Looks great, would definitely be keen to see a few snaps of the building process. -
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

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.

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? -

It is one of the metallic ones and has no outer box so I got it pretty cheaply. -

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. -

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. -

Are you thinking of adding working LED beacons, would you fit the battery in the cab?

Agritechnica 2023
sipher172 replied to James Joe Dewar's topic in General Discussion / Off topic discussion & Everything Else
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. -

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? -

Yes that looks really nice, 540 EUR is out of my budget range though. -
Whats on your workbench???
sipher172 replied to MODELFARMER's topic in Other Conversions & Scratch Builds
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. -

I wonder if we might see a Wiking or Marge John Deere X9 combine? -

Will be going and will have a small display.

haha, yes. It is a good job I am constrained by my suit case space. -

Final photo of the massive 1/16 JD S790, seems a little crazy that some models are pushing over 1000USD. -
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.

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. -

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. -

Managed to get a lot of the broken parts glued back on this model. Now just playing around with adding the tracks.
