Deere-est Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 For the Britains single axle tipping trailer. Plastruct sheet, angle, plastic coated wire and a bit of mesh. Job done. Bit rough bit they'll do for the comp. Making a set for another trailer now Quote
Deere-est Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 Cheers bro The tailgat was a bit fiddley as I used angle all round the sides, then glued laid the mesh on it and glued thin strips of plastic all round the back side of it. Quote
Fenside MF Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Thats a great idea Tris and all done in a weekend as well lovely jubbly I'll have to borrow your idea to go on my griffiths some time. Quote
Deeredriver Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Pretty good tris i got about 4 trailers that could use them on get busy buddy ;D ;D Quote
Deere-est Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 Yeah I started them some time yesterday afternoon and then came home, three coats of red oxide and that was it. Now I have done one set the second should be easier. Me too Nick, luckily though for the old layout they'll be back loading so I just need the two Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Lovely work Tris... turns a boring trailer into a work of art... Quote
martin Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 tris a tip for you on the door instead of using angle use the U shape plastic right round then you just slot the mest into it and glue the bottom bit on Quote
FB Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 nice work Trissy! ;D, looks great....will be better when you have the time to do them the way you really want with no rushing! Quote
Kiwi6920 Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Nice job tris, just like the real thing, draged out from under the trees fo another week of the year Love it Quote
Deere-est Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 tris a tip for you on the door instead of using angle use the U shape plastic right round then you just slot the mest into it and glue the bottom bit on Top man, thanks for that :) That'll make it a damn sight easier. Do you think the extensions ought to have bracing strips on, maybe just one in the mieddle on either side? Might do it anyway. Thanks for all the compliments guys. It's nice to get away from the buildings for a while and excercise the mind a bit Quote
Deeredriver Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I recon it would look better Tris some up the front corner then just follow up the side where the braces are on the grain body. Not that theres anything wrong with it right now mate Quote
robl12 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Very nice there tris, quick and simple, great. Are you going to leave them in red oxide or paint them blue??? Quote
Deere-est Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 They won't stay in red oxide I expect. They may go on an MF200, so MF red I expect. Quote
nashmach Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Nice tidy job there Tris - much better than the Britains versions Quote
MJB1 Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 hmm missed this ? well done tris , i was messing about with silage sides for these trailers last year, albeit trying to modify the britains ones you got them looking spot on mate ,may give it a try at sometime Quote

Done. yes i saw them out in the field , but cant of taken much notice of them , they looked in place where they were , bit like a lot of farm equipment , that sort of thing is always there so you just dont see it so your display was spot on mate Quote
