  1. A monster indeed Sean, and yeah i tried the Valtra T infront of it and it looked more like a Valtra C, i had to check the box just incase I've tried the Xerion and the McCormick ZTX on the front, the ZTX doesn't look too bad but i think i'll either stick with the Xerion or invest in a John Deere 8530, or something big
  2. Thanks everyone, it was a pleasure doing it, my first actually i would like to do more and i have plans to buy the extremely similiar 'La Campagne' from UH to do a kind of trailer battle comparison So keep eyes peeled for that, thanks for the words lads Yeah Mart, i think that ROS are certainly getting better all the time, they released the odd bits and pieces and then came along the Merlos and then those Ferabali ( or something ) balers with the Joskin rake and the Fiat and now the two Joskin trailers and this, i think they are getting very close in detail if not identical in detail to UH. I look forward to seeing more from ROS
  3. Well when i saw this model being released by ROS i immediatly smiled and said to myself 'im having one of those'. I myself am a fan of big French and German set ups and prefer seeing machinery working in France and Germany to England so saw a few of these and similiar models in France especially. So after a few weeks waiting for it to be released and saving up etc it arrived today, in a box the size of London Firstly it is presented very nicely in a Dangreville unique box, which i personally enjoy, others may think im sad but i like to see a nice box, just gives the model an extra something. The box on the back has images and all the technical information which is good, but in French Heres a picture of some of the box: After removing from the box the first thing we notice is the general weight and size of this, let me tell you it isn't small Its not majorly heavy, although its one of the heavier pieces, just a bit heavier than a Siku Claas Lexion 600 to give you some idea Heres a few general overall shots and then we'll go a bit further in depth: Then we go into some of the finer details, PTO for example ( not fully assembled byself but gives you the idea ) and some hoses etc Mesh and a window at the front of the trailer A ladder on the outside.. And on the inside, nice touch And also a few opening parts Now we move slightly back, we have the wheels, all there own steering And the tailgate And this is a winner for me, lovely touch! And the hydraulics or whatever underneath So its a very detailed model, all decals are very well stuck on, the paint work is well i have no complaints and all small bits are firmly attached and do not look too fragile. So lets compare its size to some other models First up old stlye flat bed: Britains flat bed: Siku Krampe: ( Dangreville without grain sides ) Claas Lexion: Claas Xerion ( my biggest tractor ) So thats about it really, on the whole its a very sturdy and well built piece with no real problems that are blindingly obvious, im not sure the hydraulics hold up by themself and the stand to hold the trailer up when unattached to a tractor is flimby but works, a few minor chips but everyelse is fine. A beast of a model, will take up lots of space but is worth its money and a good addition to any shelf or diorama Maybe even carpet farms, but the model is a bit delicate and kids may drop it My rating 9.5/10 Chuffed with it
  4. Yeah thats it mate, get everything into place first just how you want it and then put in things that will make it look perfect, just like finishing touches etc. And then of course you can move it around to fit what you want. Keep us posted by the way, i'd like to see how this one unfolds so keep taking photos please
  5. Very nice mate, very nice. You've got lots of nice models there and bundles of potential so just a bit more attention to detail and realism and it'll be perfect
  6. Good man, not having a go at you but yeah in future just try to make topics a little more specific and then you get exactly what your looking for
  7. OK well why not put that in the title of your topic?

  10. Good pics to me Nick, good work some awesome pics
  11. Wow now that is superb, i worked with one in the summer a beast of a machine and you've done it proud. Lovely model mate, superb superb superb!
  12. Eee its ok mate, as said the decals could do with being bolder and whiter, but other than that you've done a simple job well, maybe some better warning decals also, a bit brighter? But yeah looks perfectly fine
  13. Awesome work, that is a piece of perfection i love it
  14. Where were you working Steve i remember seeing a clone of you sitting in a digger on a motorway somehwere, near Luton maybe? But not sure And for me just come back from Wales on my holiday and just finishing off a few cartoons which i hope to sell maybe
