Janval Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Whoa, chopping up Marge Ford's, that's some expensive stuff Wouldn't have dared it myself, paid a lot for my Tw's aswell as my 8830. But looking forward to your end result 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I know, I was in two minds myself, but it was the best way to end up with the model that I wanted. I already have the full set of tw's from marge and these were bought when they were a lot cheaper than they would be now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that Pretty cool to have the full set though, wouldn't mind having that myself but all things considered, I think it's pretty decent having the 25, 30 and the 8830. I reckon that those three cost me around £250. So mine are strictly "no touching" displays Edited September 12, 2017 by Janval 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thought I'd better try and make some progress on my M series Deere, it's been sat for over a year now and at this rate Britain's will beat me to it! It's based on a Britain's 6150R with a Siku cab grafted on, mudguards widened, scratch built working linkage, just been altering the side consol and dash to match that in the M's. Still lots to do, but getting there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thanks all, that's one of the few benefits of the dark nights, I don't get much time to play during the summer and it always takes me a little while to get back into it again. Anyway, it's better than burning logs and drinking wine or whisky of an evening.. ...well maybe ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEP Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Claas dominator 108 cab interior - Just added armrest, and new grey cloth seat covering, together with detailing mainly red/green rocker switch lights, plus giving levers and knobs the correct red/white colour scheme. Simple job that l think finishes of what is already a very well detailed and accurate cab interior by norev. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Dowdeswell DP6 4+1+1 work in progress, from a scaledown DP1.
