Stabliofarmer Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 With focusing most of my time on my diorama my two October challenges got set aside slightly and neither will be done on time. The livestock trailer is no further along but the Unimog is close. Some more detailing to do, the blower unit needs painting yellow I've realised, and then weathering and she'll be done. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anderson Agri Posted September 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2018 Started to tidy up the Atlas edition DB 880 i purchased the other day, removed front mudguards, front weight frame, eu spec footplates, eu spec drawbar and rear mudguards. Fitted with mudguards from Atlas edition fergie. Still needs a few things and some paint as you can see the white bits from where i removed the footplate. The mudguards for some reason have reacted to the paint so they need sorting but i think it looks a hell of a lot better than as it came and will fit in better 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very underrated models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 That’s a good idea with the old DB, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all look stunning, it was seeing your DB tucked in the shed that made me think about using the fergie for it, and i see you've done the same 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Nice work from you both. My pick of the atlas editions has to be the dexta. Are they still bringing out fresh models or is it just repeats of what they have already released? I don't subscribe to them but I haven't seen any different ones lately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janval Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) First time I've actually planned a build like this and not done it purely by feel or by just having the most necessary measures. I've drawn in scale plans for a trailer I'm making, a Norwegian make called Moelven. Only thing I need to do "blindly" will be the cylinders for tipping. Hinges and all else is drawn out. Should make for a quicker build I guess Edited October 6, 2018 by Janval 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Measure twice. Cut once. Looking forward to seeing the finished product 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 finally solved my swapable wheels issue with the 3060/5 , rears now done and a plan for the front found to, just need to look for some bigger plasti strut,or a similar item i bought but a bit smaller . the narrow sprayer wheels are prob a tad widder than i would like, but are still within the width of the wider normal tyres, i had a good look and buggered one rear rim up i had trying to get them in further , so i think this will have to do, they are of the uh technoma sprayer ,the fronts i plan to use modifyed britains 4wd front,as the diameter is right to match the current wide front,and they also match the rears width wise plan is to repray the chassis plus wheels,narrows in yellow and standards in silver mist ,and hopefully with leave the uh body work alone as bar the bonnet cut to shorten,which you can not see when fitted ,i wil only need to sort new decals then. once done she will be the main tractor for the pam sprayer and the beet harvester 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
