Only a couple of pictures from iBidder/bidspotter - not much to go on. Agrimanuals.com, here in Cornwall, are usually very good but they only have the bale carrier and grab brochures at the moment.

An easy mistake to make - same colour scheme. Ritchie and Browns compared below. Best Ian

The Ritchies I've seen have had tubular gates with no open ends. Looks like a Browns to me.

I bought it online from UTS

Expensive, but I had to get one! Browns 56 stack carrier by BLR from Udimore Tractor Shop.

They are brush-painted. It took me several attempts to get the right colour. For their coats I ended up using a mixture of Vallejo matt acrylics - basically Mahogany Brown, Red Leather, Dark Red and a dash of Black all mixed together. I used Vallejo Tan Yellow matt for their horns and hooves.

Just heard that a farming neighbour across the valley from us has lost two of his fingers in a bale shredder. Don't know any more details at the moment.

Two 1/32 scale 3D printed stationary engines from secret-anorak on E-bay. The one on the left is a Lister D, the one on the right is a Wolseley WD2. Both of these models were painted and weathered by me.

A small herd of Devon cattle from Scale 3D on E-bay, comprising cows, calves and bulls. These cattle are also known as red rubies or Devon reds but in Cornwall we call them "North Devons" to distinguish them from the South Devon cattle which are more common in Cornwall. These cattle were painted by me.

An old school trailed potato spinner, 3D printed from Shapeways. It has wheel bands which cover the spade lug wheels for road transport. Very similar to the real one my late father owned when I was growing up. This model was painted and weathered by me.

Would be great to see them Nigel👍

Me neither. It is definitely 1/32 scale - not sure how old it is. Has the usual SIKU name on the tyres. May have been made for the Czech market in the same way that the Britains Hurlimann was made for the Swiss market and the Britains Hesston for the US market,. No box unfortunately.

A second hand Siku Zetor Crystal 8045 via E-bay. I remember the real ones being sold by Vincent Tractors of Fraddon, Cornwall, back in the day.

Ladder re-designed, PTO shaft support and shoe for drawbar now done.

Teagle Machinery have posted pictures of my Titan 17 on their Facebook and Instagram pages today.

Just had a very nice e-mail from Tom Teagle, Sales Director at Teagle Machinery, thanking me for the pictures, which he said were "amazing" and congratulating me on the "incredible detail". Great to get some feedback from the manufacturer of the real machines! They will be putting the pictures on their social media.

Thanks very much Barry

Thank you Paul

Thanks James - I like your K2 spreader too.

I have assembled some Teagle bag lifters. The boom lifts and extends and the hook also swings. They just need painting and decaling. Decals will be supplied. They were fiddly to build so I have priced them at £19 each including UK postage. If you buy the bag lifter and the Teagle fertiliser spreader (which you will need to assemble) together, the total cost will be £30 - a saving of £4. Payment by bank transfer. These are delicate models and not suitable for persons under 14 years of age. Please message me if interested.

A few pictures of the painted Teagle Titan 17. Just to give you some idea of its size, the tractor pulling the spreader is a Marge Models New Holland T8. I will be making a "shoe" for the drawbar of the spreader shortly and I am currently re-making the ladder as the first version was too small!

Nice Massey👍

Great work John👍

Thank you
