844john Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Back window, mirrors and plough light added. Decals ordered from Henri, just a little bit of touching up of paint here and there due to my cack handedness and then she's finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’ve decided to leave my castings to the professional.. Dave Towse does mine and I’m about to send him a ruck of stuff to do. I just can’t waste money on trial and error he’s cheap enough and has all the gear and knowledge so I’ll settle for that L o L. Surely that skid unit complete with the little 4 pot could open up wide range of models combined with new bonnets and cabs etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that skid unit complete with the little 4 pot could open up wide range of models combined with new bonnets and cabs etc etc My thoughts are to do 3 pot and 4 pot bare engines, gearbox and back axles, as the blocks used in the Internationals from the 74 series right through to the 95's were basically the same, with just slight differences in the position of filters and such on different models. Then as you say, the range of models that could be done is quite vast to say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Absolutely gorgeous John. Some really nice detail, particularly around the cab with that glazing which looks stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a worthy investment I’d get the bonnets cast too and axles.... as much as you can... with some work could that 74 skid become a 165 or 185 Massey can’t remember which one. I know there a Perkins they have the Perkins badge on the block somewhere I can rightly remember haven’t been on a Nash for ages now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong shade of red for me though! I've ordered some casting gear, and I intend to try and cast as many parts of them as possible just so that I can cut my build times!

Hehe I have a 590 so I’ll ignore that comment the international we have is yellow 475. I think !! Was only here a day and is at a neighbours now being rebuilt. Let’s just say diesel wasn’t the only thing combusting.... I will say though they were ahead of there time. 674 was a cracking motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks all, it's been a bit of an education for me this one as its the first totally scratch built tractor that I've done. I've learnt a lot from this one, and there are areas that I'm not happy with ( mainly down to me not giving the paint enough time to dry!) but on the whole I'm happy with the general build, I just need to be more patient in future. My heads now toying over the most efficient way of casting the next ones as I'm keen to develop a diorama of a medium sized mixed farm set in the early nineties, using the gear that I remember growing up from the 70's through to the 90's. In fact, plans are already underway for a similar build of a tractor that I have very fond memories of as a young boy, in fact I can still hear the whistle from its exhaust now, a Leyland 282 synchro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was brought up on them john, 270, 262, 285 and the 272 synchro that is still here, they were all good tractors. Really looking forward to seeing your 282.
