I think it is the washing that makes all the zip tags go brittle, Harry. Then after a while they snap and you can't undo your fecking pockets! :ha ha!:

I find them very flat though, Chris and stood at the wood processor can be a bit heavy on the feet after a full day of it. Carharrt do some fantastic looking boots but they work out at £112 from America before postage!! TO be honest, CAT boots are my preferred leisure boots, hadn'teven thought about making them a work boot... Could be on to something there buddy.

Interesting on the boot's, Harry. Best workwear I have ever had is Bjornklader which was company supplied to me as an employee of Agrivert. Overalls are still going now, ten years on and having been to USA and NZ with me. Forgot about the name until now, may look them up!

Resurrecting an old topic I know but saves starting a like for like one. Work boots. I always 'dealer boots' the slip on elasticated sides type boot. Had Buckler, Hoggs, Dickies and Dr Martens. They all last around a year but I wear them six days a week near enough every week. I want something different now, more support, more comfortable, lace up (maybe). Cost isn't too much of an issue as I spend so much time in work boots then the money is worth it. Any recommendations or suggestions from those in similar fields of work. .. .. Or yards of course!! And workwear. Always been a Dickies man there but to be honest the quality is fading fast. Poor zips in the trousers, four hole shirt buttons only stitched through two holes.. ..Bought some Scruffs work trousers a week or two ago on a whim as I needed at least one pair pretty quickly and they seem quite good but what else is out there? I may go Carhaart as what I have owned of theirs in the past has been superb and rivalled by nobody.

Better than watching most of what is on the tele nowadays, Harry. Most of it is tosh!

Takes two looks to realise that is a model!! JAMAZING!!! :ha ha!: :ha ha!:

I'll make that a date, Dave

I know what you mean! I'll sort that Barry. ... . don't tell me you want to see photos of it drying though purrrlease!!

Definately, Harry. Hope I can say the same when I retire!!!!

Nice. Proper beast.

Even the dye needed mixing from a paste to a fluid!! It's a long story but one of the walls is lime plaster so cannot be painted with modern paints. so to make sure we get the same shade on all the walls, lime plaster and gypsum plaster we have had to use white paints and then dye them! Long winded! Excellent results thought

Looks a good model, what tractor gives this the grunt it needs then?

Nice big photos to look at, some nice models on show so far. What is the story with the bedtiller, did you make that yourself or buy it and then modify it for the new applicator yourself?

Sign up to Photobucket, Alex. Bang six links in each post on here and fire away. Must be a hell of a layout.... Be a shame not to reach out to eeeeeven more folks!

There is a handy Classifieds section tailored just for Wanted and For Sale ads

Got my the hedging done, got half the front bedroom painted after mixing the paint, arduous task that was!! 1L of paint, 250ml water and 400 drops of watered down dye through a pippet!!

I don't bother with Twitter either, my HTC makes enough noises as it is. No, FTF has all I need for the model farming

Is that something you would consider at a later date for it?

Would love to see that in action!! Where I go in Wales with the hay there is a big road project on. On site is an old Morooka with a post banger on the back corner and a platform where the dumper would go for stakes and wire, tools and so on. Looks like a bloody good tool for the job. For me, walk Zia, bit of hedgetrimming, paint the front bedroom too with a bit of luck.

Bet that made your ass twitch!!! No damage and no injury so all's good in the end. I hate that walk, I have had to do it too!!

I can only think it was on some sort of brush cutter / stump grinder being that the diesel tanks have also been moved up infront of the cab.

Ah, no I mean a brick wall but I'm sure constructing a master out of cut stone as you have done so well here would be nigh on impossible. I should think for bricks the master would have to be sculptured from something? Then it begs the question whether sculpting would be easier than casting from it.

I hope it is food for thought. I appreciate the lengthy process, it's not something I would wish to undertake to be honest but hopefully if you get on well with this project . .. I may never have too!!! :) Has brickwork crossed your train of thought?

Nice mix of tractors in any case, Phil. Nice ot have those memories too I should think. 4455, eh? What a lovely great hulk of iron

Now I can see these on the computer screen I have to say (and agree with others) these are truly excellent and if you can do this - don't stop. Sean and I use Scaloox blocks to make this kind of walling but as Scaloox they can no longer be bought. The moulds can be bought from Jigstones so you can make your own in batches. However, time and so forth the customer usually wants a finished product - such as what you have done. If I can suggest one thing, the ends of each section need to be dovetailed (easiest way I could describe it) so that you can interlock them to make longer walls without the visible vertical line. www.jigstones.com Scaloox as I used it:
