the moment!
