Tractorman810 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 being made out of plasti card the front end was hollow,so it was the easiest option, i guess your moulds are full as such so you don't have the route open to you ,i swapped ploughs not long after so it was pointless,but even a bomfords harrow would tip it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Very impressive build Ian. Well done for doing something different if a second one is in build with a tanker on it's back and sitting on wide boots that'll be a beast of a machine your building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajo Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Marvelous Ian, very, very, very impressive endresult! Perhaps an idea to built something simulair to the dealership on page 4, and put all those amazing County's you have already built in front of that? Bet it would look totally amazing!

MDFord Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Love the detail and accuracy of this model Ian, it instantly looks "right" the cab alone is a masterpiece. Even the little chrome surround dual headlights are spot on, can I ask how you made them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, it's basically the dual headlights drawn out on CAD in black line along with shadings and reflective shadows that makes chrome look like chrome. That is then printed on to the clear water slide decal sheet and then applied to chrome sign making vinyl, the chrome then comes through the clear decal and the black line drawing shows the detail.

Cheshire Farm Models Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 How you thinking of making the tank itself mate ? Something I’ve always wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after a bit of detective work with the customer it's going to be made using the Britains NC tanker. It's the correct diameter and will need shortened with plenty of added detail. Oh and it also needs to be detachable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
