  1. Yes, good old Fulford Trumps Group - they had the Ford tractor dealership in my part of Cornwall during the Ford 6600 era. Happy days.
  2. I have painted the Lely 12 ton grain drier and applied the decals - which are part of the kit. The drier is fixed in the working position with all jacks down. The wheels do not turn. This is a 3D printed model and is quite delicate. It is not suitable for persons under 14 years of age. I have included some photos of the new drier next to my Opico one, so you can compare the size. The kits are now available - message me for price/to order. Sorry but I only post to UK addresses now and I don't do PayPal.
  3. Back in the early 1970s (when my brother and I were boys!) we wrote to Britains suggesting they should make a combine harvester. We enclosed pictures of the Lely Victory Mk 2 - which had a folding header, was British and was, believe it or not, the biggest combine in the world at that time. We got a polite letter back and a complimentary Britains catalogue but no combine! Years later they made the Massey 760. 3D printing has changed everything. Rather than sit around hoping the big manufacturers will make a model you actually want, you can now make your own!
  4. I have painted and lightly weathered the Teagle Tomahawk - pictures attached. It takes the Kids Globe straw bales I use on my own layout. The linkage fits the Replicagri model tractors, like the Landini in the picture. It would fit other makes if an A-frame was used (A-frame not supplied with this kit). Both spouts and the rear gate clip on. The spouts can be moved up and down. The rear gate can be removed for loading bales. Care needs to be taken when removing the gate as it is quite delicate. This is a 3D printed model and not suitable for persons under 14 years of age. I will be selling this model in kit form but please note you will need to supply your own PTO shaft and hydraulic hoses as they are not part of the kit. Message me for the price and to order. Payment by bank transfer or cheque - sorry, I don't do PayPal. Also, I only post to UK addresses now.
  5. Yes I will be selling them in kit form. I'm painting one up at the moment and will post some pictures of the painted model at the weekend. Both spouts move and the rear gate clips on. It takes the Kids Globe straw bales I use on my own layout. I need to work out the unit price, I should have a figure by the weekend. It won't be expensive👍
  6. Following the success of my Opico 5 ton drier I am releasing a 12 ton drier kit at the end of August. It is based on the Lely Top Flo 1250 - pictures attached. Will post some photos of the painted model shortly.
  7. Congratulations on your purchases, they all look great.
  8. I've been given the details of a chap in Holland who apparently does the 699 bonnet and grille. His e-mail is pominiatuurbow@gmail.com. I haven't contacted him myself.
  9. Following further edits to the baler, it now has a guard on the flywheel, a crop guide and a handle on the pick-up. The axle is also longer and the wheels and flotation tyres are correct.
