Thats absoelutly astonishing, damn your genius Malcy P 

At first site the model doesn't look too bad at all, but as Ben said in places it does look a little cheap, and those wheels, well hmm, just no really. The beacon looks a bit gormless to me, and the weightblock doesn't look particularly detailed either.  \ A few crisitiscms, im not hounding the model as it looks acceptable 

nice one nick or if you whant to read it and see the pics at the same time http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.aceboard.net%2F7381-1862-42865-0-tutoriel-comment-patiner-tracteur.htm&sl=fr&tl=en&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1

Even better, thanks buddy 

Is it me or does that bloke have amazingly clean hands  \ \

The translation, god i need something to do  

hello with all, as promised, I will expose you the techniques most used in model making to patinate a tank. j' chose an articulated JD 8430, because c' is an old vehicle, which can thus have some " vécu". place aux photographs: the JD left limps first stage: one starts by making disappear the disgracieux joints with l' helps of cement out of tube (Tamiya, Italéri, or other…) once quite dry cement (24h) one sandpapers with sandpaper for carossery, then with wool d' steel grain 0000 the hose connections d' at this time are added; food of the verrins of the blade surface with l' is protected; helps of band masks, then one repeind the mastiquées zones. all the headlights are replaced by lenses (model making for cars) the sweeping zone of the éssuie ice is masked also at this time the blade is prepared for the patina by applying a veil of brown red now one ataque the phase known as of " weathering" it is intended to reproduce the traces left by the rain and dust on a dirty vehicle or having longtemp remained outside. one applies the small ones touches painting with l' white oil, ochre, ground d' natural shade and dark blue (for a green vehicle) then, with a brush slightly soaked punt d' gasoline F (gasoline with lighter) one draws to the bottom painting while thus provaquant of light trails: after one reproduces various scales of painting and the stripes in any kind with l' d' helps; a very fine brush and nine and one strap hinge of red color brown: one can also reproduce the scales of painting by using a small piece of foam that l' one slightly taps on the surface of the part to damage a first veil of dust (30% of painting XF57 tamiya and 70% d' methylated spirits) are bracket with l' aerographer on surfaces to be covered with dust: mud projections are reproduced by mélageant various powder pigments with l' gasoline F. the mixture is projected on the model into blowing on a piceau with l' projected air with l' aerographer to reproduce l' wear of metal: nothing simpler, a lead pencil to reproduce accumulations of dust, one applies powder pigments to various places: that l' one fixes at l' gasoline F the surplus with l' is removed; d' helps; a brush quite dry punt one obtains also a different effect while passing the fingers one proceeds to the same operation for the tires to reproduce l' oxidation of pot d' exhaust, one uses here various pigments in tons rust mixed with l' gasoline F and applies to the brush one poses then the tractor termuné on a small basis prepared with l' advances:

My view on that, is that it's brilliant, i'd definetly love to do that to a model, it looks great.

I saw Mummy 3, and being a huge fan of the 1st Mummy film, it is completely dead, i thought it would of completely killed it, but it didn't so.. 

Top build, great attention to detail 

Super, Super, Super, Super, Super build, very well done Malcy  Excellent detailing, made it look so easy 

Excellent pictures mate, i've been looking forward to your harvest time photography  I just love the Deere with that La Campagne trailer and the Fendt, very nice indeed, keep up the good work 

Regards, Nick 

Ziko, all your models are simply superb if you don't mind me saying, superb details, excellent paint finishes, excellent detailing, the wheels etc really finish the models off, well done mate, a superb set of models 

Looks very good indeed, some stickers would look nice as you said  Very simple and effective, top job and a good paint finish 

Looks a very nice model to me, i like the weight block especially. And interesting choice of the woman, fair play  Nice model, i like it 

Interesting pics, thanks mate. In the pictures on the lorrys are the 5*20's powerful enough for those balers? On the back of the lorrys furthest in our left, but furthest right in real life.

Thanks again for sharing 

That chaser bin looks a beauty, whos guna be the first to convert that to a Hawe for me? 

Superb stuff, well done UH 

is this the farm layout that was in classic tractor?

Yeah it was mate, a while back with the Ford on the front? I remember reading it for ages, was one of the things that got me into the diorama 'game'. Slight changes since then 

can try and see if hes out tommorrw when i go past that way, but looking at the weather i would be surprised, but he might have left it in the field who knows

Ahh cheers Sean, that'd be nice, thanks your a dime 

Thanks guys, an interesting suggestion, i'll try and look into it, any pictures?

   look forward to seeing your trailer steve when done , the cab will stay that colour nick got to finish the cab indoors i put a bed in it so want to make sleeping bag and pillow and curtains and detail the dash up windows to glaze mirrors to add and wipers and lights to add bit of sign writing and then off to market with some cattle

Sounds very amibtious to me Graham, will look forward to seeing it finished

Nice one Graham, looks very nice, are you going to respray the cab or anything to keep it all one colour scheme? 

Well lads, as i have been idle in the world of modelling for a while, i thought i'd better do something to show im still here. So searching through some models i found a single rotor rake which can easily be converted. But i want you to suggest a really interesting make for it to be, possibly with an interesting colour scheme, something we don't see everyday.

So any suggestions welcome, possibly a slightly older machine, maybe 80's-90's? Pictures would be nice

Regards,

Nick

Excellent pictures buddy, love the combine, and those Masseys are adorable 

Graham, superb bits there. I especially like the side knife and header extension and the sheep handling system, superb superb superb! Well done bud 

You finished it off very nice Graham, well done, a superb model and an actual machine i see quite often, so is good to see it being transformed to 1/32  Well done

Looks very nice, i like that dinky Renault, and a nice spreader too, thanks for the pictures 

Where were these pictures taken as a matter of interest? 

You are right about the farming style and i think when the farmers have the choice they want to farm your way. But the first problem is we have a food problem in the world. The second problem are the consumers. When a consumer want to buy for example meet he can buy meet from pigs that lived outside or in a barn. But the price from meet from a pig that lived outside is much higher than from a barn pig. So the problem is that consumers don't want to pay for food and buy the meet from a barn pig,so they can spend there money on other things.

Oh i completely agree mate, i know they get paid barely anything for what they raise and know that conditions have to be like this to retain any profit etc, just a shame it's got like this  \

Im not a fan, i don't like sheds set out like that if im honest, i know there in the same format as many pig barns, but they just look so .. i don't know, so concentrationcampish, but thats my opinion, as much as i don't agree with that style of farming it's an impressive set up
