MJB1 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 OI ! fp that bloody gauntlet hurt try a silk glove next time will you ! Well, had a spare hour to day so i made a start ,i did look at using an old Alfa Laval tanker but as i`ve only got the one in mint condition it seemed a shame to break it up so i have gone for the bauer tanker option as i`ve got 3 of them ,once the drawbar was shortened it didn`t look too bad so this is how it looks so far................................................................

MJB1 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 when i`ve got the time & money i`ll rub the tank down for a respray in white & the complete tractor & trailer chassis in blue, maybe at a later date i`ll fit some LGP tyres as well.

THEBRITFARMER Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I think the finished model (whenever that happens) should be sent to me to compensate me for all my pain & suffering :'( [move] [/move] [move] [/move] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Anyway... looks good so far, needs some sort of pivot mechanism where the link pin joins them up, similar sort of idea to the swivel on a dog lead clasp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Anyway... looks good so far, needs some sort of pivot mechanism where the link pin joins them up, similar sort of idea to the swivel on a dog lead clasp. you mean so that it twists as well as turns fp ? Well like i said it was knocked up in an hour/houran half so there still work to be done,as & when time allows but it`s a start !Gona have to start saving for that cab & grill you got. and a little clean and it will look great! :) It will only be the decals & plastics that let it down as it`ll all be resprayed at some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 what about the pivot point from a jcb junior dump truck,they turn and pivot , havn`t got a jcb junior , so it`s going to be built from whatever i can convert ,steal or make from whatevers at hand ,thing is as the wife doesn`t work during the day & i work nights so i`ve very little time to spend on it !
