alf aphid Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Another project I’m preparing for is a matbro teleram 40. I’m planning on using a Britains jcb tm as a base, so although it won’t be 100% accurate, hopefully you will be able to tell what it is! Does anyone have any dimensions of the matbro. I have a brochure for the slightly facelifted version from 88, sadly there are no dimensions. The one I’m wanting to do is 84 vintage. I could also do with knowing wheel and tyre sizes please. Any help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, looking through them now is giving me some ideas, ......just what i need, another build on the go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly that looks very similar to the brochure I have only mine has no dimensions! Many thanks John, could you take a pic of just the dimensions page please. Some of the numbers aren’t so easy to read. Cheers alastair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Ha, you'd win!!! I've been working on my current project for 16 months now......only been able to do any proper work on it for about 6 months of that, mostly research........I moved into a house at Easter and have taken the bathroom out, putting a new one in is top priority at the moment (went 2 weeks without a working toilet!!!)

I don’t know, expect I could give you a run for your money! I don’t want to know what you did for two weeks without a “working toilet”, did you use it anyway ?

844john Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Looking good so far Alastair, it looks by the bonnet that you are doing the slightly earlier version than the one i did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks John, yes mine will be the early 80s one with the gaps either side of the bonnet. Looking at it, I haven’t quite got the right level of slope on the bonnet top. Am just mulling over the door situation. I was going for closed, but have to say I like your open door version and is up for consideration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Until i started looking for pictures when i did mine i hadn't realised just how many different versions there were! I wanted to hinge the doors, but felt that a working hinge would either be unrealistic in scale or too delicate if it was kept in scale, so i went for one open and one shut, the trouble is with open doors you have to put more detail in the cab!

alf aphid Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Yes that’s true, opening doors I’m sure would be detrimental to the model, as certainly my ability isn’t quite just there yet!! We will see! Away tonight so progress halted ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
