Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 been after one of these for a while now, i have a 16th scale on the way, but couldnt justify a second brian norman 1200 and pulling the back end apart to make it useful on the layout, so 2 weekends ago i started this on the spur of the moment really, plan was to do the 699 to be honest, but this kind of got in the way a little started out with this and a lots of pics from marky f, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 wheels are scaledown, this set only lasted a few days until nigle set a new set i hadnt seen, this lot suit her a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 unfortunatly i messed the bonnets angle up a little so had to re line it to the right angle hence the gap in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 lovely work there Sean, i've wondered how it would look! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 cheers mate, shes far from perfect if i am honest, few niggley bits i should have sorted before paint, but i forgot to do them :'( :'( but for ash tree she will do until uh make one anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Excellant work, i must get round to making a few scratch built tractors. How long did this one take you? I like the F1 inspired tyre warmers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 so far i recon 3 days solid, but thats odd hrs here and there over the last 2 weeks or so, tyre warmwers are good, keeps the paint dust of the rubber, i found that a real pain to remove at times shes all 1mm thick plasti card, bar the wheels, so fully self made, worth the cost savings over the brain norman one, to date 25 quid most of that being the rims for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Crikey Sean, hell of a project to undetake but you seem to be on top of it. Going to look flipping great on that chisel plough when she's done mate, our 1200 at college blew lift ram seals all the time trying to lift a 4 furrow reversible but she handled a chisel fine. I love the wheels, they seem to be perfect to bve honest. I'm glad someone else gets mucky gluey finger prints everywhere too, I thought it was just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
