Thanks very much Paul, I’ve always liked those JF’s to be honest👍

And finally got around to finishing the 1474(just needs decals instead of the white tape on the bonnet!)

A couple of builds finished off, a Military Unimog kit converted to ag spec, and a step frame trailer built to transport the JCB’s😉

Hello Ed, thank you for that. I’d love to say that I use some special techniques and equipment, but the truth is most of my photos are quickly snapped when I’ve a few minutes spare and the weather is nice and calm! I like to take them outside whenever possible as I think natural light makes a big difference, but they’re usually just quickly set up in our yard and then taken with my old phone camera👍

Universal Hobbies new releases 2023

Definitely one of their finest moments that!🙈 I think they have done some good models over the years, and I get that they want to maximise the return from their tooling, but at the end of the day theirs isn’t the younger market but the collector, so really there’s no excuse for trying to dress up the likes of a 1494 as the much smaller 1394. I’ve driven both in the past, and believe me the size difference is very noticeable -

Nowt wrong with being fussy mate, if manufacturers were a bit more fussy it might stop some of the shite that they churn out -
Thanks very much Paul, they were a little break from the annual hell that is lambing time 🙈🤣
-
Thanks James, both of them were just body shells without any chassis so I thought I might as well add a little extra detail as I was building them
-
Thanks Simon, I have to confess I’m a Fourtrak man myself, but I remember when I was a kid it seemed like everyone had one of these
-
Thanks Justin, with a bit of work they don’t turn out a bad little model to be fair, hopefully they’re better than the woeful weathering that Britains did on them😂
-
Thanks very much John, they’ve been a nice little change from tractors!
-
Thanks Jack, I ground out a little from inside the top of the hard top so the door sat nice and flush and then it was just a case of drilling it top and bottom and hinging it with a couple of small pins👍

Thanks very much Justin👍

Thanks very much Barry, there would be some money’s worth if the real ones were sat in our yard!

It’s not finished Alastair, just realised I’ve not fitted the wiper! Thanks for that, you’re right though, decals do finish a model off
-
Thanks very much Jack, it’s nice to do something a bit different 👍
