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.

m-mparts132@wp.pl, looks like this is the person's email address.  See attached a snapshot of the grain lids for New Holland.

I think that Combine was made by Ros, and there was possibly an MF version too.  I am sure I saw they were very limited or manufacturer promotional models so very lucky find there 

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.

Nice Challenger, but that Fendt combine appears to be missing a few parts😄

Yes just a few, seems I have most of them though.  Will most probably have to scratch build the reel though.  

I have struggled to find any information on who made it though.  Only other place I have seen is someone trying to sell one for 500 EUR on Facebook.  Which would suggest I am in the money on the model seeing as I paid about £35 for it .

Few new purchases.  The 3 windrowers are destined to become a triple bed jones engineering windrower.  

Managed to find this resin Fendt 9490x combine as well, needs a bit of repair, no reel, etc.  Anyone have any info on this model, as I have struggled to find any information?

When I repair it I plan to add tracks so it matches the one on my families farm.

I designed them and had them 3D printed. The caged ladders were "off the shelf" from Plastruct. I just had to cut them to size. I spray painted the towers Ford Midnight Blue for the glossy effect. Still have to make bases for them. I will be using MDF painted with AK Terrains Concrete from their diorama range.

thanks for the insight, you have done a great job

Really nice, did you scratch build these yourself.  If so any photos of the building process?

no i cant sadly, but i think andy may have bought one ??  

may be a prototype,there were a good few prototypes from a few brands around for sale, mike got the same prototypes  that marge was it ? had done 

@Andy Any thoughts on the above regarding pricing of these combines. 

I managed to go to Chartres about 5 years ago, was one of the best shows I have been to.  Seems in Europe they have a tradition of presenting small diorama, meaning there tends to be a lot more variety.  

When I was there, there were many stands selling spare parts or broken models.  So was great if you like building models.

yes could be, thanks for the info. 

yes that looks like the one thanks,  except this one has no decals, strange.  

Do you remember roughly what the price was at Zwolle?  

Anyone regonise this combine model, seller doesn't have any info on the maker.  

Looks quite detailed for a 1:32.

Trailers, trailers and more trailers, going to be one very busy summer!

 

Looking good, the 1/32 modeling world is going to be a wash with British trailers.  

If this is the start, I am excited to see what comes next.  Not sure if you have seen it yet, but there is a topic documenting people's adventures with 3d printing on the forum.  

Picked up a few additions to the collection in the last week.  

BCMH BH8100

3 x  Ros GT170

Wiking JD 6250R

Wiking JD 6125R

4 x AT Collections Workers (Small Damages) 

2 x Row Crop Wheels

Picked up these two while at Spalding tractor show a couple of weeks ago.  

Plan is to turn the trailer into a Marston or a Bailey.

One lad selling all these was told very expensive 

 

 

 

After not being at a show for a long time, I was pretty shocked at how expensive most models seemed to have become.  Any implement out of production seemed to be over 100 GBP.  I think I have been spoilt buying models directly out of China, where prices  don't seem to have increased much.

Looks to be some nice displays there.

yes, there was a pretty solid vegetable and potato theme on most displays.  Sort of perfect for Lincolnshire.  

Was nice to go to Spalding for the first time in about 10 years today.  There were a lot more diorama than I ever remembered seeing before.  Unfortunately I only had about 30mins there as I was rushing for a train.  See a few snaps I was able to take as I rushed through.  

Found this in China and got it as a gift for my brother, doesn't seem a bad deal for about 50GBP.  Now just have to see if it works once he builds it, ha.
