Barry Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 No i think you should get 2 numpty's one for saying ertl made a 7810 when you meant a 7410 and another one for trying to riggle out of 1 again will you never learn running makes you look guilty He he he he, must stop typing quickly, and start reading slower!!!!!!

PDC Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Got the resin cast bonnet and grill back at last : I will have a small number of these for sale at Spalding price TBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I think scale wise it looks good and while not exactly like a 7810 i think for the money it will be the way to get a 32 scale 7810 in the collection ;) ;) I will consider selling it as a kit for members that want to have a go them selves ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 have i gone daft ? if ertl already make a 7410 , wouldn't it be easier to just change the decals & maybe the wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It's all plastic Marcus, poor detail, but surely you could use the frame of the cab off of the 7410? I know it's got crap blacked out glass, but you could cast the frame surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 ah i see what he meant now when he sai the dremmel slipped , but then why not just ask bill if ertl can make a diecast version of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 ah i see what he meant now when he sai the dremmel slipped , but then why not just ask bill if ertl can make a diecast version of it Its not a current production tractor and its too new to be a classic so we are s#it out of luck for atleat 5 years when they might consider it a classic.... We could do a partition....... Im sure if we got enough votes/singnitures for a 7810ertl/rc2 would have to look at doingone wouldnt they?? I think scale wise it looks good and while not exactly like a 7810 i think for the money it will be the way to get a 32 scale 7810 in the collection ;) ;) I will consider selling it as a kit for members that want to have a go them selves ;) I was going for the look of a 7810 not the exact replica... But i am happy that i have had the push to get it looking as it should... I do like the look of yours pual but i recon that forit to look super you need to shave a few mm of the cab top... Just to the frame looks good i recon... It's all plastic Marcus, poor detail, but surely you could use the frame of the cab off of the 7410? I know it's got crap blacked out glass, but you could cast the frame surely? There is no frame realy.. its a 2 pice casting... you have to cuut all the windows out the guard off... i am going to have a crack at scratch building a cabin frameas i didnt cut my plastic one properly and its not even close 2 square now... The only real way to get the cab perfect is to alter the mtx one alot ( bout 2 hrs work alone) ofr to scratch build one.... thats if you want a perfict 7810... If you want a replica just get a new bonet and a lick of paint on 2 a mtx...Thats my oppion on it now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 it would be a shme to go this far, and not try the mtx cab option first mate, doesnt need that much work does it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 it would be a shme to go this far, and not try the mtx cab option first mate, doesnt need that much work does it??? Not overly that much now... Ive shaved the roof and reshaped the pillars...I just need a front window or 2 to finish ( ive broken one trying to straighten it already) If any one can help it would be super and would get this finshed off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 the uh glass is hard/brittel, try making your own out of some fine clear plasti card,any good model shop should have some in, and use normal model glue to stick it in place, that way you wont get glue fogg like superglue can cause on that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 doesnt on mine, super glue does thats for sure, i use that revel presision stuff,with the long metal pipe to put it on with, it will only mark it if you get it on areas you dont want it to, then it melts into the surface and you wont get it off, hence the small aplicator, glue goes where you want it,in the corners, just be aware it takes a while to go off though,so try to leave it somewhere safe for a while, and weighted down from the insdie to if possible, to stop it lifting away if theres a curve in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
