If you should make me one like this. Not assembled, in parts, could you say a price..ich....

Hi Ramon!

Another Volvo! And you rarely see a scale compactor. Two excellent choices! ;) (Anyone built a paver yet?)

Very nice project! You have my attention, and I'll be checking for updates.

[mazdaparts]

Is the rear axle solid? You might need a differential to make it steer. With it locked it may not turn.

[Finster]

Unique build and great start so far. Looking forward to updates.

The rear axle is solid, I did a test run with it and ste steering is no problem.

[Ramon]

The progress so far.

the Chassis ready for gluing. I use the UHU endfast 300 glu and then for 5 min at 150 degree in the oven, super strong.

the cabin just before gluing. Made from 2 parts 1mm aluminium sheet, bended in the panbrake folder.

[rc_farmer]

Very interesting, i wil definitely be watching this one to the end

[titandigs]

looking good Ramon I like the fine work on the cab

[ptebbe]

Great project. I can't believe you use glue to assemble! I've never heard of that glue...how does it compare to JB Weld?

UHU plus endfest 300 2-K-Epoxidharzkleber.

It is possible to put this in the oven for 7 min on 150 degrees the glue get stronger when you heat it up , up to 3000n/cm2.
If you have to glue another part to the part that is glued the glue will stay strong. dont overheat or leave the parts longer than 7 min in the oven.
after the glue cooled off you can sand it drill in it and paint it.
It is not possible to powder coat the glue.
I used the glue on al my models and some are 8 years old and no problems.
I dont have the option to weld or solder the Aluminium so this glue is perfect.

[RCP57]

Very nice!

[Snochaser]

Awesome work. Looks terrific.

[modelbouwer]

Hallo Ramon

Super de modellen van je
verder is alles goed met jullie

gr Martin Wezel

[Espeefan]

Wow. This is turning out incredible! Your cab is amazing. Is it separate pieces off your CNC mill, glued together as well? The fit and finish is amazing. The whole compactor looks flawless right now.

[egronvold]

very nice looking machine. I like your setup of the powered roller.

[Ramon]

After a weekend in the garage the compactor is ready for painting. It will get the Volvo collours. I hooked up the electronics as well and have a test drive everything works well only the steering servo is to weak. change this over the coming week.

[Espeefan]

Beautiful! I can't wait to see it all painted up and operating. Definitely one of the cooler, more unique builds I've seen on the forum.

[cosworth34677]

wow thats really cool.

[diesel950]

looked very good on the weekend, pity the steering servo stopped you from giving it a roadtest on the new road sunday.

[Ramon]

compacter is ready to rock & roll.

That's a sweet looking rolla great job

[Stefan]

Hi Ramon,
Very nice compactor and a beautiful Volvo fleet. Wish I could keep up with your pace.

Stefan

[Lil Giants]

That's some fine craftsmanship you have accomplished Ramon. :cool:

Now time to shoot some video & show us if they work as good as they look? ;) :)

[Espeefan]

Wow, you definitely finished the compactor off beautifully! You've got a nice fleet of equipment. What's next?

[sparkycuda]

That is a fabulous model! In the dirt, it is so realistic - hard to know it is not a 1:1. Great job!

[Espeefan]

Impressive! It seems to work very well! Thanks for sharing the video. I could see operating one of these machines being a lot of fun, even if it's not the first type of machine that pops into our heads when we think construction models!

I just happen to stumble across your video on YouTube and subscribed to you , now I connected the dots:D. How much ballast you have in the roller? I haven't filled mine yet and I don't want to go over board.

[Markus K.]

Wow! Really well done! I would like to have one in 1/10 scale! Markus
