MOC: Massey-Ferguson Tractor

[lightningtiger]

As I'm planning a vehicle dealership, so I need some vehicles........first a Massey-Ferguson tractor....

What you do all think ?

Comments welcome and I'm a conformist! !

It looks very similar to the official Lego version. I think the roof is a different colour, and the exhaust piece is new; what else have you changed? Maybe a comparison shot to 7634 would help?

Take a 7634 - strip it down to just the wheels and tech-brick chassis and start all over again, the engine is longer and it more true for the three point coupling on the back for machinery to be attached. Exhaust stack is from the rubbish truck 7991.

But okay............

Lego's 7634

Mine new tractor

Here's a tractor that I based some of the features on.

Now play spot the differences ?

Thanks for the comment anyway 'Rufus' and I'm a conformist! !

Thanks for the reply 'LandofLego', nice of you to say so !

Other vehicles......hmm........6 wide Holden Commodore Ute - that's going to be a hard one - oh yeah a small car which will be 5 wide (not done one of those yet) and a heap of 7 wide trucks (ditto ditto - that will be fun ! )

I'm a conformist! everyone !

For the small car, you could build something like an Astra or Cruze.

As for the Ute, here is a 6-wide commodore UTE design I built that may give you some ideas (although if I was building one now I would build it differently)
