phil phoenix Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I managed to find some time to bring my Massey 8220 up todate, painted its roof with Humbrol silver as its darker than the Revell I had used more recently on a 7726. Ive weathered the front weight and the exhaust stack. Im still waiting on Henry Walker for various decals. I sprayed the front wheels Sapphire grey, and now just have the rears to sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack390 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I like the weathering on the front weight, adds a nice touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I've taken the plunge and altered the 2 Schuco 7800s I bought around Christmas time to a 7710 and 7810 with stickers from Henri Walker. My eyesight isn't what if used to be and neither have I got a steady hand so the cutting out isn't great and so I didn't quite remove all the white. Still, I am content to have a 7710 and 7810. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Yes they are, and bloomin expensive when you include the packaging!! Fortunately they duplicated my last order so I got my monies worth for once😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I think the postage is quite pricey from Farmmodels nl as well isn't it? I prefer stickers to decals really as I always manage to break them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer stickers to decals really as I always manage to break them! thats why its easier to order them through mandy at hlt, she pays the postage on a bulk order thats cheaper than a single order, natrualy puts a little on, but my last order was a fair bit cheaper via her than going direct, sadly he wasnt as zwolle this year, so i couldn't do a pre bulk order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Joe Dewar Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I phoned Henry a few years ago and asked about his shipping price, turns out the price is set by the Dutch postal service, he has no say in it at all, it was €17 at that time Regards Joe.

Anderson Agri Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Marge Ford 7610 fitted with Imber rear wheels and UH fronts, shame it's the wrong rim/hub but no better are available and far better than the original. Alongside another I converted a couple of months ago. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Abit of work this weekend on the Cuthbertson Land Rover, decided to 3D print everything so that I can quickly make another. Just got to tackle the track grousers now, I have a plan for that which includes latex 😮 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Joe. I'd love a play with some flexible resin but at £100 a kilo I can't justify it just yet! Going to use 3d printed grousers a latex strips for the rubber section. Hoping to try the same with my Pisten Bully for some more realistic grousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Evening all. does anyone have any brochures on batchelor feed trailers? I’d imagine they are from late 70’s early 80’s? tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Ah yes, that price is for flexible resin, impressive stuff that I can't quite get my head around, but just abit too pricey, I could print a solid tyre, make a mould and cast in rubber for around the same price.

Stabliofarmer Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This is going to take an eternity! Very happy with the results though, printed grousers and latex rubber strips for the Cuthbertson Landy Tracks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 One track done, well pleased with the outcome! It even moves which, although designed to, I didn't expect would be feasible. VID20230218171555.mp4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
