Hey Mark haveyou uploaded any more Hattie movies yet?

2 silage bales from DMullen, cheers mate!

The sprayer is a fantastic model and would make a great centrepiece to your setup!

There was a orange body one produced , pretty rare to but for the life of me can't remember what the chassis colour was , but I  have a picture on a website at home so will check , gut reaction is it should be black mind

Yeah the chassis are black and there's a photo in the 1992 Britains catalogue.

I agree it's a marriage of two models. Look how worn the chassis is compared to the dumper. If they were together as new the dumper would show more signs of wear also.

I did clean the dumper up 

So its maybe a bitsa....hope you did not pay over the odds for it CMB

Only £15 in total Bill.

I'm pretty sure it's not an Autoway shell Sonny because those are much brighter yellow than this \

I won this on Ebay recently:

I think it might be a pre-production version but the only orange-bodied one I can find is in the 1992 catalogue and that has the plain black chassis and no decals. As I understand it, the last use of the "Shawnee" decal was in 1987 on the blue one with 6600 tyres sold with the Massey 2680. The Rear Dump briefly ceased production, only to come back (by popular demand?) in 1992-1995 with black chassis and a green/orange body. Only other explanation I can think of is this one was taken off the black chassis and put on the old red chassis, though I don't think that can be done without breaking it (and there are no visible break/scuff marks on this one).

Does anyone else have one similar to this?

What make is the rear discharge spreader?

Ford beavertail transporter truck, Forest Enterprise Land rover MIMB.

Is that Fernworthy forest in the background?

Sorting my collection out, picture coming soon.

Excellent photos, really do the models justice!

These are great, thanks Ziko! You've got a very amenable boss letting you take all those photos!

This fab little Dave B From Dave T:

The cab I thought was a little low; I had to use the little lwb landrover driver and even he had trouble!

Oh dear not very sensitive but it did make me chuckle: http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s1i78227

A short -and I mean short- clip of the Montana performing its gymnastics:

Oi wash your mouths out you lot!  Where's the moderator when you need him?

hey guys just wondering what would be the nearest halfords colour for the massey 760 combine its one of the very last macau made ones..need to touch it up a bit after making the header detachable thanks

I'm afraid I can't answer the paint question, but curious to see the result of this conversion!

Well, think I have secured some extra work if and when I need it/they need help. Had a few hours at a contractors yard as said and has to be said, quite a bit of kit and a range of jobs going on all the time there. Hope to be able to work there, it works out worth the mileage which was my main concern.  :)

Sounds good. Don't forget get us photos (if he lets you!)

Zipping around on a Husky Rider, and got to try out my new bill hook on a suitably scrubby slope.

Love the granite stone buildings! What ground material did you use for the farm yard and peat uplands?

how big is that seeder, 8 mtr??

The Vaderstad on the Deere is 6m.

Does anybody know if Walker Parts do custom-made warning decals?
