Decals Commission

[An Interested Spectator]

I am looking for someone who would be prepared to make "one off" decals for me.

I am currently working away from home, and do not have time to do them myself when i am at home, (wife would kill me), and do not have suitable computer access whilst at work.

Cost is not an issue, as long as prices don't get silly.

I currently need Massey Ferguson 699 decals for a Britains M/F 2680 that i have converted.

Anyone who would be prepared to do a decent job for a few bob please contact me.

(there would be other one off jobs to follow).

blimey thats a bit big ,i have a 699 in the pipeline with a extended version of my 600 bonnets but aint telling ya what chassis, but it will only be longer in front than the 698t i have

as for decals i only have them for my bonnets,but none printed her works laser printer is of,although if you send an email to this nice chap

walkerparts@planet.nl. he will be able to help, just tell him what your after ie a 2680 decal but with 699 on it and he will knock ya one up no probs

think that e-mail is right but will check when i get home and correct it if it isn't

[MJB1]

there was a pic of a 699 derived 26 but although it looked good it just didn't look right , great finish , great model , but it just wasn't the right size to be the right scale

[IH885XLMAN]

could you do a 2680 with a 690 cab and floor-pan like wot sean does

would that look ok??

[MJB1]

thats what was here  nige , a 2680 chassis , bonnet fitted with a 600 sreiers floorpan & cab , the finish was really good , but the tractor itself was too big to be a believeable 699

[Tractorman810]

yeah unfortunatly i have to agree in the 2680 chassis is to long for a 699 and to big overall, i drove one of those and a 698t which the farm had and the only difference size wise was the lenght of the bonnet and even then it wasn't by much, 30cm or so tops, as the 699 is a 6 pot, and the 600 series weren't any bigger than a 500 series really either as the 575 was the same size as the 690 near as lenght wise and slightly lower height wise

[Tractorman810]

anyway that email addy is correct mate ,well worth a message to him ,they come on nice dull ally finish sticky paper so easy to add to the finished design your doing, looking forward to the pics to

would a renalt chassis work for a 698

Tractorman810,

Thanks for the info, i have used Henri WALKER before. I did'nt realise he would do commissions.

I will consider my hand slapped for using a 2680 as the base. As someone said it does look good, and i know it was too big.

Can anyone suggest a base model that would be about the right size.

[MJB1]

i wouldn't have thought a britains MF6180 would be the size chassis you'd be looking for 

[Tractorman810]

i have an old 698t on a 6140/80 chassis at home ,replaced with the new one when i get back i will post  a pic of her, and the new repalcement one so you can see how big /different they are

[IH885XLMAN]

would "New Ray" fords be too big  for a 698T

[MJB1]

would "New Ray" fords be too big  for a 698T

:o :o

i really can't believe you just said that nigel  i recomend you go wash your mouth out with a bar of soap young man \ :( :D

[IH885XLMAN]

they offer better quality than those "fast lane"Excuses for renalts  ;D

that sell in our local    toys r' us    Why dont they do britains    nevermind

back to topic how about an erly deuts from britains with uh wheels on her

my head hurts  now :'( \

[Tractorman810]

well heres a 698t on a 6180 chassis, but the wheels are way to big for her really but did as a temp option for me

[Tractorman810]

this ones the replacement 698t, on a 595 chassis, which i think looks spot on

[Tractorman810]

but for my choice of 699 i have gone for one of my bonnets which has to be extended yet ,on a britains bm chassis, give ya the longer bonnet, and front wheels repositioned but when all the bits are on and beside the new 698t it is longer snouted, but no higher ect as per the real things i drove, its all personal choice i guess but either way i am looking forward to your one asspasmore, how far of being finished is it

[An Interested Spectator]

tractorman810,

The 699 on the 2680 base is done all bar the decals, hence the thread on here.

I did realise it was wrong size wise, but it does look the part (size apart).

I am going to build another which was the reason for asking which base model would be appropiate. I am

having a senior moment, "Britains BM", cant place the model identification ?

I was thinking about using a Ros M/F 1013 (??) which was the donor for the cab.

On the same subject would the Britains Deutz with the sloping bonnet be "right" size wise for a M/F 390T.

PS. Thanks for the interest, your models look spot on !

[Tractorman810]

yeah the deutz/mf6140/80 chassis is fine for a 390t, i use them for mine, have a pic if you want, the 699 i posted is on the volvo bm ? red or yellow 80's one,

[Deere-est]

I thought the first of those pics was a Moffet!!!!!  :D :D

If the 698 on a 590 chassis works aswell as that Sean, so to would a 390T??

[Tractorman810]

you recon? never thought about it to be honest

[Deere-est]

And the 690 bonnet wouldn't be a bad place to start either would it? Can;t remember what either 1/1 looks like it has been that long. . .... . .. I wanna real 390T  :'(

[MJB1]

you recon? never thought about it to be honest

tris is quite right sean , else the 390 would effectively be bigger than the 699 \

[An Interested Spectator]

To Tractorman810,

Sorry been away from a computer for a couple of days.

If i have understood your post correctly do you produce your own bonnets of this type. Would you be prepared to sell three or so.

The other point raised, are we saying a 590 base would be appropiate, size wise, for a 390t, the Deutz i was looking at using is quite a bit bigger. Your thoughts appricated.

Adrian.

[Deere-est]

Well Adrian, like I said to TM, the 590, 690, 290 and 390 are all in essence the same tractor. .... ... So you would have thought the 590 chassis would be a good base for the other 3 variants. That said, with the newr 1/32 scale appearing larger than it's older counterpart it may look a tad small against say a UH Valtra. .
