Ferret90 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Exellent work James, There's 2 abandoned flatbed ones a little way away from me, but the barn they were in has collapsed on top of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Rims arrived from the 3D printers today, they've stopped printing SLA, so these are printed in SLS, or selective laser sintering. Slightly lower detail/clarity than SLA but will still do the job with a little cleaning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Up on four wheels, got the two chassis parts done just filler to go. Not overly detailed underneath but if I start adding too many parts the cost of the kit would be too much for the 1/32 market. Concentrating on the mid size wheel variant alone at the moment, the other options should be possible using the Britain's trucks, both the Marius and the little Iveco.

Stabliofarmer Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Just the exhaust to make and cast now, and sort out the former for the windscreen, impatiently thrown some paint about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 looking good james, did you get the bigger wheels done as well in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Cheers Guys This is on the medium wheel size Sean, 28mm diameter. I have a smaller wheel size printed, 25mm diameter, but they are the same size as the Britains Iveco Cargo, so it makes sense to put the cab on the Iveco Chassis. Then for the larger wheel size, 32mm diameter, there is the Britains Magi/Deutz/Fiat/Iveco, which again it makes sense to mount the cab to that chassis for that wheel option. It's only the medium 28's that isn't currently catered for in 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 got you , when your ready to sell i suspect mine will get mounted to the britains deutz/iveco wheels and chassis anyway as i have spares of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I haven't measured the Aoshima wheels, but I think they are the middle size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoldsModels Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Looking great. I need to get into the resin casting scene! I do a little of it at work, but can see the potential for it with my hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 That's the prototype all but finished. Next step is to build one up to make the instruction sheet, then it'll be all go! Would love to know what you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Excellent James, this will make a few people happy. I particularly like it with the sides removed. Looks like it's just delivered a load of cwt bags of feed or fertiliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awdmac Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Great what you've done there, always a favorite of mine. Would like to put one on a milk tanker when you get into production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 You know what would go well with that James, a nice Bedford TK! Here's one that's fairly local to us, definitely the cleanest coal wagons you'll find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Funny you should say that John, I've got the blueprints printed ready to make one, and I'm in with photographing the details of one as we speak at Stoke Row Rally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 very nice james, will keep an eye out for when you have them for sale, bedford tk is an interesting one, have driven one several time, prob worse to use than the sherpa i ended up with after it, and that was bad, had to use one like this for a couple of weeks when my mate was on holiday, had only passed my test a few months earlier, was ok size wise, driven bigger tractor and trailer rigs , but it was so weird, strange driving position ,you felt hunched over the steering wheel. my mate slammed the breaks on one day, in the summer and forgot the ladder hatch was open from lunch time , thing shot straight out over the cab and unfolded its self down the road, luckily it missed the car coming the other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEP Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Your Ford D series is a lovely model James, well done Will be a great addition to the 1:32 farm scene, especially for 70's/80's based dioramas. Looking forward to them being available for sale, think you will be pretty busy with orders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
