There's a lovely Hotel just a couple of hundred yards from the venue Cyril great food and a few pints of the black stuff. stayed there a few times myself, If memory serves this should actually be the show's 10th anniversary, should have been 2020, but well you know,??

Long drive 🤪 As if 🤔

What is it for you Bazza, If memory serves it's ONLY 1200 miles return, Each to they're own, But I would go East coast to Morpeth, Then cross country to Edinburgh over the Fifth bridge then Perth to Forfar up to Newmacher.

Regards

Joe.

Just been thinking there might be a few guy's on here that would like to go but being put off by the long drive, IF there are cheap flight's available near you the venue at the Axis Centre Newmacher is only 12 minutes from Aberdeen airport.

Hi

 Does anybody know if a 1/32 precision scale massey 1135/1155 or 2745/2805 etc has ever been made or might be one day?

 I had heard they were going to make an 1155 and 2805 after the 1150 model was made but never heard anymore.

Thanks

I think the closest you will get to an 1135 and 1155 will be the 1130 and 1150 by Autodrome of Holland.

For now it will be only these 3 models, the Miedema MH 240, Miedema MC 980 S and Miedema ME 100 😉

The Volvo EC220EL is currently under construction and expected to be available Q1 and also a JCB model will be released first half of this year. And many more models will follow this year! 😁

Hopefully one might be a " Hooglosser "

Joe.

Happy New Year to one and all,

Yep, it really looks superb except for one glich,  they forgot to paint the large door hinges black!  You can clearly see it on that picture.  And yet they have painted the ones on the cheaper Siku 370 version. Another Wiking JD blunder🙄.............Hopefully they have realised this and thats the reason for the delay in despatching them.

There's an Italian guy on the case Phil, want's to "turn an ugly duckling into a Swan"

I think that's a very much 'watch this space' sort of thing after the chat I've had with my boss 😄 Will Hunter of Hunterpac is big into his models I believe. 

Veeeery interesting James, Not wanting to know any trade secrets, But is the Huntpack body wider than 2.112 mtrs

Thought some of you may be interested in what I've been up to in my job. I work as a design/production engineer for Bradleys Group in Wigan who are the UK's sole dealer of Prinoth Tracked Dumpers and Snow Groomers. Amongst a few other builds the main project I have been working on is for Huntapac Produce.

Huntapac, like alot of root crop growers have major issues in keeping rented land due to damage, as you can imagine if you harvest carrots 365 days of the year there's going to be a couple of wet days harvest in amongst them! This leads to huge amounts of land damage and forces landlords to be reluctant to rent the land again. Huntapac have worked with us to develop a 'self propelled tracked trailer'.

The machine is based on Prinoths T12 straight dumper which is usual found serving land around oil fields in Alaska. We have taken the basic dumper and stretched the chassis, moving the cab forward by 2ft and the body pivot point back by 2ft. We have then built a custom bulk body that fits on the back to give a much higher volume than the original dumb body. 
The first machine landed with Huntapac last week and has proven very successful floating over very wet ground and even flattening out tractor rut damage. The second machine is in build now with more orders anticipated. We hope to see the Maize growers order some machines next as they also struggle with ground rent, there is a dutch contractor already using two of his own dumpers for maize on incredibly wet land. Has the future of carting arrive

d?

I watched the video earlier today and guessed you would have been involved, Pity there are no Prinoth's in 1/32nd scale, ??

its not easy to find thats for sure, i may have to bite the bullet and do it i guess, 

How about one of these mini airbrush's and thin down a couple of mill of Nigel's paint, Be handy for other wee job's I'm sure,

Regards

Joe.

1/32nd scale instead of 1/30th would have been even better,??

no one to operate, but will always need someone to maintain,fix and program them. 

You will always require mechanics yes, but Komatsu alone have over 400 trucks quite a few can carry over 400ton, World wide fitted with Autonomous tech, That's a whole lot of jobs gone.

Have to agree David, This one is being built with Autonomy in mind, Bit worrying all this new tech being produced with no one needed to operate them, Armageddon beckon's,

Joe. 

What do you guy's make of this new concept,??

That's amazing James!!

I seriously need to get an order in for a 3D printer.

Barry, I've been retired now for two and a half years, And avoided anything to do with CAD thinking it to be way over my head but I came across RS Designspark by accident and eventually gave it a go, On the start page ( after downloading it ) when it pops up on screen, ( PC ) down on the lower right corner it say's " Creating your first solid " click on that and just follow their directions, You'll need to try a few times, but your familiar it gets really quite simple, RS available for free here you just need to join for free, https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/home

As for printer this one is brand new, Auto bed leveling, a proper extruder which can handle any filament, even flexible, and better still it can re-start after power cuts,
