WoldsModels Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Evening folks Im new to the forum, but I have been converting all sorts of models for years such as Lorries, Buses, Rally Cars, Agricultural etc and making our own Code 3’s as well as Decals too. We make our own decals and we are just starting to make our own resin conversion parts soon as well as plans for full resin machines The company my dad works for, Peacock & Binnington, it’s there 125th Anniversary this year and they have had a one off Tractor produced to commemorate this. Based on the Massey Ferguson 7726S, it has a one off wrap and black detailing. So, seem as UH make the exact model I thought I had best make a scale model of it! Ive made a start stripping the model down, ready for a couple of small alterations and paint, and some of our own made decals. I’ll keep this thread updated with the progress.

Its a wrap to be fair! They just wanted a gold colour without been too "in your face" and i think its just right. Its the companies 125th Anniversary, so they wanted something they could take to shows etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoldsModels Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Stripped the model down tonight. All metal parts are now ready for stripping of there paint and then I can get onto sorting the paint out. I’m waiting for the wrap sample to come so I can get the painted matched up. Im going to airbrush this one, which is a first for me as I usually use rattle cans Decals are pretty much sorted too. Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajo Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Looks a lovely shade of gold, but also it looks a bit green to me ... hopefully the model you make will show it a bit more clearly. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! Yeah it’s a very light receptive colour. Looks all sorts of different colours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajo Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Aha, thought it was more of a metallic, but it is a matt wrap. Looks great, but I don't like the black rims and cabine roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoldsModels Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 All the pieces that are getting repainted are now off the model and ready to have the paint stripped off them. It will soon be time to get the paint ordered and make a start! in the mean time check out our Facebook page for more updates etc https://www.facebook.com/Wolds-Models-425930124917992/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoldsModels Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Bought this today to try out on the cab glass on the 7726 Model as the later guise has tinted glass in it as seen in this picture. Ill pop a few trial runs up this week on some clear sheet I have just in case it doesn’t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
