I still think that if UH wanted they could make a replica every bit as good in 1/32 as 1/16. I don't believe the detail really has all that much to do with the scale. I think it has to do with a turn in the market, 1/16 was mainly played with by kids, now they are playing with 1/32 & 1/64 and collectors are now collecting 1/16. All the detail is probably not worth putting on if they are being played with. I think you need to get out more CM and have a look at some small stuff and see how detailed it is. As the saying goes. "Good Things Come In Small Packages" Nuff Said :D

NO I forgot the punctuation....read it again should be I agree. Marky.........

I agree Marky ( I am sure I'll regret asking this :D ) Can I ask your opinion and what is the detail like on UH 1:43 MF

Well I will be contacting the lady that does the US version of the scaloox and be getting myself some of that and give it a whirl. I was reading she had 1/32 available

Well stone the crows that looks bloody brill Tris, like the grease idea too When you making mine :D

Point taken Cropmaster, but I think UH could make 1/32 models with just as much detail as their 1/16 counterparts. There are lots of items being produced in tiny tiny scales with so much detail it makes you wonder how they do it..1/32 is not that small of a scale that it can't be done.

Well all I can say is you must not have too many models Cropmaster either that or you have unlimited storage space and 's. UH may well produce excellent 1/16th models but if that is the only company you are looking at you may find that most 1/32 models are just as detailed as the 1/16th models. Have you seen any of the Ertl models in 1/16th scale Sand box toys is what they are called I believe hardly worthy of any detail. I don't collect for detail, I collect for what pleases my eye and fits in with my collection. I don't have any UH, Siku or any other manufacturer in my collection.Britains through and through I am buying Markys MF, not because of detail or scale, but just to support a fellow forums members business venture. Everyone has there reasons for collecting what they do, and I personally think that the UH would sell better in 1/32. I believe it was mentioned on here quite some time ago that the 1/16 was produced in the hopes of cracking into the North American market.

Good so far Nigel, take care with the topcoat and don't mess it up. I won't just put any old rubbish on display you know :D

Smashing Gav........ :P

Surely that is a statement you can't argue with !!!!! Also didn't UH cock up the 1/16 version of the FORD ? (sorry can't remember it's exact name) and they screwed the name up on the Ferguson boxes too.........accurate perhaps not :D :D

It was actually a funny story Marky.

Oh did someone say something

Doesn't happen often but I gotta post when it pops in my head :D Those hinges look bloody great Tris, dab of grey paint and you'll be well away. Were they easy to make?

Quick Tris get a chimley up there.....it'll be way to cold popping out to the cowshed on Xmas morn in yer budgie smugglers :D

Lovely Tris absolutely cracking job.........at this rate you'll be all moved in for Christmas :D :D

Trissssssssssssss you forgot about FM and Old Ford, actually there are a lot of people doing buildings and such it is hard to remember everyone

Listed on UH site as 1:43 Had a peek while on the site and looks as though the trailer and harrow will be available seperately, and also noticed a slip of the tongue too......... They are selling packages of 20 balls...................(bales)

Don't forget Ben's or Marky's otherwise they will pelt us with rotten fruit :D
