farmernick06 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi guys, if you can remember i did a smashed up Dominator 98 a while back and with my kiddies model i had since i was 4 i turned it into a cabless 76, but not sure about numbers So here she is next to her 'used' sister. Still a hell of alot of work to do on both of them, some extremely dodgy paint jobs but i just had to show you and ask you for anything i could improve on.

farmernick06 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Don't know whether to rust it or put dust on Think i may put a tiny amount of dust on \ Showing of my best work i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 She definetly needs some smaller back wheels, and my favourite shot. Cab still needs alot of work. If anyone has a brochure scanned or some pictures that would be great thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Looks fine Nick - I don't think they made a cabless 98 and also one other area is the back of the platform should be white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thanks guys, didn't really have a certain target model which was bad just felt like making a cabless Dominator and was kind of mix and match with parts but my two combines are my first two completed conversions and im happy with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 My mate has something like this in his yard at the moment, It's tiny but that's all I know about it. Cannot remember the number of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britainswomble Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 How's that one grab you. They did make a cabless Dominator 76 and hopefuly this frontal picture will help you get all the details right. I'm not criticising, jus' bein helpful. The truck would be a nice one to recreate too, but I don't know if anyone did it in 1/32. You could always make an authentic tractor unit out of an Iveco Magirus Deutz cattle truck or skip lorry. Manns of Saxham (Claas importers) ran Iveco Magirus artic units (Less the crane) about that time to deliver to dealers. If my memory serves me well, they used folding neck low loaders, made by King, not the semi low loader like the one above. They were 40' trailers and the headers were carried on a cradle mounted on the back of the trailer neck. My (Sussex Tractors) trailer was 18' in the bottom and had a 10' neck. Outriggers were also fitted to the lower deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MF 6265 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Nice combine you have made there Nick!! You wanted to get some feedback if there ws something you could do different. The only thing i wanted to do, was putting on other tiers. 2wd tiers back, and a bit smaller tiers on the front axel. I also would increase the front tiers to a more narrow look.. But that`s just my opinion.. Realy like it!! Olav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
