happy birthday mandy, hope your having a great day

made a few phone calls today and it won't be here for a while yet but will be first 1/4.i don't know about the dealer box ones

will do mate, got to go masons and have a chat with the stores guys anyway.

is that masons peter, my mate works in the stores there. best i give him a ring.

what a great model i can see alot of 5f and 7 f conversions happening. bit more money than the lemkin , not sure why.

Let me know what isle and table number you're on and I'll come and see you.

ok mate will pm you , i haven't heard back from steve yet will ring him monday to make sure he got my letter

Are you going there Nathan as a punter or a dealer?

gor that works very well mate, nice one

i was surprised britains was second and not much in it with UH. i thought  siku would have done a bit better as  well.

some intresting stuff there andy. and some hard work on your part too. 

todays jobs are

ring britains

this years dates for westpoint are  jan 18th  , april 5th  , aug 23rd  ,nov 1st

a friend of mine had both norscot combines and swapped the cat stuff on  to the claas one without much trouble, a bit off topic sorry . i do think the siku one is better than the norscot one. but if its something you want to have a go at doing i think it will work out well.

a very good model you have there mate

hi guys , jan 18th is the first one of 2009. westcountry farm models will be on our first show .

would say its home made.when i was doing caulis we made something similer from a fork lift mast. we made one for riverford organic veg for a TL 100 last year. and for the rear , rear forks extened to take 2 spud boxes.

very nice model mate , it might of been easyier to of just swopped the bonnet over ,thats if you had the 2 tractors to make the conversion.

cheers chaps . i don't think i have seen any others. i must get on and finish it . going to keep this one a cx 80. and will keep a look out for some more bonnets to do a 4230 LP

Have a flick in my Farm Talk topic, there are pics of the missus' dads 4210 LP cabbed tractor if you need reference. I think it looks very good Nathan.

cheers deere-est ,makes a change for something different 

Great to see something a bit different Nathan ,I personally think the cab roof is fine as I don't think you could find any other model with a thinner profile unless you done a plastruct roof.

I just google imaged case 4230 and there was a side on pic on page one if it's maybe of use for decals

cheers jamie have had a look and will have a play with that later

wasnt  the mx roof i saw, was a sort of mix of the one you have and the mx if that makes sence,his other one had simialr on it to, both had glass sunroof/vision posts,as one had a loader the other had the frame work on it,but no arms

i think i know what you mean sean ive seen the odd one about.but i think this is as good as its going to get. might put a loader on it.

i have a feeling these cabs were on the stockman version. the other cabs you guys are talking about are the same as the case MX roofs. but i could be wrong. the first plan was to use a 956XL cab & floor and the cx bonnet and this skid unit. but its just the decals side of it that put me off.

i have used this one before ,but now they have added more, great site

cheers guys , still some work to do. skid unit has to be black. any body know where i could get hold of some 4230 decals. i can't find a good enough side picture to make some.
