Fendthead

nice to see three oaks have got a trailor dirty , dioramas look very good, not sold on the dirty tractors yet

vistor numbers I heard were around 800 ish.

what surprised me now is the size of some of the modern 1/32 releases,had a look at a wiking jd baler it seemed a bit overscale to me and quite a few other like the siku show model

You say that, but I used to own and operate a JD 590 when they were the most current bailor before I left farming. I walked past one of those new JD's in the flesh in our local JD dealers yard, It's bloody huge!, in comparison to the 590. Mind you eather I'm getting old or the JD stuff seems BIG these days there was also a new 6420 thing parked close to an old tired 6400,it's about twice the size of the old model, even an old 6800 looked small next to it.

Nice to see all the old faces, and a couple of real damn ugly ones, but hey the UTS boys make up for it in charm ....bought a few things I had no intention of like a wiking 939black,ford 5640 and a couple of other bits,Did manage to collect a trailor, the only thing I went to get

Seems a bit quiet this topic this year..sign of the times I guess

Just 12 days before the carnage begins

don't worry mate, I'll come and insult you for a while.Does look a little quiet,busy time of year and a week before toytrak.

You do see them come up now and again at shows etc, but they do comand a far price

poped in for a few hours,.. mainly to rip the wee out of bazza , and drop a few tractors off, and errm pick some nice fendts  up for the display case.

Had to say seemed very quiet, but I think that could mainly be due to the stunning weather, I did say to sara  when I saw the wether forcast for this week " show will be slow". after 2hours in the small hall I was ready for the drive home with the aircon on as it was a bit sweaty betty,

was nice to have the time to walk round this time and meet a few people with some very handy bits and bobs

Roll on april, and some real naff wet weather, to bring the punters in as by then I should have enough stuff done to have a stand again

Think this show should be in november, wet cold, most of the harvsting and drilling done   and the right side of xmas

EDIT: oh and one bit of a moan £4.80 for three coffee's, in plastic cups!!!! holy smoke

Yer, by the end of this I think I will have seen quite enough case pumas Ahhhhhh

show model photos are of the prototype paint jobs, the models for the show are a lot better and have wiper marks......may have given the game away as to who is doing them

may also explain to people why I have vanished on here at the min, errrm got a bit of work on in the shed, 

Just have a play, and don't be afraid, and have a total disrespect of costly models

Bloody hell! UH must be busy, I see at least 10 broken ones every time I go to snetterton models, and some of the tractors I get sent , mudgards broken/bent, badly fitted cabs with warped plastic, stearing wheels missing ( a Massey favorit that one ), wingmirrors missing,broken flashing lights,paint falling off fendt cabs etc etc etc .....

Nice work mate, looks great! front end looks just right, I was thinking of doing another but making the mudgards wider on the back to cover the wheels...as so many people pointed this out when I first did mine

only buy models I like, and that yellow massey is just nasty...yuk even Marky would have trouble loving that ugly child

If i can be any more help just let me know

Like I said I would get some more measurments for you but someone bought a silly big tree and put it in front of my display case

Best photo I could find of the back end, but as you can see the rear wheels are close to the cab as can be before things look wrong, once you have the back width right the front has no chose but to follow, if you see what i mean

Now sorting Pm

Haha look familiar

You will have to lift up the cab a little to fit the 718 siku wheels under the mudgards,thus loosing hight could be hard

Haha

Pull his trousers down....just put me right off my lunch

make that two after schools sunny Jim .. we don't allow words like Bloody on here without some form of punishment 

Sorry sir ,But sir, if thats the case have you called the ugly brute from UTS into your office for a sever spanking? As he can be a very rude git errm man

haha you would like the cabinate tho...it fell out the back of a JD dealership   got JD all around the top

Not a big collection, only collect what I like, mostly Fendt

Have to admit, when i sat back in the workshop and looked at it I did think Hmmm maybe a drill, or a big cultivator

well it's been done before I think, But I had these wheels in a bag that i bought at spalding and the 824 was looking a bit sad, as it was sitting on blocks in the back of the display case , I swiped the back wheels when I was building my Xylon, so i thought I would have a go at fitting them...got a bit carried away started at 11pm saturday . They were not the best to fit but I'm pleased with them, so I thought I would shove a couple of photos up

errrm looking at those photos I could do with getting the old duster out in the display case

well I liked that one ,so I made another just for me   and sat it next to the big girl in my collection

The only thing that gets on my nerves is these bloody uh fendt door pillars some are ok and others bow out, by the time I found this one was bowing it was to late, to try and fix would risk damaging the paint . There was a thred about this on here a year or so ago

EDIT got brave with a screwdriver as I was about to box up...sorted yay
