Drivers out of britains combines .Where they just for the combines ? have movable arm
Is it the same figure that is sometimes found in the Livestock Truck and Land Rovers? A narrower smaller figure specifically designed for fitting into cabs maybe?

Great trip down to Spalding, and first time trading at the April show. Some really good feedback coming from people about the kit's we are offering and strong sales throughout the day. I didn't get away from my stand the entire day, which is great from a sales perspective but meant I missed out on seeing any dioramas. From the photos it looks like there was some great pieces on display! Really good crowds too, from what I've heard it was over 850 people through the doors?
Roll on the next show which for me is Aberdeen on the May bank holiday weekend.

Fantastic work Joe, and very nice to see. As others have mentioned its great that you've managed to get the mechanism to function too! You've got a career as a design engineer ahead of you if you get bored of retirement

I guess they might sell a few of the 710 version which I assume is equal with the Quadtrac 715, even though it looks bigger than the CASE.
The problem with this big increase in power is that the farmer will also have to increase the size of the implements that go behind them, and thats another big additional cost.
Theres a quite few 9620/40RX around these parts now, mostly by default having pinched sales off the Quadtrac simply by being the right "colour", but i'm hearing that farmers are so impressed by their 8RX's that they are thinking of down sizing when their 9RX's come up for replacement.
Not so sure about the 8RX theory Phil, the info I've been hearing from people in the sales industry is that whilst the initial release sold well noones been rushing back to buy more, with virtually no new sales this year. The price of wearing parts, particularly tracks, and lies about how long a set of tracks will last, particularly at speed, being quoted as the main reason for not buying again.

Looks interesting Jan, I'm guessing there will be issues with the glue going much smaller than the size you have there?

splash of ransomes orwell blue,and some white gloss on the wheels and tamiya rubber black on the tyres, tyres went on really well despite the depth of the treads, which is good. a d finally seeing as these two will be mine, started some timber, if i sell some(5 ready to paint) they wont have this, its very time consuming to fit,and not cheap either compared to the other option
They're coming to life with paint on Sean, have to admit I didn't think it would be possible to print what you've made, very impressive

Well into production with just a few bits left to do before release is the 10ton Fraser kit, this will be available in grain and silage formats.
A little bit further behind but the first prototype of a Bryce Suma post knocker/driver has been made, quite a few changes required with this to get all the parts moving as they should.

We've been busy over the winter period at Braemere Models with a few new/re-run kits hitting the shelves, and a few prototypes nearly ready for release.
First up is a kit that's been out of production for a year or two. The Fruehauf Bulk Tipper Kit, now with decals for Fruehauf and Wilcox brands and a variety of sheet options.
Alongside the tipper I've also developed a single axle dolly based on the model we manufactured when I worked for Bradleys Group, looks the part on the 8S!

Looking great Ian, are the tyres the printed resin rubber that has been discussed in other topics?

Impressive stuff Andy, I've always had trouble with clear resin curing, but then I've always bought the cheapest one!
I saw mention elsewhere of putting a reflective surface behind? I think something like tinfoil or aluminium tape may work well, however silver paint has always looked abit dull when I've had a clear part up against it. Photos show headlight recess painted silver then the resin light in place, might have been more the poor quality of the resin though.
