Tractorman810 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 been swapping the rims round on the 3050 now sporting much more 3000 style rims, whilst looking these rears seem much more common on the smaller ones than the bigger one uh did, also sorted a set of narrow wheels for it, just need to sort a simple swapping system for them now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Two projects off the workbench today. First up is the Farmmodels.nl "mest container". My first time working with a styrene kit and lots of learning was had. Some of my modifications include the internal ladder, hand rails, internal bracing, hose bracing, and external filling pipe with ball valve. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The second kit is the 1:32 sscale Aoshima Toyota AE86 Trueno with lights retracted. The two tone paint and the lights were tricky, and are not 100%. Lots of learning was had in relation to masking and detailing. Will do fine as a background piece parked up in the yard as a worker's car. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret90 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I love the heads... they remind me of people I know I think I'll have a go at making some tomorrow Edited September 2, 2018 by T.H Conversions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the lights up version as well, and plan to get the RX-7 and Nissan Silvia kits too. What silage contractor in the mid noughties didn't have a yard full of Jap imports belonging to the tractor drivers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Started work on a new board this evening, going to have a field and a track with small field in between, used a cheap plastic trailer to mark out the wheel length and going to add something to make ruts, taking inspiration from the Europeans who seem to have mastered the small diorama, this one is about twice the size of my other but still managable. Hopefully can cram lots of details in 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
