Fantastic Damian, weathering is very realistic as always. How does this kit compare to the Davric one?

Hi Martin, hope you're well? Compares very well with the Davric kit, but Nigel's kits are a lot stronger and sturdier. They look a lot better machine with the wider track pads than the Davric.

3D printed 1:32 D8K finished on Friday .

1:32 the finished article. Very impressed with Nigel Paines kits. 

1:50 & 1:76 ongoing.

The green beacon flashes so that the health and safety bloke can see that you've got your seat belt on.

Yes Sean I did make one work, but I've not put it on this one. It's destined for another digger.

Thanks for the birthday wishes....another year older, the numbers getting bigger, but certainly no wiser !

Thanks for all the best wishes......just one question......where and how did all those 50 years go so quickly?!

How about these two Sean.....

A pair of Britains JCB 3c's . A good base model for a bit of tinkering me thinks. Well done Britains, well worth waiting for.

Sorry to hear your sad news Bill, but like you said - he is at peace now. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Damian & Hazel

Call in mate and I'll treat you to a brew and a butty from the butty van....it'll be good to see you.

now there is a thought we can get a duplicate made and sent up with damian , why didn i think of that before , then again will just bid on the day and see what happens

And just what makes you think the duplicate would make it up to Aberdeen either Brian!

As for the bidding - I can foresee a bidding war, as the lads that I work with have all tasted Lynn's baking and have got a consortium together to bid for it. Happy bidding mate - see you Sunday.

It'll be nice to see plenty of FTF members there. We are looking forward to the show - only 15 days to go!

Just thinking of pies Barry, are you bringing Steve up with you? Is it one pie or two? Or more!!??

A couple of nice machines there Damian and lovely nice blue skies and nice photos too...... I didn't know you were into shooting game and vermin....oh sorry you meant photo shooting tractors

No you were right again Bill...vermin control ! and pictures as well .

Where have you been looking in FTF over the past few years Sean... ...I'm fairly sure Damian has a 4 wd David Brown and also a Ford County although I cannot remember the models

Yep you're right Bill...David Brown 1210 4wd and County 4000 four 4wd

Went up to the farm where my tractors live, did a bit of shooting, and saw these two beauties out working on the farm. Its good to see that as well as looking great, they can, and do, still do a goods days work.

That's no good Damien, got to have some decent audio for a day in the cab. Is this your new drive then or just something for the day?

No just the drive for the day Tris, but could get used to it, Back on the JS220 tomorrow - its a lot faster machine.

alright really but a crap radio ! It had plenty of grunt.

Playing in the muck..with big boys toys....Volvo 460 loading Terex 30 tonne dumpers - 5 buckets taking 1 minute 20 seconds to load, 5 minute turn round on the dumpers. Good days work!

I was on the phone to Damian a couple of weeks ago and despite the fact he said he could multitask...operating his JCB and talk at the same time he later said via PM it took a minute or too to understand me...surprising I thought

Talk about multitasking Bill....actually I can do 3 things at once - dig, talk and listen to the radio !!!
