Very nice, is the spout functional on this model?

can rotate, but the top of the spout is one solid piece

Having a play with this trailed JF silage harvester kit from Shapeways. very good quality kit and simple to assemble.

Very nice. What yellow did you use?

Hi,

I asked a NH dealer for NH yellow from the mid 80s to early 90s and this what they sent. When it arrived it was can that had been mixed specifically, not a dealer can.

I'm happy enough with it. I tried a can of Clayson yellow too for comparison, but it was way too dull for my liking.

Another Valtra conversion I have been tinkering with for a few nights. Very pleased with how it came out.

They look spot on!

 

Thank you. the kits are very well done. I highly recommend them

A few pics of my finished Broughan kits. Really pleased with how they turned out

There's just something hard to beat about a new shiny red silage trailer 

Couple of pictures of my finished Valtra project. I build this to replicate one I buckraked silage with in Ireland over 10 years ago. Very pleased with how its's come out

A Valtra Valmet I started this weekend.  Not looking too bad so far I think

Another 20ft Broughan getting assembled. 

A conversion of a Britains TW20 I have been working on, will be an 8210 when its finished

About a day’s work left then hopefully we’re ready for the paint on these🤞

Wow these are impressive

Making a few small modifications to this UH TW25.

Can anyone share a good technique for opening the sunroof without butchering it too much?

Few shots of my finished Broughan trailer. Very pleased with it.

Broughan trailer progressing well. Really pleased with how its looking. 

very nice. do you know the RAL code for this paint colour?

A Atlas version of a super Dexta, picked up second hand.

Took a break from this for a few nights after I broke the handrail  . Fixed up now and some progress made on the header. Having read some of the forums on here around model tools I discovered the pin vice drill and picked up a cheap one to try out. What a gamechanger, I just wish I knew about this when I started the build, or even before I did the pick up reel. 

New wheels ordered. thanks to @Jd6320driver for the tip.

Hi, I am new to the forum. I started collecting about 3 years ago, mainly classic style machinery from the 90s.

I am based in New Zealand, and we have limited access to models or parts here.

Looking forward to learning some tips and tricks for model conversions through this page. Pic attached of some of my models.
