Cheshire Farm Models Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Here’s a Ford 7810 I converted for a customer. I have fitted a angled straight pipe, bigger tyres, opened the sunroof, rear window and side windows, fitted gas struts, cb aerials and beacons. These can be made to order. This is fairly basic compared to other models I have modified. The list of modifications can go on and on.... hope you all like it cheers sam.

This is a fairly simple way to enhance the realism of any model. It’s just a little time consuming! I’ve even seen a scratch built John Deere with fully working gas struts on the Windows’s it was so impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinges on the top of window and pivot points on the window and another set of pivots on the inside of the cab on the pillars. Hmm tempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I can use some brass actually to create the pivot point. A hold and fold would proove useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I've decided my problem lies with slightly too big fingers and probably a need for glasses!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
