PDC Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have cut two ERTL 6410's in half (in different places to gain bonnet length) and now have to join them together also I have removed the lower steps from the scrap tractor to give three steps on the 6810 ;) Loads of filling to do now ???

MDFord Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 This is looking something special Paul I'd love to have one of those myself, a very popular machine that deserves a 1/32 replica for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have to rebuild my 6410SE now with smaller wheels as i've nicked them for this : It will be worth it i'm sure though when the 68 and the 64 stand next to each other on my shelf :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 On your shelf Paul? Mmm. . . . bit selfish don't you think?! Like you said mate, this suits the wheels far better. Much better proportionally.

Tractorman810 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 you should look at getting those cast mate, like the 3140's you did recently, plenty of those green weridos will buy them :D looks spot on to me mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just a quick thought Paul would it not beef the front up a wee bit more if you put some of those weights off the JD forager on the front like Mark did with his 3650 \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
