** HF Models **
The latest models and accessories from HF Models, the stitcher vibro probe, is available in different lengths representing 7 metre to 11 metre. The stitcher can be purchased fully built & painted or a kit of unpainted parts is also available. To fit the stitcher to the ABI piling rig from Conrad, an adaptor coupler is also available, as shown in the pictures below.

The hopper has excellent internal structural detailing with a non-functioning hydraulically operated door which has been modelled between the hopper and tube.

The vibro probe has been authentically created and because it is produced using a 3d printer, all the internal structure is also replicated, with a hole from the tip of the probe all the way to the hopper footing. The surface detailing is very nicely produced, as seen from the image below.
HF Models has produced several rather interesting foundation equipment accessories, available as kits or fully built and finished pieces which will fit several 1:50th scale foundation models. The range will expand with additional items as they are developed.
The casing tube is available in scaled lengths from 1 metre to 6 metres in three different diameters, 1200mm 1500mm and 2000mm. Casing shoes are also available along with chisels and hammer grabs which operate from the winch of a suitable crane. Over the coming weeks, I will take a close look at these attachments, highlighting the parts provided in the kits and showing the assembly stages. Each of the kits come with comprehensive instructions on how to assemble the models.
The current range of items is listed below, along with a link to the current catalogue providing all the details and prices.
