Deere-est Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Seriously Gav, this is one of the best looking scratch builds I have seen on here, thats both pics and members own creations. The detail in it already is just unquestionable mate. Defender has been reduced to axle stands on the driveway now I reckon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Thanks John. When i set out to build this i wasn't anticipating this response to it, its made it really worthwhile. After some thought i now hope to get some cast once i get the prototype finished so if anyone seriously wants one please send me an e-mail (not PM) and i'll put your name on the list, if i get sufficient serious interest i will definately set the plan into motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You know you'd done the same gav if you could have found a way to sting me :D Only trouble is youv'e gone and made a complete mess of it because Gav actuall quoted FB then F-p and responded to each; Thanks Ben, i wish i knew to be honest although there were a couple of occassions where it wore thin yesterday Thanks Jason, hope to get it finished within a couple of days, just depends how soon my supplier gets more stuff in that i ordered But then you obviously noticed your mistake and tried to cover it up by modifying the quote: Trouble is through trying to sting me you've done it to yourself cos now if you want one of these the price has doubled Very sly that > I think you should get an honorary numpty for being so dishonest ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Latest update- I've just fitted one of the Bruder traces to the tank fill elevator, despite one minor problem where i ended up with an elevator attached to my fingers : it fitted in well, would like to here what the rest of you boys think to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 the standen has tooth like bits on it from the pics, ,as for the glue i can imagine, having done it myself a fair few times now, tend to find out when the whole part comes of with your fingers ,well i do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Sodding hell Gav this is amazing!!!!! Get a patent before any more appear elsewhere, she is a right beaut. Can't believe this is your first attempt mate either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 Thanks Tris, you're the second person to tell me to get a patent on it before it gets copied, wouldn't know how to go about it though. With a bit of luck i should get a good bit of it finished today i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 just been looking into the whole copyright side of things, it would appear that from the minute i started to build this copyright applied to it so anyone caught copying this model can be in trouble, well thats how the official bit reads to me, but if you've ever tried to read any paperwork from the government you'll know how difficult it is to interpret \ :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
