  1. Due in 2024, Massey 2685, pre cleaner looks a bit big to me. Regards Joe
  2. Found a bit more info on your "Screemin Jimmy's" Ian https://www.theshermantank.com/about/the-sherman-tank-engine-page/the-gm-6046-page/ Regards Joe.
  3. I don't know about Schuco, But I have the Massey 1150 by Top Shelf Replicas, which is a resin model, and nothing on it moves, the wheels don't even turn. https://www.farmmodeldatabase.com/en/view-details/011389/top-shelf-replicas-1-32-massey-ferguson-1150.html Regards Joe.
  4. The German magazine Profi has just announced they have commissioned Wiese to produce a 50th Anniversary model of an MB trac with loader, only available through Profi limited to 1000, https://shop.profi.de/profi_sondermodell_50_jahre_mb-trac-002958.html Regards Joe.
  5. I'm sure there are better video's of the Sherman actually in colour ploughing, but internet search's are not as good as they used to be, Here are two I have found, Regards Joe.
  6. News from Fendt of their new Ergosteer joystick system. Regards Joe
  7. I reckon this must be the new Britains JCB 4220 posted on TOYTRAC 2023's page, Regards Joe
  8. It also printed pretty good as well considering I use a Creality Ender 3 Pro FDM printer. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3774206 Regards Joe.
  9. No problem Ian, I was just looking for an engine myself not long ago, And actually managed to get exactly what I was wanting, A 6 cylinder Cummins, Regards Joe.
  10. Was just wondering if the three new big tractors will be updated come Agritechnica with probably a whole host of other new models, Marge Wiese and Wiking are all going to be there, see exhibitors list here. https://www.agritechnica.com/en/exhibitors-products#/search/f=h-entity_orga;v_sg=0;v_fg=0;v_fpa=FUTURE Model makers. I wonder who will produce the new Claas Xerion 12 650, both Wiking and Weise are exhibiting, Or even Universal Hobbies, I never realised they all came under the Holland Oto banner https://www.agritechnica.com/en/exhibitors-products#/search/f=cat_77B49342-E00C-ED11-812C-001DD8B71C25;v_sg=0;v_fg=0;v_fpa=FUTURE https://www.hollandoto.nl/brands/?lang=en Regards Joe
  11. Theres never a day goes by but what someone comes up with some new process or other, This spiral effect might look like a cheap gimmick but apparently useing specific filaments these prints can be used as artificial muscles, which I guess could be really useful in certain medical situations, Regards Joe.
  12. Looking good James, Aye i did reckon Killin was a bit of course, Think I did see it once coming back from my eldest Nephews wedding many moons ago. Regards Joe.
  13. Most of it is done, the last bit will be the most difficult to sketch / print as that is the two track frames which are very complex because of the shapes and contours, plus the lower idler bogies, this photo will give you an idea of what I'm doing, The current biggest dozer in the World at 115tons and 900 HP, and yes a Cat D11 is smaller, One of these is working in a sand quarry only 12 miles from me. At 85tonne without blade and ripper it's the perfect load for the MarGe Nooteboom dolly low loader. Regards Joe.
  14. Look forward to seeing the Cuthbertson progress, I know you like your trips to Glenshee, and wondering if you ever saw the one thay used to sit at the LixToll garage at Killin, ?? https://www.lixtoll.com/ Regards Joe.
  15. Thank you James, Very early stages yet, but I'm going to try to have my tensioner functional useing the springs from BIC pens, or maybe the springs on electric drill motors depending how much force would be needed. Regards Joe..
  16. I think limegreen is referring to the fact the Britains version has "stepped" mud guards, and a shorter bonnet,but none of the real tractors have that, they are all square, Regards Joe.
  17. What a fantastic piece of work James, You must have the patience of a Saint, After makeing the track pads for my Stalinetz crawler I figured instead of doing holes at either ends of the chain links, holes at one end and "dimples" at the other would make printing and assembly easier, And it does, currently working on the large machine right now, At some point you'll need tensioners for you trencher, something I have just sketched up myself today, Here are a couple of screen grabs I took to see what you think, Obviously dimensions to your own spec, Regards Joe.
  18. Popular in Holland though Callum, with they're sandy soil the wide tyres. Regards Joe.
  19. Sorry James, I just checked E-bay what with VAT etc, But yes I see what you mean about the other Defenders far better finish and a decent price, might take some time to arrive from China though. Regards Joe.
  20. I'm afraid the Defenders on E-bay are nowhere near 1/32nd scale guy's, Regards Joe, Defender 110 Width- 1/32 = Mirrors in 62.75 Mirrors out 65.78 Length 1/32 = 156.8 with spare, 148.6 without Height 1/32 = 61.4
  21. I've thought about mould boards but never tried it yet, getting the curves right will be tricky and none of the .stl hosting sites have anything close that could be used as an example of how it could be done. Regards Joe.
  22. All the very best to you and Gemma Paul, And a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all fellow FTF'rs, Season's Greeting's, Joe.
  23. I discovered this new technique in Cura late last night and sketched up a big bale earlier, i did incorporate six grooves for the strings, but the Fuzzy Skin has filled them in a bit, a handy option for doing hairy animals I guess, but I reckoned it would work well on bales, straw in particular and think it turned out well, I would then use elasticated thread as the string,E-bay £ 2.99 for 50 mtrs, Fuzzy Skin video,,, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ApNNEEit5A Elasticated thread, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200817106689?hash=item2ec1a1df01:g:MrIAAOSwOWdimGkh&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8HmfxGL%2BV%2FjRzHuclvJsABUn7YRYK80Qtus1dWu4d5UN2vbrC4kJ90%2FKnLhy1V2TPS6s6ZGXKQ7QtO4%2Bb9ZhXaHSC%2BcO%2FmeLbYdBYObhb3dD3mlI6TvGhJ2jv4tjEa1ya6uti76oML9%2BglBg57rTOnZFghINKXDWub1U3UOJN25RTNalGV8zkYq%2B35MRIMB9VyL5S7MY6kb7kRCknRhh8Lvq%2FPetvhZjXimFM4fjhOM%2F9pyrYOFmZcBL6DoArOk%2BMs2qJhHbXumi3enGPU4ZN93gi9Kyc4vtGK1ckPF6XJirCg3sp4Dqub7xbjP0SODWcg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7CY1_inYQ Regards Joe.
  24. cult's is one of the better .stl hosting sites Simon, But you'll find a wider choice on Yeggi, Also not everybody uses the term " Wheel " some folk prefer " Rims ", And if you have more money than sense Shapeways have loads of 3D files, But at a price, https://www.yeggi.com/q/rims/ https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?type=product&q=rims Regards Joe.
