Coming along nicely BP :) The 7810 eh, what a popular model that you dont see many accurate conversions of, usually a re decalled Britains 7710.

You could be on to a winner here Mark(???)

Is the extra cyl bit you cut off to make the 3 cyl models the bit you added for these then mate.

Waste not want not  :D

no mate there's 4 5000/7000's been used to make the 2 models, both been cut so I mated up 2 lots of 3 cyl, plus need to extend the bonnets by using 2 bonnets cut and made into one as well as shaping the 7810 bonnet (I also made the 7810 grill myself) :o;)

Ah right, sounds quite involved :o The end result is well worth it :-*

it's quite a quick task cutting the chassis's as the bonnets are removed first and the dremel just slices through it quickly all you have to do is remember is if your cutting the front 3 cyl or rear ones ::), the 7810 bonnet takes a bit more work cutting and shaping it ;) another one I'm doing is the 5000/7000 chassis extended but with an extented 7710 bonnet on it

the last one will end up something like a ford 9700, but have had thoughts of making it a 8200 if I can get the decals made for it ;)

looking good mate, you want to have a gander at casting those bonnets ;) would save lots of time and money buying two and cutting them up

I'm thinking about it, could also cast the bit to extend the engine as well

these models are very good , when finished they will look spot on. the 7810 is the best i've seen with some decals mirrors etc it will look very good. keep up the good work  ;) ;)
