phil phoenix Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My new Fendt 728 has been upgraded and now passes muster. The radiator grill is now grey instead of black. The wheels have been sprayed Fendt red. Exhaust numberplate removed, new 73 reg rear number plate added along with Thurlow Nunn Standen dealer decals. A very nice model indeed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 whilst the printers down, i have been sorting the shed out ,new shelfs stuff like that, but i did manage to get the blue trailer done, this ones been stained with the wood in place and i have found it trys to warp the trailer when its wet, seems it expands more than i thought, have tried a slightly weaker stain this time as well, question is red versions stain or blue versions stain 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Needed the wheels off this for a project I've wanted to do for 40 years or so ,so thought these would go nicely as replacements, though had to modify centres, hubs and add circlipped ,keyed shafts. Was it Bedfordia farms had one like this back in the 80's? Hope the project will materialise in a few months..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 been fighting a really really bad case of man flu this weekend 😂😂😂😂 so not been bothered to much about the shed, but have been sat doing more work on the trailer tyres, first 2 pics were my original attempt, the next to, what i think i will settle with ,now to find a sensible priced rubber resin, or do you think a coat of tamiya rubber tyre black would be ok?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Joe Dewar Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Those grooves are really deep Sean, they will be very difficult to spray, but will look the part, Black Plasti Dip latex rubber aerosol realy does look like rubber, You should give that to go, Could you print the tyres and centres seperately, painting the centres and wheel studs will be very tricky after the tyres are painted, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152417531957?hash=item237ccaf835:g:LjgAAOSwpPVgCGg4&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8HX1KGuQKLADmUwcXWiPWp%2FiP3cK4NcFOWMbQ6CQdHW1aip8UbDjODVbUkhNbW4CjlyOQp1xamqXK131kx6dSjySqifvEEVi5Zp7g4qmO4WMHcqPv8fS7G4TXcaiBIbEZsDvDSFzBh2hivt0jSt%2FqICGTZGg5zWKm7Y6axph2QaZbAETsjW1t9T6QTQl2zAvsfSUC39LNCQHOaeWDHDjjVcEyOAQHJiZI89R0%2B%2FpEHLTqc7i5Bfyjm%2BcXuGKLi6bu8KcifOPIowpSDozLlNe4Cl0%2B0aaH7bscM7pQLkKgXM68e2AQDb%2FB2CRZirocFw2JQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMvrLm3q5j Regards Joe.

They are deep and i do have another one part done cad wise with a shallower rib and a small amendment to the outer cleats? /tread , just softening them a bit , but it takes ages to do , and to be honest for a print ready set of 6 tyres its a bloody big file as well , bigger than all the trailer files added up , 110 meg plus so theres a fair bit of data in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to develop one with the swb, but came to a stop when I realised a kit really needs doors and a bulkhead too as they're often missing, and there's alot of variation in the bulkhead/windscreen. May get back to it before the spring. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 splash of colour on the tyres, painted really well, and no obvious misses, tamiya black rubber, do have a revised set done as well,with more angled/rounded side cleats,slightly more shallow treads, but will use this lot up first. as once painted i think they look finealso got a set of 3 tines printed, just trying to decide colour, .have two trailers all assembled, along with two others printed, still on the supports, plus body and chassis for two more done,, just waiting on the drop side prints,which have had a small revision to them for ease of build 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
