Pete Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 That's brilliant, look forward to seeing them lined up... How do you find working with card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I like it alot and use it in most of my builds. Easier to cut than plastic both by hand and with a laser cutter. Nice to shape and sand. And cheap, which when I first started was very important. It does of course have its limitaions. Over time and in a damp environent it will sag and getting a good paint finish can be difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FendtFarmer Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Britains ford 6600 bubble cab with Britains front loader. i removed the weights, filled the hole in, narrowed the tombstone to fit the loader, painted, glued loader on and put a screw through underneath for added support 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 how did you do it Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 9 minutes ago, MadMark said: The wheels and lift rams are held on by 2 screws so can be taken off the main frame. Then I cut out the middle bit of plastic and altered the rear bit so you can push it further up the main frame so the tines touch the ground when the wheels are raised. Tip the rear screw will need to be put back in as it hold centre frame to the body. handy to know Mark,thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 15 hours ago, MadMark said: Not a bad trailer Pete, as it's a toy rather than the higher spec trailers from the likes of UH. it's good and rather than 16 ton + trailer it's nice to see a 12 tonner done for a change.There's room for improvement but that could be said for any model. As you say toy not model.. definitely agree it's nice seeing smaller trailers. I'd seen on fb earlier someone has altered the axle to pull wheels closer.

So now have it looking a lot better for working the ground Don't look a bad piece of kit, assuming a modern style of simba solo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Definitely looks better. The bigger wheels look more in keeping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 My attempt at changing the UH hedge cutter to left hand side. Hopefully end up as a bomford kestrel. Please excuse my soldering, it looks like bird has shat on it. I'll have to get the needle files on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thanks Paul. My first attempt at working with brass was a disaster, and I'm not convinced that this will turn out much better, but if you don't have a go you won't know. Yours was one of the ones that convinced me to have a go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
