So I asked what has been done to it and this was the reply:

'I swapped the bonnet an bored the hole for the breather an changed the axle all into the original 3050 chassis'

Worth £100 more than what I would value the original......?

Wat a retard

Looking good Ted  though is it not a little bit too clean for you?? hahah

 

I think I’ve been converted I like clean models now as well haha 

Did they have Perkins in them? Or a copy ? 

Not a model but what is going on here?! A Massey x leyland ?

That looks fantastic Sean, I had at muck once with soil pva and plumbers hemp but it looked too fluffy, more like hair than straw

Nice thread, I am on the lookout for some Atlas models myself (pondering whether they're worth the hassle), good to see some of them converted for measure Which donor did you use for the 4wd Fergie?

For the price there a nice model, the Fergusons. Very light and but detailed.  I also have an atlas international and a french one but there flimsy and awful quality. The 4wd is an atlas with wheels from a Britains dumper and parts off a 1/35 italiari Land Rover kit.
Here’s an atlas one and a UH one for size...

Got the Unipower Timber Tractor ready for paint now, not sure what to do with regards to colours yet. Winch drum can spin, and the anchors can be raised or powered. I've dropped working steering in favour of a more detailed underside, as the front axle is quite visible on the vehicle. 

Really like that James I recon dark red and black with sign writing or dark green and red would look good  

Looks excellent Sean, what are you using to render the insides? Is it the same as the blocks? 

Look forward to seeing it all take shape Sean, good to see you’ve got some westons on the go haha

Thank you.. I'm really struggling to get the colours right with my phone the grass matts are brushwood but they don't appear very green in most of the pics. It really is hard to beat the natural light. 

What lights are you using in the room? Are they warm? I have the same problems with things looking different colours so I tried a lamp with a daylight bulb, it is good but like you say nothing beats natural daylight, not as many shadows  

Stunning pictures Gary  

Very nice job indeed  

I think you need a bigger plough Dave  neat line up you have there

Seeing as your a bit of a Landy man Ted there was a bloke not far from Bulith Wells who put landy front axles under fergys and dexta's, he made his own sandwich box to go between gearbox and back end that used bits of a Range Rovers chain driven transfer box, then used a longer prop to take the drive forward to the axle, i not sure how many he did or if the ratios worked out right so it didnt wind itself up but a use of old parts non the less

 

That’s interesting, must have taken a fair bit of work to cobble that all together. Like you say good use of old parts, I suppose 4wd would have been rare back then. I wonder if there’s still any around 

Don’t know if this is any of you on here but credit to who ever built this , really nice job, deserves to go for a high price.......

I think European, not sure were they French or German build. Probably the equivalent off the Doncaster built 885XL.

Certainly did Ted...we still have two of them Much heavier built than the 885 with the same back end as the 9/1056

Ok cheers guys yes I just couldn’t find any photos of ones in over here, not my area of expertise internationals, good to here you’ve still got two of them in action John  

Got this recently, my first ever Replicagri tractor, cracking model , really well built compared to UH . I was wondering if the 844xl ever came to the uk? Or was it only European?
