WHITESNAKE01 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi all, On my workbench, since the beginning of this year, the AMT-kit of the D8H-bulldozer (from Caterpillar). Although i'm planning to build it being the D8K, and therefor need to build me the right cab for it. Until now i make a good progress, being satisfied, but still need a whole lot to do...... Have a nice day! BR Jan 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it glues well with Gorilla Blue Lid Super Glue, I've been using it on the Firewood processor kits for a while, abit thinner than the 1mm rubber sheet I use for mudflaps at 0.33mm so has a nice flex to it.

Anderson Agri Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Bit more done to the trailer, me being me and not thinking things through logically, couple little defects on it including the drawbar that's too short (although it's cold and by harvest it might warm up a bit and get bigger🤣🤣🤣) learning curve still though will get there one day 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITESNAKE01 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Hi Hugh, Looks impressive, but just a question: what's on your last picture? Are you making steps or something? BR Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack390 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 First little stretch of hedge done… quite the improvement from brushwood hedges / clumps of foliage in my opinion. Bit more to be completed in due course 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even moves which, although designed to, I didn't expect would be feasible. VID20230218171555.mp4 Am very impressed James... That's going to be a unique build 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Another Land Rover on the workbench at the moment. Britians series 3 with new 3D printed pickup roof, grille and wheels. Will give the mirrors a redesign to get them abit smaller and I need to add a more defined lip to the rim on the wheels so they are easier to paint and keep the tyres looking round. Going to have a go at a soft top too using tissue paper. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
