Jd6320driver Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 As guessed the grill is 3D printed with hopefully the schuco 6400 headlights being fitted into it and already in the printer along with a few other bits 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 here you go nige, in all honesty i doubt you would ever see a “super 8 “100 series with one, as i think they were long gone by the time these came out, would have all been flexi,and delux cabs on them . i not sure they were around that long even with the 100/5’s to be honest britains one doesn't fit that well to the uh base,arches are out as well 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Thanks sean so it does fit not too bad i saw 2 big mf 100 series in classic tractor a few months ago allong with a 135 in a row one of the 2 big ones had the loader on it all three of them had the duplo caba on them i see that lad on fb is selling flexi cabs they are wuite good but ild love to see one done with all yourframework on you can get those electric heated bag sealers i(JML ..i think) was thinking if you got the right colours and cur them to shspe and sealed all of the cur shapes in there colours red white clear ect very fidfly but once fitted it you coukd use some sort of hadener it might even all mould for casting And if memory serves me well you got the perfect thing to practice on ...your 1/16th massey 135 with cab frame Edited December 15, 2021 by IH885XLMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tractorman810 Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 holes ect drilled out for the frames final positions, still able to remove it at the mo, just need to finish the front mounts now, then onto the doors, followed by cladding. got the pre cleaner off and painted over now as well also had a play with the rear hubs, had a pair of resin uh1200 rims spare so packed out slightly to take a uh 590 tyre, tad loose still , about a .5mm packing needed , so i may take a resin copy of the uh 575 rims and use that,be easier maybe?? also looking for a decent set of fronts now, minus the weights, plus a new weight hanger thats more uk looking, if i can find them it may well be finished as a 185. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipher172 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I have made a little more progress on the Claydon Terrablade. Just need to add the rams and depth wheels now. I also managed to pick up a damaged Precision John Deere 8530 cheaply. So I decided to chop into the model a little so the Dave Twose half tracks and front wide wheels would fit better than on my original 8530. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much finished the Claydon Terrabalde now, so I have started on the next Chritmas Project a Marston 14T Fenlander. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 mm not sure on this version for the cladding just yet, may add a few bits to get the final shape right first blend the corners in ect ,and see how it looks then otherwise the next attempt is something i have seen the model rail guys do for coverings i think,also got a more uk look front weight hanger sorted, had to trim the weight block down by 1 section to get it to fit though,which isnt that big an issue . 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely builds on the go Chris, looking forward to seeing the forward control, a Knight I assume? I've seen a couple of half-hearted efforts but I'm sure you can make something truly befitting of the real vehicle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the model on hold as I have been looking for donor booms, as I haven't found any the plan has been to make them. I started that process today, making decent progress. My new problem is making the 180 degree pivot for the 2nd stage of the booms. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
