Simon Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Small point Sean, the rear fender extensions from where the mud guards slope and tail light housings should be black. Had to look at it for ages before I could work that out! Looks great, keep posting pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 i found you have to cut the floorpan out of the origonal so it sits right, then once its right just cover with a fake floor pannel,you may need a small packer peice to sit under that on the front of the chassis where the steering coloum is to,if that makes sence, the floor will i am lucky that i can cast these so if i need another cab floor or bonnet this shape i just make them, have the other type of lower bonnet ready to cast to mind so i have a choice, same with the 600 series i do, all parts to hand heres a few updated pics for you mostly cab and interior work done this after noon, mirrors garb rails bit more paint, and levers ect inside, seat still needs work only temp fixed to get things right one from the side, the wheel are deff a different shade now although the pic doesnt show it that well,tried with the flash on and off this was the best pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 :o :o i hope mine is going to look as good as youre's I already painted the Backrims MFwhite/grey! and i adjusted the chassis and painted that MF Brown/grey they are drying in the shed! But did u use the floorpan off the celtis (is that what you mean ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 no its a full resin copy of the ros one mate,as is the cab, then i cut the middle out between the foot rests back to the seat area so it fits over the chassis, usually just wide enough so it helps with the fit, nice and tight will try and find another one un painted and no floor tommorrow so i can get a pic for you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
