Damn near impossible to find any photo's of a non UK spec 188, But I did find a short video of a Dutch 188 with a similar front weight block, That's a serious piece of steel. Regards Joe.

Or just wait, I read somewhere on Facebook that this was the first, Don't know if the implied the first Massey Ferguson, Or the first of a series, ?? Regards Joe.

It's supposedly coming out this Saturday Sean, https://www.facebook.com/PurTracteurPassion/ Regards Joe.

Yep, It's a 188, The weight bloke is covering one of the silver bars, Coming from Replicagri this Saturday, Picture from Pur Tracteur Passion. €49.90 Regards Joe. https://www.pur-tracteur-passion.com/tracteurs/4136-tracteur-miniature-massey-ferguson-188-multi-power-replicagri-132-rep510.html

If that is a 175 / 178 /188, then the front grill is wrong, The only Massey's I can find with just four silver bars are the 135 / 148 versions, Regards Joe.

What do you reckon this is, Being announced later today apparently. Regards Joe.

I would reckon within half an hour of getting it set up you will be all over it, and thanks for the thanks, And remember six years ago I knew absolutely nothing about anything related to 3D printing. Regards Joe Oh PS did you get glue sticks,??

I've just remembered I meant to print this kitten figure to include in the above images to show that FDM printers can do small objects Regards Joe.

For a long time now I've been thinking how to print White, So today I had a wee play around with my Paintshop Pro and worked out how to print White on a coloured background, Computer graphics are not set up to print letters one on top of the other, So maybe someone more familiar with printing could explain how to straighten that out but this method should work with most colours, Obviously you cannot print White unless you are fortunate enough to own an America Alp printer which does use White ink and costs an arm and a leg, I did try Tippex white fluid in an Ink jet cartridge but being granular the bits clogged up the the openings in the cartridge and failed miserably, here is my effort so far, What do you reckon, Regards Joe.

I've had a look around 3D hosting site and as James explained not a lot of animals out there, There are a few figures, So I've printed off a few and a fairly decent horse and some nice 12 foot gates, The tall chap is 6 foot and his " son " is 4 foot, The horse is actually printed in three parts that is why there are line across the body and up the neck. Regards Joe.

I like my Brussel's Sprout's, But no way would I put that on my plate, Regards Joe.

Thanks for that James very interesting but a million miles from anything I'd care to try, Hesston bales done in RS Designsparks about my limit. Regards Joe.

There is a shortage of normal printable figures as well, Plenty weird ones for Wargamers, and something I found strange there is a huge selection of 1/32 naked ladies, ???, Once this print finishes somewhere around 12:30pm tomorrow I'll print off a couple of figures one 6 foot 2, and another at 5 foot 8 as you can scale any print to any size you need, Regards Joe.

There is definitely a shortage of animals Sean and I expect the problem may well be to create a 3D (stl) file you would need an animal to hand so you could measure it accurately, James will know more than me as he has already done sheep etc, I did find a really good stl file of a Horse which I will try sometime tomorrow as I'm in the middle of a really big print right now which still has 20 hours to run,??? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2785163 Regards Joe. PS If anyone has one of these brown Britains horses, Could you please do me a little favour and measure how high it is from the ground to the top of it's ears please.

Anyone still wondering if they should get a 3D printer, I have just discovered Creality who produce the printer I have, have just updated my machine and now call it the Ender 2 Pro, Dead simple to assemble and now even easier to use and all for £150. Regards Joe.

I meant to post these ultra tiny LED's as well but could not remember their exact name, But rummaged around and found these, The ones in the video are 0805's but you get smaller ones than that, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402811352256?hash=item5dc96d74c0:g:oDIAAOSwBxJgh4dj Regards Joe.

You guy's might be interested in this stuff, Wire Glue. Regards Joe.

From the Farm Connexion Facebook page the new ERTL John Deere 9X combine. With 50cm header and dual wheels. Regards Joe.

Certainly rare Mike, I'll maybe do a bit more snooping around after Tea. Regards Joe.

Ooh that is a toughy, no info at all on the model Mike, there are quite a few FIAT Bevete Coke trucks out there but nothing at all for Same, ?? https://www.carmodel.com/it/iv-model/tipmk102/1-43/om-fiat/tigrotto-truck-trasporto-bibite-coca-cola-1958-with-bottles/114058 Regards Joe.

Brian's car, don't see why that should attract any attention, Regards Joe.

It would on par with the Siku Liebherr R 980 I'd say. https://www.siku.de/en/sortiment/liebherr-r980-sme-raupenbagger.html Regards Joe.

At only 35tonne that is better suited to the triaxle step frame, What you would need on the 10 axle Nooteboom combo would be the Big Volvo EC 950F at 90 tonne. Regards Joe.

Not sure where best to put this, But there is a new Volvo excavator comeing soon from another new to 1/32nd scale manufacturer called IMC, well known and respected in the 1/50th scale World for innoovative features like opening truck doors etc, it seems these day quite a few 1/50th producers are entering into the 1/32nd side, the prices are certainly reflecting that 50% jump up in scale,?? https://www.imcmodels.eu/en/volvo Regards Joe.

According to what I've seen Justin everybody seem's to be saying November 2022, But why would anybody advertise a model that wont be out for 13 months yet, I would really expect that to appear next month, ie November 2021, Regards Joe.
