WHITESNAKE01 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Hi all, Got myself a new project: Caterpillar 950, scale 1:25, diecast. Needs new color, and of course, a cabin, which i will make scratch. Started off some time ago, trying to find time for it, in between lots of other activities. Some pictures for a start: Proto-type cabin, made of cardboard. Looks quite nice with the color on! Have a nice day!

phil phoenix Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 A nice simple wheel and tyre conversion for the Kubota, as I have pinched its excellent rims for another project😈 The model is now on ebay 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 managed to get some free time today and seeing as it was nice i had a bit of painting to do, this is the test trailer, and i have learnt a good few thing from it,which have all been added to the master print, i only finish in low quality as well to save time otherwise its a 8 hr print. wood certainly looks the part, 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 also got the second flexi cab of its base and assembled, fits a lot better than no1 did, and the door is ok as well, this will get covered with a material outside to make a better fit, but overall i am happy with it now, just waiting on a new motherboard for the printer now to do a full quality one 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It was a kit from Braemere models, thats Stabilo farmer on this forum, PM him to see if he has any wheels left🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I bought a ROS Fendt 718 with the new nice wider tyres and promptly removed them, and fitted the rears to a pair of Kubota 7172 rims sprayed fendt red. Then sprayed the fronts the right shade of red as well. Had to modify the wheels a little to fit right by fitting a 3mm axle. Got the wingmirrors fitted after one snapped! And the beacons glued on. Plus the number plate. Another nice ex demonstrator on its way to Manor farm soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 well that came out better than expected, only a quick test file/print after the rebuild, but size wise i nailed it, all by accident, little to old for a 240, but i wanted it for a 135, just cant find my spare one,front grill gaurd is ok, but wont fit the 240 chassis just now, ,will for the 135 though i think 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I bought a Trion 750 from Manns of Saxham last week, the model is ok and I do like the 1080 split reel header. Its more interesting than a straight 930 version and doesnt take up as much room as the 1380 version. Only problem is it desperately needed painting..........................and so to work😄 Firstly I easily removed all its finger sets. And then bagged up the header and taped it as well as I could to stop overspray. I did try knocking out the centre spindle but it wouldnt shift and I didnt want to cause damage by over doing it. so after washing the parts to be painted with white spirit I sprayed on the grey primer.

phil phoenix Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 All sprayed and dried off overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Touched in the parts that needed more red paint, and the green parts with a little red overspray. Tomorrow I will paint the tines black to create the "convio" effect and refit them. But very pleased how its going so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good to see how this looks when finished the header is what's stopping me buying one, it looks a bit naff standard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The header will look good but the Trion is nothing special. My Marge Claas 870 is twice its weight!! The old Wiking Lexion 700's are much more detailed than the Trion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
