David Brown 1410 power! Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks all all coments are appreciated! My aim for this model is to use it on a silage display first the 1690 will be picking up and will be side filling a DB 1490 (when also built) im trying to recreate a scene from one of the orignal promotional video's by david brown. then later ill get a case 2290 and also moddefie it with better wheels and a front 4wd axle ect to make it look like my uncles one and also add it to the display (when its also made ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabh7840 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 looking good db ;)whats the bonnet from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brown 1410 power! Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thank's! the bonnets of an ertl 2294 model! i made a front grill for the bonnet last night filled it out of perspex it looks good but still plenty of work! then im going to work on filling in the area where the exaust comes up through the side of the bonnet! im going to do a bit of cutting on the chassis as theres a bit to much under neeth! i got a JD 4020 2wd axle as well and i made a braket out of alluminum but it was ent long enough! if some one could show me detailed shots of brackets made to hold these axles idd be very thankfull!

David Brown 1410 power!

David Brown 1410 power! Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks all! yes deerest im having fun along the way. through filling and shaping bits to fit the model ect.. im trying to get it as acurete as i can so it will take a while still to get done but it should be a good job when finnished! im learning a lot from doing this so any future builds such as a DB 1490 should be a lot quicker made as i will know what to do when it comes to shaping the model ect.. to get it acurate and right! regards james.
