A few years ago I began
the build of the Kirovets K-700A, a Russian tractor very
unusual.
Unfortunately, for family reasons and work, I had to suspend
the construction.
To realize an accurate reproduction in every detail,
faithful to reality, it requires much time and infinite
patience.
Becoming an adult and having more responsibility, many
things have changed... free time to dedicate toscale models
of real vehicles, it is too little compared to when I made
the Uaz 469B and BRDM-2.
To continue my passion, I had to change my way of making
models.
Rather than copying exactly an actual vehicle, I project it
using my inventive and I draw inspiration from the details
that impressed me more in any vehicle scale 1:1 (it's
depending on the model I want to realize).
This allows me to simplify the construction on based to
equipment I own and to express my personal creativity in
each project.
From this new way of conceive my models, the K-T7 tractor
was born.
Through studies I had done on Kirovets, I was able to
perform any part of the 3-point hitch and the drawbar.
I had great fun to design this tractor... starting from
scratch and combining different details from actual vehicles,
blending it all together to create a unique and special
model.
For some parts of the tractor I chose the laser cutting,
because some forms would be difficult to recreate with the
equipment that I have.
Since I started making my models, I always wanted to do at
home tires and rims.
In this project, after many trials, I was able to realize my
desire.
The structure of the tractor is built entirely of steel.
Thanks to accurate design in every detail, the choice of
materials and experience accumulated over the years, I have
developed a very solid and robust model (without sacrificing
aesthetics and realism).
I am very satisfied of this model... it was a very important
challenge for me.
Being an old-fashioned tractor (without cab), you have all
the components in such a short space, without damaging the
aesthetics, it was not at all easy. Farther, the tractor is
a very complex machine to be implemented (in particular for
the 3-point hitch).
I always had a passion
for music and the electric guitar and with the help of my
wife, I've wanted to create the song for the video of this
model.
After a few months that I have built, I got the idea of
turning my passion to create models in a real job.
I hope that my idea be realized, because I'd really like to
be able to use all my experience gained over the years and
my skills, to make real the dreams of other enthusiasts like
myself.
