I have been busy this week as most of you know on the siku / britains 135.

While I was messing about with some 135 parts I came up with this.

If you close your eyes and pretend it could end up as a 165 ! ;):P

Oh my word Steve... I wanna move in with you...  :-*:-*

Just a suggestion... would it be possible to lengthen the chassis a touch... add those huge Ford rear wheels and make a 185/188...

I can send you the brochure if you like  ;D

I could give it a try Marky,no problem.

How long does it need to go mate ?

At the moment it has the 595 chassis and wheelbase .

Don't let Barry know that I have been dabbling with red tractors,he will be sending me to the same place as Britney !!!!!!!!!! :o :o

Some fantastic jobs there Steve - no reason for that not be a 188 Marky unless you think it is a bit short  ???

Would they have had a duncan cab though Colm...  ??? - I thought they were a bit late for that  :-\

yeah lengthend 135 bonnet, cut down on the rear front grill with extra side parts added for depth, the cab is bent 2mm square plasti strut, took 5/6 attempts to get the basic shape right ,and i personally still dont think its quite right now ??

just bent the front section in one go, and test fitted it, then the rear bar once happy i added the middel section and added top support bars to that,

Thanks Sean,I can see nothing wrong with the cab but I know what you mean.

I am very self critical of my own  work and very rarely satisfied with it. :-\

I am glad of the feedback from the forum to see if I am doing things right or not. :)
