I agree, I have fitted a pma/artisan linkage and it took a fair bit of cuting and rebuilding to get right. But it looked ok in the end. Never fitted an agriscale so I'm not sure but it wouldn't take mutch for it to be better and easier to fit. I was fitting it to a wiking tho

Well if the get any bigger pete stands a chance of slipping down the gap in the seat

It's all a bit rough at the min, but i will make some welds up on the joints etc before paint,

last a photo of the real one

Then the front linkage, and the front casting of the 515 to get the front lights,Its not fixed yet, thats why they are a bit wonky.I will do this after painting the chassis

Also a photo of the pivot I was after

next the central spine, wheels and axal are just in position to get the hights right

when looking through my old brochures i came across one for the xylon, I have never seen one in the flesh, but it's always a tractor that  I have liked....so i thought I would build one for my collection as it's been a while since I have built a tractor for myself,and altho I do a lot of paint effects I do love building stuff

So after being sold a siku one (Anyone who knows me will no how I love siku ) by a helpfull forum member, I thought I would make a slow start...well that went to pot as I reached into my display case for my 515c, that is now in bits as a donor tractor Ahhh :'(  ordered a new one from barry tonight.

Anyway a few hours later, and a few to many cigarets and cups of tea this is what I have done so far, I wanted the front to be as close as possible to the real tractor, so I chopped the front off the siku and started a fresh, I also wanted it to pivot like the real one to.

God! even the seat and stuff in the cab look super sized

another version for you to have a go at!!

Im in love :'( I take it thats a refurb, it looks fantastic

well we could alway plant rice boss

"I wanted my Massey Heavy Weathered"

Bumtush!! Just for DD!!  :laugh:

due to true quality MF enginering, the cab floor was totaly dry

Bloody hell , the farmer in the last few photos only thinks one way...BIG

Right after mutch swearing at my pc . Do you mean like this one mate

Nice....If I were a rich man :'(  done a bit with one of these,,,and watched someone roll one

Pm ed

I would agree, many sell themselves short, sometimes it is very hard to charge someone for the hours a job takes. I find it hard when I sit back and look at a finished model and think "I hope they think its worth it" Is my work good enough? or worth that mutch  etc etc, I have to admit if I actualy charged by the hour I don't think anyone would order my work . Hats off to you

I love following your work DD!

Any pictures of the other project I sent you?

Hmmm I could post a very nice photo of it in my display case in the house, few friends even think I have bought one "laugh out loud"

Stay calm oh green blooded one It sall be ready for spalding

Errrm and the odd rc car body shell should you need one

new finish, lighter mud with a new top secret method

Dioramas

I thought I would start a thred in this sections and just add photos of the bits I get up to as I am prepaired to replicate anything I do if someone wants me to, errm for a small fee

I am happy to do most things mud, dust finishes. tractor moddifications paintwork and colour changes & dioramas

well got up in my parents loft today and got most but not all of the brochures I have down. couple of photos of some of the better ones, loads of tarrup ones that I've not bothered with in the photos

from what i have heard, fendt are realy pushing the fuel economy, In the life of the tractor you should save ££££££ acording to the figures.
