Oakley Farms

Last one! Hope this has helped, its not prefect yet as plastic has gone slightly yellow so i will spray up white to tidy then work out how to fix it, it does fold down like on the siku 600 but is raised half an inch above the rest of the combine so i will probably just use it as a "hat" and place on it when combining

And another

Here you go mate

I took my old Siku lexion 600 apart and used the grain tank off of that for it, it did require a bit of careful cutting with a hacksaw once out but acts as a sort of "hat", doesnt look too bad

Also spent the morning at the show, was very busy, good to see Mandy there, bought a few little bits and pieces, cctv, farm tools, tap and hose, those little things to make a diorama come to life!

Ideally the new spirit drill in 6 metres would be ace like this one

A 6 metre vaderstad rapid or spirit drill would be nice!

Im afraid not, they are 1.50, i hate mixing scales but i cant find any 1.32 lorries that offer the same amount of detail as corgi 1.50 but they dont look to out of place

I have a 1/76 scale Corgi Scania Topline truck for sale, comes with plain white fridge trailer, boxed and in like new condition, has been hand painted, superb paint job, pm me if interested or have questions

And finally an aerial view

Another view of loading bays

Having a play around with sizes today to get an idea of space so iv assembled my grading shed and packhouse with lorry loading bays beside it and chucked a few models in there to show what its going to look like when completed

Finally found somewhere to build my diorama today so exciting times ahead, starting next weekend with collecting timber for the base, watch this space!

Fantastic work Barry, very impressed!

Ok that sounds good, let me know, willing to help all i can, what models have you made in the past?

I have this one when it was on a lorry, is that your work of the miedema?

I can wait as long as it takes, will also pay whatever it costs, they have a website too, www.tongpeal.co.uk

Yes it is, i cant get any manufactures drawings but i can get alot of photos

And this, bit dark pic though!

Very similar but more like this...

Cheers mate, if i find anything i will let you know too, keep in touch

I use a john deere 8530 made by ertl prestige, its a good match, great model too, very highly detailed

Took awhile with the pics i know, some upload and others are too big, the bedtiller i bought, put the Grimme decals on, the number plate and beacon, then i bought the platform handrails and steps, painted them up in vaderstad red which was a good match to the grimme red, fitted that on, then i bought the resin applicators and white pipework, fitted the applictors to the platform and drilled some small holes in the front for the pipes to be fitted allowing the mocap to be distributed ahead of rotor blades

Have just posted a few pics of some kit on the oakley estate farms thread, hope you all like

My pride and joy, John Deere 6830 and Grimme CS1500 destoner
