AndyB Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Been converted more times than anything else i should think but i had a couple of spares knocking about sooo... Ihave made this to fit a four metres in scale. Mighty difficult (for me anyway) to get the third and two thirds to marry up without too much of a visible join - especially as i dropped it twice!! I also wanted to keep it fairly toy like as it goes better with the Britains of the time. Its all down hill now as i have started tinkering!!!!

Deere-est Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Not a bad old bit of handy work at all Andy, have you resprayed them or were you lucky enough to find two exact matches? Sean, anymore of these coming out of Pullin's MF Engineers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Not a bad old bit of handy work at all Andy, have you resprayed them or were you lucky enough to find two exact matches? Sean, anymore of these coming out of Pullin's MF Engineers? Had to repaint them/it because finding two the same would just be too easy!!! nice work for a first attempt mate, add a few bits to her like the line markers and folding tow bar and you'll be well away mate, mines in a 6m scale size ,as i have a big feild or two on the layout :D :D Thought about that but my technical ability wouldn't let the grey matter fathom out the best way to do the folding draw bar. The markers i did fathom out but after dropping it the first time i was never going to get it to the stage where it would warrent the extra detail/time 9which i don't have a lot of. Thanks for all your kind comments. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean, anymore of these coming out of Pullin's MF Engineers? may be mate adny send me a pm if you want and i will get a couple of close ups of the hitch bit for you, so you can do it ,you use bits from the stuff you cut of to do it, so its pretty simple and free to, as you would only throw the bits away otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 nice job well done how did you join them together joining them was fairly simple in using normal contacta glue. The difficult part was getting rid, (or trying), of the joint. I ended up joining them, then filing out a V so that i could fill it. Then a lot of filing again and filling, building the filler up in thin layers. I did strengthen the joints on the underside where possible with strips of plastcard.
