my new ploughing rig mf1250

[Tractorman810]

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,

[Tractorman810]

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

[Tractorman810]

unfortunatly i messed the bonnets angle up a little so had to re line it to the right angle hence the gap in it

[Tractorman810]

still on the first rims as you can see, shes fitted with a siku rear hitch, front ends weighted inside with some lead strip from work

[Tractorman810]

new rims now fittted, as i said from nigle, look a lot better than the first set i had, and i thought they looked smart anyway

[Tractorman810]

air filter and exhaust fitted along with the front grill and cab top also made

[Tractorman810]

seem to have forgotten the primed up pics of her, but her she is at the moment, front lights ect all fitted, still loads to do yet mind, so will be a while getting it done yet

[Tractorman810]

so thats it for now, hope you enjoyed it

[Old Ford]

i thought it looked good before the paint mate but now WOW. LOOKING EXCELLENT. Well done Sean :P

[FB]

lovely work there Sean, i've wondered how it would look! :)

[Tractorman810]

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

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 

[Tractorman810]

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

[Johny mf]

Youve realy out done youre self this time Sean.

What a EXELENTPEACE of work

I think this model is GREAT

[MF Joel NZ]

Great work Sean

A real credit to your skills

[MDFord]

Remarkable piece of work, well done Sean

May I ask what you use as "filler" on the plastruct joints?

[Deere-est]

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 

[graham]

lovely job sean look forward to seeing her all finished cracking job

[Kiwi6920]

Fair play to you sean, that is one hell of a build, you realy have some skill mate, yet again a stunning first class build

[toyfarmer]
