Cheers mate ... Really appreciate it

:D Expect she wasn't too pleased

May we ask how much ?

Been round my Nan' all afternoon .... just got back waiting for my Mum whos been up to the hospital. And we are 90% sure the cancer has been removed so i'll be up there tomorrow to have a little party . So been a weird old day ... Just got a min. on the PC so i thought i would say

Looking very good ... Are you going to be selling all of your implements ?

Your detail is amazing ....... Your machinery is amazing. I especially like the mud and all the stuff on the mower gives it some real depth and therefore it looks amazing !! Cracking job

From a kids point of view that started collected with his pocketmoney i thought that the steering nobs on the top were quite a good idea for carpet farmers, it was very easy and saved alot of fuss.But now from a collectors point of view they aren't so good. Collectors are only a portion of the custom they must get so it would be interesting to see what there solution would be to suite both.

Just with my Dad just talking to the Dr. about the procedure all is looking good but i just live in hope

Holy .......... :o Very very nice indeed

Thanks ... that is a very good suggestion and i may just have to try that. Thanks also Ben it was a bit of a panic as i have never really converted/scratch built before so i didn't really nowhere to start but this i can hopefully build on. Thankyou Fendtsrule it was a little idea that popped into my head and although very flimsy could come in handy ... Sorry i did promise some pics of the finished job but i have been up the hospital tonight so i will try to get them done for tomorrow.

I just found a temporary solution whilst trying to go into mass production. It's pretty simple really and is ideal for my forklift. I used those little plastic things you always get with drills that i don't have a clue what you use them for and widened it a bit to put on the twine. I then managed to fit it onto another of my brushes and hay presto. This brush hasn't been painted but i think it would look good tomorrow after a spray and [glow=red,2,300]maybe[/glow] some warning decals. By the way if anyones interested in one i have a few unused toothbrushes spare that could be adapted to your needs Give me a PM if you are ;) Thankyou for all your kind comments and i'll get some pics of the finished item hopefully by tomorrow.

Only saw a Case ( have no idea of numbers due to the loader being in the way ) looked a bit like an 844 with a bale trailer.

Looking very nice indeed Ian .... can't wait to see that with some colour and decals. Looks the business

Anyway back on topic .... I've just spent the last couple of hours trying to put a pin/hook in the top of the brush that conviently fits around the pallet tines but i have got absoelutly nowhere. But i think this would look so much better than just having cotton or something so i may have to cheat. I may get a small hole drilled by the neighbours if i cannot find another solution. Some more pics tomorrow ... depicting the re-painting and the attachment.

Your right Mart, it is an Allis Chalmers forklift by Corgi

Thanks for the kind comments mjb1, tractorman810 and Steve im just trying to figure out a way of getting a small screw through a thick piece of plastic without a proper drill ;) And im not quite sure as i bought it when i was a toddler and have nothing in the way of boxes for it. And im using it because it's the closest thing i have to a forklift even if it isn't it 1/32. But they don't look out of place on a diorma scale wise.

More pics to follow soon ...

As alot of you may know i have acess to no proper tools like drills .... and most certainly cannot cast in resin etc. So i always think of things i could do to improve my diorama and give me a bit of FTF credit ;). And whilst flicking through Farmers trader i saw a brush clearer. Self proclaimed to be better than yard scrapers. So all week i've been thinking about how to make one. And then it hit me whilst doing my teeth Yes you've got it. So i grabbed my old tooth brush and gathered some bits from around the house. 1. A Jr. Hacksaw 2. Masking tape 3. Spray paints ( left over from my seed drill convo ... not the local bus shelter ) 4. A bucket of cheap fixings and screws 5. The farmers trader 6. A ruler 7. A disused model forklift 8. 2x Toothbrushes ( 1 incase anything goes wrong ) I then begun to saw the main brush off of the toothbrush as it was exactly the right size to fit my old Eddie Stobart forklift. I then masking taped the plastic bit and spray painted the brushes red, even though in the picture they are blue ..... but i've only got Kverneland colours. I am currently waiting for the paint to dry and then i shall be painting the plasticcy bit white .... and trying to find a way of making an attachment to keep the brush to the pallet tines. I do not have any idea if you've ever done anything like this before and sorry if i sound like a complete moron ... but i do not get out much these days ;)

Got up the late for club rugby training .... Then did the pick up round and off to training. Then after pratically destroying Mum's car with the mud hobbled to the shower and the rest of the day i've been sitting in my pj's watching the Man U game ( *Cocky smile towards the Aston Villa fans*) and doing some more technical drawings Graham watch out :D

Thanks Tim, another cracking week on Cider Hill Farms ... keep up the good work !!

Exactly what Fendtsrule said .... looking brilliant so far my friend.

Woke up at 7:15 to go and meet the school team to embark on a journey up to Ipswich.... half the team werent there so we waited an hour in the coach. Then after a grueling two hours of happy slapping chaos and after punching a chav for slapping me we got there and got ready. To go out, get hammered by kids twice the size of us and generally kids twice the power. And to get soaked .... and to here all the way back my best mate talking about how he broke someones coller bone Great day >

As JD7930 a ladder would good and a decal ... but the dot effect was a great idea and gives it a great look. It does now look very nice indeed and can't wait to see what you do with it after a re-spray.

Where did you find it in the end ?

Very smart indeed .... could do with something like that around my farm.
