Deere-est Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Triffic! Ian, it does look great buddy. This isn't just a transplant of parts and it shows. Looks like every piece has been doctored' in some way to make it 'perfect' rather than 'ok' if you know what I mean. The mirrors look perfect. How did you do the vent on the bonnet top?

Agrium Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thanks Deere-est, the bonnet vent was acheived using a very sharp blade, its just cross-harch, not sure yet what it will look like once the blue paint is on Im really enjoying making one off items. It doesn't matter that they take hours to get anything done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrium Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Very nice indeed :) Have you cast the cab roof from a 8670 ? Im not sure what the cab roof is modelled off ? its resin, but I've just widened mine by 4mm, it hangs over the cab pillars a bit better now.

Agrium Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 :)A bit closer to finishing after last night's work Widened the cab roof by 3.5mm to fit the valtra Cab pillars as the cab is slightly bigger than the britains. Raised the cab floor around the seat to create the raised floor, made grooved mat for the pedal area. The model now needs the finishing touches. Seat and Dashboard, twin beacons, plenty of lights and handrails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
