  1. thanks for the progress photos. Are the wheels from the Wiking JD 6930.
  2. Looks great, would definitely be keen to see a few snaps of the building process.
  3. Here is a link the ACA group that hosts the Chatres show. There is a pinned video from the show there. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=100057139462500
  4. I have been in the past and would say it is one of the best shows I have been to for Diorama and custom build models. They have 1000's of people each year. I believe the show is the first Sunday in June every. I will potentially be going this year.
  5. That is a bargin, how is the model I have been thinking of buying one. Are the ram's strong enough to hold it in the folded position?
  6. It is one of the metallic ones and has no outer box so I got it pretty cheaply.
  7. First few purchases of 2024. The new JCB Fastrac is far superior quality to the original, especially the bonnet. Also, was nice to find a Range Rover with a split tailgate.
  8. wow that is amazing. I have had it on my list of builds to make a MA170 for some time. You have just set the Gold Standard.
  9. This Chinese Tractor is made in 1/32 and I believe this Lovol Combine is made in 1/35.
  10. Are you thinking of adding working LED beacons, would you fit the battery in the cab?
  11. That's moving in the right direction, maybe if there was a decimal point between the 3 and 9, 😁😁. My preference would be for a Sumo, Dale, Claydon.
  12. Or maybe we can convince the famous British trailer kit builder to make some direct drill kits. @Stabliofarmer Do you think you could do a direct drill for under 540 EURs?
  13. Yes that looks really nice, 540 EUR is out of my budget range though.
  14. First building/repairing of models in about a year. Few repairs to the JCB Forward control after its 12,000 mile journey to be present at Spalding. Plus started to put together a couple of the Braemere Models trailer kits. They went together really smoothly and the rams on the drop deck are genius.
  15. I wonder if we might see a Wiking or Marge John Deere X9 combine?
  16. Come say hello if you come to the show today.
  17. Will be going and will have a small display.
  18. haha, yes. It is a good job I am constrained by my suit case space.
  19. Final photo of the massive 1/16 JD S790, seems a little crazy that some models are pushing over 1000USD.
  20. While traveling in the US Midwest for work I had chance to stop by Dalton Farm Toys new shop. It is a very impressive setup, they have a wide range of models, mainly 1/16 and 1/64, mainly OEM but also now a building selection of custom/3d printed models. The store also has several custom dioramas built. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. There has definitely been some price inflation, I bought my 1/32 JD Planter for about 45usd, now they are 125usd.
  21. Picked up a few items on my travels through the US Midwest. Stopped by Dalton's Farm Toys just outside Des Moines Iowa. Now I just need to make space in my suit case, ha.
  22. thanks for the info, yes is a pretty interesting model. I suspect I managed to find one of the prototypes in China. Yes looks like the seller had the massey version as well.
  23. Managed to get a lot of the broken parts glued back on this model. Now just playing around with adding the tracks.
