Tractorman810 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 last 2 for now, has taken a bit of time as i have also managed to make the cabs mould at the same time, currently putting air bleed holes in it as getting holes in a few corners, but nothing to serious, next step will be cast the floorpan,and a 3680 fueltank to, so it looks right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 damn you keep going like this i'll want a pic of you on my phone as well ! :D looks bloody good , that does , i recon mine will have to be derated to a 3650as some point , as the wheels dont look big enough for an 80 , think the biggest problem will be the bonnet , there is a very noticeable difference in the front grill , the britains grills are to tall / narrow compaerd to the real 3680 / 90's wich were more square , oH yeah got some stuff here that might interest you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Blimey, he is off again!! Looks great Sean. Well done on the mouldings aswell. This one would look cracking on the front of a big baler mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 hya ! im say i need a cab but yeah i also need a floorpan , as the original one would have to go ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 floor pans come out a treat,no probs at all, now also sorted the cab,done 2 test moulds and both are fine, tank is cast to for the rear of the floorpan so next step is to make a few when i get back of holiday , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richo Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thats looking really good. At least now we all won't have to destroy numerous other models to get the cabs etc. The fuel tank should finish off the rear nicely. Oh and those tyres turn her into the beast the real tractor is. Keep up the good work mate, ps also the 56 bale carrier is superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
