I ordered some stuff for my next conversion from them, first time i've ordered from them, great service prompt delivery, can't complain. They have some nice custom built models on there, dread to think how much they would cost, also a good selection of bits and bobs for conversions.

Looks awesome, especially liking how you've managed to get some of the mud dry and some looking wet as though it has just gone on, really adds to the realism. Feel sorry for the farm worker who has got to clean it all off!!!!!!!

They were for sale at Spalding as i pick a front and a rear mower up. Mind you only one seller had them. As for when everyone else will have them i'm not sure.

Stunning detail in this layout, look forward to the other sections that you might add in the future. What have you used to create the terrain, so that you've got hills and the depth to do a pond?

I use artisan32 they stock PMA linkages front and back, weights and other good bits.

My winning time was 24.0 seconds

Fantastic day and great to meet fellow FTF members. My haul consisted of: Replicagri Claas front and rear mower Replicagri 8560 Replicagri Razol rolls Britains massey with evrard sprayer x2 Ertl JD Gator and lawn mower Siku Claas axion with duels Three Oaks Farm models Cherry flat bed trailer and order two KTWO grian trailers Cattle feeders and construction netting from Mandy Some decals from PDC Some Brochures of Fastracs, demount sprayers, NH 8560 and JD Finally didn't buy, but won a Britains NH T9.390 for the FTF time trial.

A few bits and bobs from Mandy. Pheasant and Duck shoot set. Some britains cattle Pressure washer, chainsaws, tools, tap and hose, some flock, and blended turf Some cattle, sheep and pheasant feed sacks, and some slug pellet sacks Some more shots of the sacks in my farm layout section, Mandy supplied the sacks and pallets, then i have shrink wrapped them with cling film to give them more realism

I previously had an Isuzu Rodeo for three years and it didn't put a foot wrong, the best mpg i got out of it was 36mpg, but that was being really economic and not how i would usually drive. Very comfy to drive, but like any of these double cab pickups a bit bumpy in the back for passengers. The new models are even nicer inside with the built in sat nav and leather seats. I now currently own a L200 Barbarian slightly bigger truck than the isuzu, has a great engine in it, the four wheel drive system is brilliant and would be futher improved with correct off road tyres. The ride is slightly firmer than the isuzu, but this seems to make it better for passengers in the back. Hope this is of some help.

There is a good amount of room and having the canopy top would mean you could stack them up. However if it is serious amount of boxes, may i suggest a van ;D

After i've done a couple of tanks i will work out what i am averaging. Not as comfy as an Isuzu, but not far off, but better than a Ford. Engine is brilliant, plenty of power for overtaking.

I'm an electrician, however i do some agricultural work for some local farmers.

Tris unfortunately not, the yellow steps are mine the triple gangs are the company i work for. CMB it does have a turbo.

Got my new truck, Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian, absolutely thrilled to bits with it so far.

Could you do both have a display that has got different scenes on it. If not do what you a most happy doing.

Well i'll get the ball rolling, been and purchased a new acer netbook, absolutely brilliant so far. Also put down a deposit for my new truck, a Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian in red, hope to get it a bit later in the month. Will post pics when it arrives.

Great start to the new building, i would use the enclosed bit as a workshop the your farm workers can repair the machinery in the dry. As for the trailer with the Massey, get another one behind it and make it really grunt!!!!

Got myself the UH Gregoire Besson Big VR Pro and some Siku Ropa tyres

Thank you so much for all you comments

It wasn't too bad, stripped it down and then worked out from measurements where it would need to be cut, the hardest part was getting the bonnet to sit right.

Rear linkage Next to the 8530 and 6930

This has been my latest project, it consist of a shortened precision ertl JD 8530 chasis and cab, britains bonnet, Wiking JD rear linkage, custom built front linkage, Siku Fendt rear tyres and Siku JD 7530 front tyres. Still have a little work to do on the front linkage, but otherwise i am rather happy with it. This was the beginning of the build Here is the result

Just won an UH Tecnoma sprayer on ebay for a reasonable price, for a future project.

Mine looks as though there has been a John Deere massacre at the moment.

Here is my first attempt at some weathering, i have used a airbrush to put some rust paint and mud paint on and a tamiya mud pen for the large quantity of mud. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, its no masterpiece like what some people can do on the forum, but its good enough.
