richo Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I know this is not strictly farm related but it is the first thing I have completley scratch built and wanted some feedback. I have in my mind one day to do a large demolition diorama and this is the start. This in 1/50 scale. I am sure that a similar item in 1/32 scale would look good in a farm diorama for the scrap mans visit! The rear door is hinged and the rear rollers move.

Jez Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 That looks fantastic. A brilliant new conversion we don't normally see but would fit into any farm. Can you build some 1/32 scale shipping containers now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescot Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Good Idea Jez, plenty of these around farms now for storage.......near neighbours lock up their quads in one with tools around the sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richo Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thanks for all the comments, I am very pleased with how it has tured out. Next is some paint, If anyone has any tips on how to make it look used and abused like the ones that have scrap squashed into them I will gladly listen! I will post up more photos as and when but I don't think progress will be that fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 full...................typically give me a rough idea.......... getting £160 a tonne for the scrap ...dunno if thats good bad or indifferent.................sorry am goin off topic Up to around 16 tonnes in the skip....all depends on the density of the material of course. £160 a tonne collected isn't a bad price for your area I don't think.... we're currently getting between £220 (light iron) and £270 (O/A - Constructional) a tonne around here.

richo Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Here is an update, hope it is ok to post these up as they are construction models and in 1/50 scale.
