Yes, thats the one, superb detail, a real credit to Dave. I was glad to put my name down for one, can't wait till its ready.

The highlight of this show, for me, was having breakfast with model building genius David Purdue and being one of the first to see his excellent brand new model tractor.

I'm saddened to hear this, Always a pleasure to talk to and a talented model builder whose creations weren't as widely recognised as they should have been. deepest sympathy to Phil's family.

I have to agree mate, and i think the same will go for collecting models, what do you collect when you already own a detailed replica of every model you ever wanted? Part of the excitement of collecting models was ( for me anyway ) going to shows and searching the internet for handbuilt or converted models that i needed for my collection, but, as i collect Ford tractors, and the way things are progressing at the moment, the next few years could see the completion of my collecting. For me, the amount of new models and the speed at which they are being released is ruining what was a great hobby(obsession).

nicely done, just finishes the trailer. those original shoes look like they'd fit the real trailer
