Lord Ferguson Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Superb Sean... now I demand you PM me with the next two models I'm in love * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 How doooo you do it??? What an absoloute gem of a model Sean, thats worthy of being an FTF Tractor I reckon. It looks absoloutley perfect, good idea to change the model number too. Adds even more of a touch tao make it a different model. Eye for detail mate thats what you have.

Lord Ferguson Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Thrided then... EVEN I will buy one or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 the trouble with this of course is what Dave Towse said to me last year , you got to have a ready supply of base models to do it with , luckily for dave the 7000 could be built from either a 5000 or a 6600,& of course the economy & yard scraper versions , the question this time round is finding enough donors to build the ammount of 5oo series masseys to start with.

jdc Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Another cracker Sean. Looks absolutely dead right as a 575. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 same as before sean , it's the wheels that make it look right , the door & the front axle finish it off a treat though & it makes a nice change to see a red cabbed one :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 are you using 135 chassis or cutting up a 595 chassis or ........both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
