FNHIR Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hopefully an improvement from my first effort (don't mention the insides of the wheels still being yellow!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Changes from Britains John Deere telehandler: scratch built right-hand side, front mudguards now attached to chassis rather than the wheels, front lights repositioned, some of cab roof cut off to make it look more like NH than JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Nice job there FNHIR. Was the right hand side difficult to make? Hopefully Britains will make one so I don't have to bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hard enough alright, what I did to make the rough shape was to put six or seven pieces of 4mm styrene on top of each other, then covered it with 1.5mm styrene and shaped it with the sander on a Dremel and small scissors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thats the first time I've seen one of those done Dennis, looks like a decent attempt to me. I've only ever seen the telehandler in yellow, is that an age thing or country of origin?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 All NH telehandlers used to be yellow, then in 2003 they changed the agricultural ones to blue. The construction ones are still yellow, Ros make one in 1:50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Ah, I think the ones I've seen were pre 2003 to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Shouldn't the cab be white? Good work, I saw one the other day and thought that it would make a good model, I wonder if we'll ever see a "real" model, with JD bowing out, JCB is sure to dominate the 1/32 market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 A pretty good convo there mate.......Hopefully we'll see Britains make one in the future....... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It wouldn't take a lot of re-tooling would it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It wouldn't take a lot of re-tooling would it..... My thoughts exactly mate.......Even if they just re-painted the existing casting it wouldn't look too bad....... \ \ I should imagine John Deere would say something though....... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 My thoughts exactly mate.......Even if they just re-painted the existing casting it wouldn't look too bad....... \ \ I should imagine John Deere would say something though....... ;) :o : : Superb FNHIR, when are you making mine?

Tractorman810 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 they have mate, market for tele handlers is pretty much sow up by jcb and mantiou to be honest, although the jds are a pretty common site arround this way it has to be said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
