Wow 🤩 that’s incredible work Barry 😍

Possibly the late Ron and Mick Cooper? I’ve a number of their items mostly brass. A subsoiler and a couple of ploughs they made probably back in the early 2000’s.

Just had a quick look look Joe there were 18 1/32 massey models, now only 5, 2 of them are 1/76,if i remember rightly there was a red 7726S,britains 7200 combine and various uh massey tractors

After your link I managed to nab the red 7726S! Would have loved the black one as drive a black 7720S quite often! 

That looks spot on Phil, amazing what difference the dots on the leds make look spot on as the real ones always look ‘plasticky’ I think!

Another picture online of the John Deere 6R 185.......................Much improved on their poor earlier 6R models,

Saw one in person at Toytrac yesterday and if the example is the same quality as the production then it’ll be a good one 👌🏻 plastic panels and chassis pretty much matched up unlike older JD models 😀

Looks awesome Alex, very nice work 👌🏻

Looking good Ian! I’ve made several of the later 1840’s recently 😎

Evening everyone, I’m after a set of UH 5480 rims, don’t need the tires but would happily have them if someone had a full set of rims and tires.

Many thanks Will

Like that a lot Nige, cracking craftsmanship 👌🏻

Nothing ground breaking but more fun than buying off the shelf models! Shelbourne Reynolds feeder wagon and a Kidd 450 straw blower to go on a layout I’m working on! 

Replicagri Berthoud trailed sprayer. £80 posted.

UH Vicon forage wagon, mint in box. £60 including postage

Amazing work Will, one of these is on my list of thing to build, I'm still collecting images at the moment, a long way from actually building one!

I’ve had it on my list for a while after a conversation with our local Claydon rep via Twitter! I found the parts manuals and the brochures quite handy, using publisher I made side views to scale from stated dimensions! However since starting making the models we bought one on our home farm so if you need a hand with pictures and dimensions just shout 👌🏻

Some great builds on the go at the moment.

The complexity in the parts you've fabricated for the drills is mind blowing Will

Many thanks James, these have certainly tested my patience and skill with these! Have spent many an hour in the tractor cab thinking how each section will be made, cutting the Claydon logo out for the main frame was probably the easiest bit 😂 The leg assemblies really tested me, 8 components in each 7 of them hand made, luckily I got the rear leg from a donor cultivator to save that hassle!

Top coat on, I don’t think it’s turned out to bad in the end!

Another absolute beauty John also on my to make list 😂 What’s the plan for the rear? A nice period Kuhn/Accord combi drill 👌🏻🤔

Speechless John, that’s incredible 😱 Detailed up the Siku wheels look spot on!

Seems like winters come early down south with us so might have some time to get back to the bench to tackle my own!

John that’s fantastic, very envious!

That picture makes me go weak at the knees! They look a very tidy pair of tractors Will, what sort of hours are they on?  We still have a 64 here, but it’s a bit unusual in that it’s an SE model which came out right at the end of the 6000 series. I’ve seen a few for sale on the continent, but there doesn’t seem to be many about over here, in fact I can’t say I’ve ever seen another one up to now. Brilliant tractors though, I don’t think ours will ever leave here.

Thank you, we try to look after them! Their both on just over 8500 hours very little compared to some out there! Not sure on the future of ours both get used less and less due to lack of tls and us doing more road work.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen a 00 SE, plenty of 10’s about isn’t there. They are pretty bullet proof aren't they, ours haven’t been without their problems the 64 has a habit of going through viscous vans at the moment maybe due to a lot of tick over work post knocker etc!

Another absolute cracker John, a favourite of mine also and it’s also on the cards one day! If you’d ever part with a bonnet kit I’d be very interested  

We run a 64 & 6800 at home both from new, no 10 series though! Skipped that generation to a 69 and 7920!

Incredible work as per usual John, I am very envious of your progress on builds! I’ve only ever seen these in hedge rows 😂

Morning John, I haven’t had any decals from Henri for 12 months or so now but they took a long time to come. When I spoke to him about it the delay is with his supplier of water slide decals and the demand for them since COVID-19 has come about with more people taking up model making. I have heard several people have had a long wait for decals from him, with my latest builds I decided to have a go myself. Their not too the quality of Henri’s but they aren’t too bad! I’ll grab some photos this evening if you’d like to see them.
