Valley Axe Man Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Cracking John, With your Matbro and this JCB i reckon you should be well in the running for Scratch builder of the year 2018 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks Paul, they're not perfect by a long way but I hope I've captured the feel of each one, especially the JCB as it's a machine that I drive and I've wanted a model of one for a while now As for such accolades, I usually feel quite happy with what I've achieved, then I look at some of the other builds on here and realise that I've still got a long way to go yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll, I've spent the past couple of nights drawing out plans for an early Kramer 312 and also an LP cabbed Ford 4610. I've also got partial plans done for a New Holland 8070 combine and Leyland 282, but really I should try and get my two Cases, trailers and B47 baler finished first! My excuse for the tractors is finding suitable wheels for them, so I'm waiting for Penrith to see if i can come across something Having said all that, something else might pop into my mind that's much more appealing to start than all of those 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get on with the baler, I have on my list an international 440, so yours will be a good guide again seriosly toying with a Combine next too but then I should finish my other MF 7 tonner Edited October 30, 2018 by alf aphid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually brought the baler in tonight to do a bit on, but then all being well I'm going to Martin's tomorrow to measure up his Kramer, so it'll probably sit as it is for a while! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmbritains Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 On 2/18/2018 at 6:22 PM, 844john said: Another build that I started a few years ago and then came to a standstill, so I thought in between doing the other two tractors I would crack on with this as well ( I do get bored easily and like a change). Anyway, progress so far, wheels are just popped underneath to give an idea of proportions : A bit late for this one, but if you need any further information on the JCB cabs I may be able to help you with Engineering drawings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
