Thank you Paul.

I posted these pictures on Instagram a while ago, so apologies if some of you have seen them before. The MF 178 is a Mo Miniatur 1/32 model, made in Germany. Not a great model TBH, but the only one I could find of a 178. It had a Fritzmeier cab originally, which I replaced with a Duncan. I also added a Boughton winch from Tab Models and went to town on the weathering! The 590 is a Universal Hobbies 1/32 model which I bought as spares or repair as quite a few of the delicate bits had broken-off. I replaced the missing exhaust pipe with a straight one from a 1980s Britains Fendt Turbomatik and added Opico Turbo stickers from Dave "Titch" Sanders at Machinery Decals in Staffordshire. Again, I did my usual heavy weathering job on it.

I discovered the wonders of 3D printing. My design, but I had some help with the actual printing.

Here are three 1/32 scale Massey Ferguson grain bins from my farm layout. The real bins were manufactured in the UK in the 1960s in a joint venture between MF and Butler, an American company which specialised in grain handling equipment. A contemporary Massey Ferguson sales leaflet is also attached.

Neither can I, ha ha!

Thank you

Thanks Jack

New project on the go. This is just a prototype. I realise the wheels are wrong and need sorting out!

Just a small diorama I did a while ago using pre-War and post-War lead wheatsheaves made by Britains and F&G Taylor.
