Very tidy stack there 😉. I think a multi bale baler would be a bit complex for my woodworking skills 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 You should do very well there Hugh. I grafted a wiking front link onto my 185R and it sold for well over £100 on ebay. And then I used the money made to buy the new Wiking 6R.250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WHITESNAKE01 Posted February 16 Popular Post Share Posted February 16 (edited) Hi all, On my workbench, but to be honest in fact already finished, is the Versatile 950 from Ertl, being turned into the Fiat 44-35-version. I saw it a few times on a scale-model exhibition, and fell in love right away! Stripped it from the original paint, mounted realistic handle-bars and off course a realistic three point hitch on the back., made a protective cover around the muffler, Airbrushed it in the right color-scheme, made the right decals for it and finished it with clearcoat. Have a look and share your thoughts! BR Jan Edited February 16 by WHITESNAKE01 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works extremely fast and good!!! So using it takes precautions for your hands and tools. Don't know what brand it is, and i tend to pay cash, they poor it from a jerrycan into glass bottles i bring myself. Once filtered after usage, it is re-usable often, so it's a good investment! After paint-removal i wash and brush pieces with an old toothbrush and use a polishing surface-cleaner combined with warm water. Here's a movie i made during paint-removal using the professional remover: (you can hear and see the paint "popping-off") Have a nice day!

James Joe Dewar Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I can't find a tutorial for tyres useing Designspark mechanical for cleated rears, there is a Russian guy with two but with no narration, And he seems to make a mistake and backtrack. so no good, three ribbed fronts are easy if you can get the dimentions, as are wheels, this guy on Cults does a fair few 1/25th scale tyres, and rescaleing those is simple enough, he is a link to some of them, Cults can be very busy and slow, These are mainly tractor pulling tyres, but worth a look, maybe better early morning before America wakes up, https://cults3d.com/en/design-collections/CosplayItemsRock/monster-jam-tires-scale-1-25 Regards Joe.

Tractorman810 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 splash of ransomes orwell blue,and some white gloss on the wheels and tamiya rubber black on the tyres, tyres went on really well despite the depth of the treads, which is good. a d finally seeing as these two will be mine, started some timber, if i sell some(5 ready to paint) they wont have this, its very time consuming to fit,and not cheap either compared to the other option 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
