Tractorman810 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 not bad mate, have you got a bubble top you could put on the cab, as i recon the chassis style is prob more fitting to the earlier versions with those cabs than the later q's?

TS135A DRIVER Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Deerepower you need to get a job at Britains / RC2 with all your ideas and skills just think of what they could make if you were on their design and production team. We would get decent life like models and their profits and cred rating would soar into orbit from increased sales to collectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pj witch Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 if fitted with an AP cab it would have to be the 5610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS135A DRIVER Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Andy has to have a meeting with someone from Britains first before he can put your ideas forward. And I reckon that the FTF members have more chance of putting a member on the moon before Andy gets a meeting with anyone from the company going by previous results and cancelled meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 like the idea behind your 5000/ 5610 convo mate , but i was wondering , if you thought about loosing the 5610 bonet , as the 5000 bonnet was more like all the tractors you have listed in the poll, only the front cowling need be adapted , that would give a more genuine & authentic look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerepower Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 yes it's a 5610 bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 yes it's a 5610 bonnet in that case it's the wrong bonnet , the bonnet on the 5610 was originally from the TW20 / 7710 , which is the wrong bonnet for the tractors in the poll above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think to apreciate the 10 series bonnet you would have to look at "ohh god ive forgoten the name of the bloke who does it now" tiredness is falling upon me someone help me out with a pic from his builds please the bloke who made the 7810 and 7610 is it Brian norman yes have a look at his bonnets they are more like the britains 6600 bonnet but he has changed the front coweling to a 10 series looks better than the inaccurate TW-20 or 5610 bonnets britains tried to pull on us ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yes the lads are exactly right - that bonnet isn't an exact replica of real thing but of the one froma TW or 7710 - I suggest you'd be better with the 5000 bonnet and 5610 grille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 is this what you mean, have got more to do to it, the grill was to wide for it so I had to reduce the width of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
