Thanks David, this one came out of Wales from our usual source along with its two siblings. Then there was this one, which left the yard via a container and in the more usual red colour. Interior shots Not the same one but another 2680 off for a new life somewhere hot, whilst to many these old tractors die a death and are beyond their owners mechanical repair, they often have a lot left to give and are still working hard somewhere now.

ford 6610 ap cab
Deere-est replied to freds conversions's topic in Latest Tractor Conversions & Scratch Builds
That's outstanding. I have to say that is a definite 'want' for me now having seen what you have done. It would not look out of place against a Marge Ford. -
Looks like a flipping mess!! Just the outcome you wanted, no doubt!! It looks fantastic, reading your method you obviously know your stuff and take your time on the colours and layering. In much the same way a real machine gradually gets dirty over the year(s). Really like all of them, especially the cab of the 7810 - I have collected plenty of 10 series looking just like that.

Top 5 tractors of all time!
Deere-est replied to masseyferguson390's topic in General Hobby Discussion
I gather the top two were at your current job? What about the others? When the 8000 series came out I always hoped for a drive in one but sadly never did nor have yet -
Beautiful little place, Mark. Hope you had a nice break there. We use Ash for kindling so we find a lot of well priced Ash come our way soo but at what cost? I'm sure if there is going to be a lot of the stuff and the price plummets, every Tom, **** & Harry will have a go at the log job. Rather just see the tree's remain standing to be honest.

They do look very good indeed, can the same mould be used to try different materials? Like maybe some sort of plaster/ground down stone compound?

Or Ros' Kim75 (I think), he posts on here sometimes too. -
I love that first photo, Dave. The house with the field of cows behind is a typical country scene and you've made a nice job of that. You've got some nice Hubbard Fabrications sheds too!

Obtaining a license to build models
Deere-est replied to MuirHillyBilly's topic in General Hobby Discussion
Depending on the owner of the brand which isn't always the brand name - especially talking of older manufacturers - it can be a minefield to get all parties to agree on the same thing and such licences can and do cost thousands of pounds. -
Whats your latest Farm/Construction buy 2012
Deere-est replied to Gav836's topic in General Hobby Discussion
Picked up a MIB Britains plough set for under a tenner off of eBay for the Yesteryear collection and a couple of days ago after a listing ended I managed to strike a deal for an unsold item, another Holy Grail of mine - Britains blue Leyland milk tanker, MiMB. Super pleased with that one. Leaves just the Road Series Mercedes cement mixer in orange in the way of lorries to get now -
Most sheds around here are 20ft bays and single spans up to 80ft. For roof pitch, something like 15deg I think, can't remember off the top of my head. I did my research by Googling up the names that advertise in the Farmers Weekly. Some give the measurements and angles of all you need to know.
