Liking the 1/16th convos by the way, too delicate for me to attempt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Very interesting project there James Well done on thinking outside the box and building something else that hasn't been tackled yet but oh so sadly lacking. Looking forward to seeing them all lined up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 been tinkering with the almer today, only minor bits mind as need to source some small pully type wheels, also stared a new front loader for ash tree, will need to order a new mf 80 loader from perfect 32 as i want to keep my 575 to, aim is to be a mf290 with delux duncan cab fitted as we had on the real ash tree, plenty left to do mind, but am happy with the basic cab side profile,should be i have cut about 6 of them so far. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Massey is looking good so far Sean, look forward to seeing it take shape. Did you cut the cab out by hand? anything here that would do for pulleys? http://www.modellingtimbers.co.uk/1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 yeah cabs cut by hand, have a good basic shape now plus what you cant see is the angles at the top to,from front on, so the next step is to cut again froma thicker sheet which hopefully will alow me to have opening / removable doors , have considered making the top half removable to,as per the real one, but suspect that may be a step to far, to be homest we never removed it on the real one anyway,just doors of in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Removable doors would be a nice feature. Making the cab removable might make yourself a lot of work getting it all strong enough when separated, seems unnecessary if you aren't going to use the feature.

Tractorman810 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 making the two halfs would be ok, its the joining them which would be hard, i doubt it will be made from anything ticker than 2mm sheet ,its only a .5 mm template right now ,i would have a hell of a job making the lugs etc to do it i think, especially where the front screen meets the lower window section,as that stays on the tractor when the tops detached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 i have ideas ,but do wonder if its really worth all the agro when i suspect i would not remove it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 nice work Phil,any plans with the cab? as i know you are not a fan of the cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegreen Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Actually the cab is pretty good Paul, more accurate than I gave it credit for, although its currently in bits and pieces. The new roof is excellent as are the rear fenders, wheels and softer tyres. Its just that awful UH bonnet that ruined the model. Also UH haven't fitted the screw that secures the front of the cab onto the engine casing under the bonnet. This missing screw will pull the cab down at least 3mm and improve the look even more. A respray of all red parts with official CASE paint and all new 240 decals etc on the way from Henry and she should look decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is Pete, most of the structure is 1.5mm mount board which is roughly the same strength as plastic would be, then any detailing is cereal card. I will hopefully get some of these built up soon as I have the parts to make 6. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
