Looking good and I am looking forward to the finished article. A lot of the 12ft and 14ft ones up here had a headstock at one end for transport and a lot of them have a double crumbler roller setup.

The one at my work has a mechanical linkage which hits on two lugs on the chassis, when lowering the body from the tipped position, therefore pushing the rear door upwards to the closed position. Hope that helps

Looking good Gav

With regards to subscriptions, I would think that it would run from the first issue you got for 6 issues, a years subscription. I subscribed from the first issue so expect mine to run out with issue twelve. I just hope it arrives more or less on time and with some improvement to the amount of content, if not then I may consider not renewing as I dont see why I should pay good money just to get wound up because its not arriving. I do hope the problems can be resolved as there is nothing else out there for us.

Sorry for confusion, I meant the real tractors

The older bendy versions still had the steering front axle, but with the steering ram blocked off with spacers, so presumably these newer models are just the same. Hope this info helps.

I have plans for the 818, duals, beacons +. I can't make up my mind whether to do a front press or a front hopper.

Brilliant just brilliant

Heres a couple more. I'm really pleased with this one as I can still use the harrow on its own if needed and don't have to buy another unmodified one

Hello all I've been working on this since I got it a couple of weeks ago. Taken a while as the workshops a bit bl***y baltic at this time of year whenits frosty out.

Nice collection there :) I have acouple of glass cabinets from Argos, their quite nice as they have a mirrored back to them which lets you see different angles of the models. Check out MY COLLECTION in this topic and you will see some pics of them.

There will be a shortened trailer with stock body on it plus more! I will post pics up when I get it done, but garage is to bl***y cold just now. I find if Im not comfortable I start to rush things and make a mess of them, so I just don't start if I'm not in the mood. Thats why some of my projects take months!!

Yes Tris what have you got planned for them? I like,no, like a lot those T cabs, will have to keep a look out for those!

For me it has to be the Ford 6600. The farm my grandad worked on used to have one just like it.

Great job Tris 8) Your way out in front of me now, I havn't started my trailer at all yet :( Whats the trailer wheels from? Looking forward to more pics of this outfit.

I have one on terras ;D :)

Very nice work Nigel!! Always a pleasure to see new different models to the norm.

You guessed it, Conversion done by a friend of mine

I used to get Truck Model World, but stopped getting it a couple of years ago when I decided to concentrate on my first passion 1/32 scale farming! I think I'd give myself a heart attack if I knew how much I'd spent over the years :o

Lastly my Joal JCB3CX. JCB engined version and with extra buckets and rock hammer. Hope everyone has enjoyed looking at my collection. I will try and keep upto date with posting convo pics etc as I get them done. Thanks for everyone's comments, it inspires me to keep going. :)

Two Emek Scania's with ROS tractors

Some larger stuff now. I used to build 1/24 scale kits and did some kit bashing aswell. Got rid of most of the kits but kept my Merc 6 wheeler, as it was my first proper conversion/scratchbuild

Ertl tractors

Heres the last few pics of my collection. Starting with the new Volvo FH and Siku limited ploughs
