Not doing the hard sale but i have these instock if you can't find thanks Martyn. Martyn's Farm Models.

After posting model pic's this week i thought i would show some of the real stuff out of the shed the first is the Case IH 1056xl with TB turbo which has been on the farm from new with still less then 2,000 hours! on the clock still does a few hours a year clearing snow etc.

The second is my 1968 Western Massey Ferguson 1130 which is still in her working clothes with a little over 8,000 hours on the clock. I have always had a soft spot for 1000 series MF tractors. But before my time we had a MF1100 on the farm from new which i would love to still find. Will post more when i find more pic's thanks for looking Martyn.

You win first prize well sort of ! I found a very nice original tractor and took all the measurements and the old Britains TW20 bonnet and engine was to short this would be ok for the 7710. With a lot of cutting and filling so there was no under cuts when cast because the rubber mould would not come out then the resin also. The engine of the UH TW30 lends its self very well as UH has missed the intercooler pipe casting under the exhaust manifold which the 8700,9700,TW10,TW20 would not have had and the real only diffrences between the TW20 engine and the TW30 was the intercooler The TW30 is a whole 1in longer than the TW20 in the wheel base so not really noticable. Again with the 4wd 9700 and TW20 etc the front axle was a ZF (or ZP ok i'll put me anorak on) which was side drive driven from a large drive casting bolted in front of the left trumpet housing. Again UH missed this on the TW30 as they made this the later type centre drive and this had to be cut off and filled before casting.The front weights are of the older style that would also fit the TW 10 and 20.The rear wheel weights are also cast in resin and the base weight made to fit the UH rear wheel. The left hand diesel tank under the cab is also cut down on the 4wd model and cast in resin as the 2wd version go back to the trumpet housing. Hope this is of some help thanks Martyn.

UH MF 6290

Thanks for the great messages yes the ZF axle is one i have made and have had cast in white metal along with the rear wheel weights which are in resin along with the new shorter diesel tank. I quess one day i could make the axle and drive line to fit the UH TW30 so that this model would be correct.

Just added these to the collection Wiking Limited Edition Fendt 828 in white, Ertl Farm show 2012 CaseIH 370 CVT Chrome chase edition, and one of 50 Britains CaseIH Police puma's built for Case to give away by Peter Hardy. Will try and do more on here when i get time Martyn.

Here's one for you blue blooded fans normally make mostly red ones but always wanted to make a 9700. Features fully steerable ZF side drive front axle. Next one hopefully TW20, TW15 and 8730 to finish.

1/25 scale all plastic kits made by Ertl in the mid 1970's they also made the John Deere 4430, IH 1466 along with a Massey Ferguson 1155 and Spirit of america MF 1155 with special stars and stripe decal set plus other custom parts. Implements were also made in kit form for these which were a four wheel wagon (trailer) and ploughs. Also at the time a John Deere 310 backhoe loader was made. Hope this helps.

New model news 1/35 / 1/32 Scale International BTD6 Crawler made by unknown model maker. Made out of all white metal and weighing 300 grams tracks are fixed. More details call Martyn's Farm Models 01449 673220.

Very disappointing :(

Agree 100% only MF 8680 and RC Plough the only two worth a look? UH will make up for this Hmmm.

I think UH have done a great job on this one but i don't know unless i have miss it on here they have cocked up abit as Ford 5000 were and still are 4 cylinder engines and 2000/3000/4000 tractors were 3 cylinder engines and if you look at the pump there is only three injector pipes coming away

1/32 Scale Fiat 555 Crawler that i got at chartres a few weeks ago. Custom made using a old cars wheeled fiat tractor then cast in resin M.

Heres a French made ferguson 30 that was the 2007 ACA club model that i got in chartres farm toy show a few weeks ago there is a limited run of only 300 models. This is made by tractoy.fr in 1/32 scale but looks a like big for that scale m

Yep thats the one!

Okay marky heres the other side all i know is that it came from a farm in bedfordshire. i got it some 4 years ago from Cheffins vintage sale to copy to make my 1/32 scale model. you are welcome to visit. Martyn

Got my 1974 MF 1080 out yesterday and give it a wash before taking it on a tractor roadrun near bury st edmunds on the 23rd of this month. The tractor is still in its working clothes with only the cab being repainted some years agos.

Heres something a little different a picture of a custom marshall 115 that was made by Mr westaveld of holland. mf135

As Ploughmaster said i don't know the maker of these models but the most common one is the

ford 7810. But there is 2wd and AP cab models as i have had and seen them and there is also tw tractors as well as in the photo of which i have is a TW35 the scale of these is around 1/43 approx or a little smaller hope this helps.? mf135
