tabmodels Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I've been asked to build a Weeks trailer for an upcoming birthday in ten days time The original gift was a County 4000-four but the customer decided to add the trailer afterwards. I managed to put one together in a hurry, it may not be 100% accurate and doesn't tip but I'm quite happy with how it's progressing. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Very nice Ian. Had one here with removable bale extension and hay racks front and rear. Is it being built as a static model due to the short notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly less of a headache to build too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no knowledge of these trailers at all Sean, mine might be a bit of a patchwork quilt of different Weeks trailers put together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabmodels Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Paint applied and trailer built up. I went for John Deere yellow on the wheels and Halfrauds Ford Olympic Blue for the body. Probably completely wrong, but close enough Decals drawn up on CAD, tricky little buggers to reproduce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
