Thank you Jamie👍

Good one that Joe!

Bucket, 12’ buckrake and muck grab made, ready to shift some sh*t now!

Thank you Pete👍

Thanks very much James. I’m certainly no engineer but I have a fairly mechanical mind and I think that probably helps. Also, when I look at something I try and work out how it was built in the first place and then try and replicate that in model form, it doesn’t always work, but it usually helps😉

Thank you Ian👍

Thanks very much Jack👍

Thanks a lot John👍

Thanks Justin. B today’s standards they’re a small machine, especially as they’re just under 90hp, but I bet back in the day they were some tool!

Thanks very much David 👍

Just need the decals and some attachments for it now!

Thank you Ian, they’re a fiddly thing to work on🙈

Thanks very much Paul👍

I thought I needed a shovel from the same era as the New Holland foragers to go on the pit, so I’ve started on a JCB 412. Progress so far

Yes it was a good dayDavid, I enjoyed the natter… just wish you’d got me out of focus though😂

The start of the next project, Claas swather and header trailer. I’ve given up straightening the times until it’s ready to paint!

Couldn’t have put that better myself Callum, for me personally I like to look at something and know it’s come from someone’s hands. It might not be perfect, but maybe that’s not always the point.

Looking well Jack👍

As the resident Dinosaur here, I agree with a lot of what’s been said. There’s no doubt that the advances in 3D printing has led to a more affordable way for some models to be produced. As James says, it’s not for everyone, just like picking up a knife and a ruler isn’t for everyone either. I still think there will always be a place for both, and I also agree that there’s a lot of models out there yet to be tackled, especially from British manufacturers who are usually overlooked by the European manufacturers.

It’s starting to take shape now Paul👍

Thanks Jack👍 Yes I asked if David would blurr my face but he hasn’t, I’m struggling to live it down being on a blue one again😂

Then on to the muck!

Getting ready for a blue power silage day😉

It doesn’t sit right at all Simon, it’s too high and looks much more like the 1455, which to be honest is probably what they’ve based it on to save tooling costs. Britains did a much better job than that!

Thanks very much John👍
