Updated - let me know of additions/errors.

Very nice conversion. As said, front axle looks good and I like the weight tray etc.

I don't really 'collect' brochures, but was given this little lot today.

Some nice drawings.

Great stack of photos! Probably me, but never seen a Super 6 in blue/orange before.

Good to see you posting again Luke. Look foward to seeing your 'small stuff'.

Thank you, Brendan.

As for Pops... I guess we'd better cut him a little slack as he is by far the oldest member we have... There can't be many members on here who owned a 'MkI T Rex' for their family ride .. 'back in the olden days'

Probably his taste buds are worn out, too!

Mostly been catching moles and unloading fertiliser

It's all looking well - I do like the drystone dyke.

Tidy little modification, Malc. Laserpilot will work now!

Probably will try and get up to this too, Bill - depending on what's happening with crops......

What a difference you've made to that! A fairly basic model brought up to a high standard - lovely.

Some nice photos. The pic of the pile of hardcore looks realistic as does the track.

I'm guessing they're Scaledown. They tend not to make much more than the kit price on EBay - I would agree with Andy.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

How come Lord F is always first on a Massey post?

There is a trip wire, Joe but t's too fine to show in the pics.

sweet mr c, as we would expect from you, would love to see you dip into a layout for all this period stuff your making, would show it all of to a tee

I know Sean - I started one a few years ago and it hasn't moved since then.

A good haul for only 3 months! Nicely displayed too.

Great varied field of brands there - would be good day out. Particularly like that well care for JD3350 (with hedgecutter).

Thank you for the comments. I guess there was about 25 hours in total but spread over a few weeks.

Finished.

I've been fiddling with this for a while - I decided I needed something to fill the spreader.

Scaledown front axle and pick up hitch, all sprayed 'proper' MF colours.

Probably due to the forum changeover. That database may be unavailable just now. 

The 712 landwheel spreader has to be one of MF's most successful products with over 35,000 being made and in production from 1950 (8 years pre MF) through to 1968 according to my records.

Sounds like a veritable goldmine to someone like yourself.    I'm surprised that there were as many as 35,000 made - not too many seem to survive.

Thanks Johny and Pete. 

fantastic built! love this little old spreader.

It is quite small, Wil especially compared with modern stuff!

we scrapped the remains of one of these recently

1 of 35,000 

I reckon you'd make a brilliant Lethamshank in small. 

I have started but it always gets pushed to one side for models...

This on Twitter today - never seen straw picked like this before. He reckons he's getting 80 - 90% of it and doing around 50 - 60tph. Compost it and spread it later. Sounds a lot better than trying to incorporate it. 

Do autodrome do English instructions? I know the diagrams are quite good but just curious.

The kits I've had so far have had instructions in english, but familiarity with the machine is a help.

I'm not very familiar with Xerions but that looks really well in the diorama you've got.
