Whats on your workbench???


Recommended Posts

That looks very nice! Lot of hours must have gone into that model. Does the levelling work like on the real thing?

 

If I could have a little criticism I'd say the cab glass and layout are New Holland? The glass is much more curved than on the Vista. Other than that well done. I see the stairs are seperate and you have to weld them on yourself?

no the leveling dose not work , yes nh cab , could not find a good cab to use to keep the costs down , did not justify breaking a claas up , i used the nh axle hubs for the rear axle , no steps are cut out of mesh , but fitted loosed as they will get bend in the packing of the model.

not on my normal workbench as that's still being used for work in the garden, but on my portable(big pansy  go indoors when its cold board )
managed to get my pma trailer kit assembled/test built, have gone for smaller uh vanto wheels on it, the ones it came with were to big, not decided on colour yet, but it will have a set of removable grain extensions built for it, more than likely  wooden ones with metal frame ,the rear lower panel will get a grain door  with rubber shoot so it can still drop when required .the kit is very well made, and scales to a 7/8 ton trailer , it appears to be 3 d printed as I can not see any resin over runs etc on it , the ram will be altered to a more uk looking one, as its not supplied with a working ram, and the one that is is a much more euro spec one ,very short multi stage that pushed up backwards as ,not decided on whether I will buy the hay extensions and ladders yet, but the bed has the holes for them , so it would make a very nice multi use trailer on the layout

joe  its not a rough finish, but it is ever so slightly pitted, the holes etc are all in place and ?? well it looks printed to me . only way I could see it done looking at the detail on the parts, like the handbrake lever

its a very nice kit actually Robert, tad European, well its French, but not a lot of work required to get it more uk looking, ,had a real good look and it was to much to get a wooden floor and sides, ,but as you say with a bit of sanding you could make it a close weeks  . I may well get another at Zwolle but get a second axel for it

I have had a slurrykat front reel 3d printed and would advise rubbing down before primer and then your desired top coat
