Not bad at all Marky for a first attempt, one small suggestion try taking the pic without the flash and I think you'll see more contrast and detail in the picture, as flash washes out colours

Excellent build there Simon one to be very proud of especially when you worked hard at it, first class bit of work

Looks good easy to get around, best of luck with the site

this is bringing a smile to my face keep going :D

Like the fence, what do you use for it ?

Looks the biz Peter, just right for the JCB

Just came across this topic today, I've spent the last hour looking through and just lost for words, this is the best build I have ever seen in 1/32 building. You really are a true craftsman Damien I can't wait to see this build finished, it looks fantastic now but when finished holy smoke and sweet baby Jesus :) excellent build

I love it, looks like that Fendt was hauling muck in wet weather

Like the over grown and junk yard stuff, have to say the JD is a little young to be scrapped!! but what else can you expect from a JD you have got lots of room there Rhys for expansion

Looking good Peter, the new lane is a tight squeeze alright.

Some nice sowing kit there Cerin, I like the corn milling shot what are the bales for just wondering?

Nice layout starting there Mike, how about adding a little muck for the pigs to wallo in

Fantastic diaramas there Sacha, I like the spud harvest pics those spuds look so real. The Holmer beet harvester looks great all mucked up love it

Nice compact layout there, like the pit with the walkway at the rear busy scene wish it was Summer now!

What I find hard to understand about the whole thing is, if RC2 want to re-hash existing models and kit, then why not take a look at some of the talented builders on here, who with a bit of hard work and glue turn some of the most standard Britains kit into masterpieces. Using tools at hand so why can't RC2 use there expensive manufacturing kit to do the same? Or why not just hire some of the lads on this forum to give them a few tips and ideas, maybe that's what is lacking at RC2 today, bring back Warner Hall is what I say, reading his very interesting articles in Model Tractor is always a pleasure.

In my opinion, the Britains that we all know and loved died in the 90s. Like alot of members here on the forum, who grew up with Britains models, the working NewHolland and Bamfords balers, the machinery that in some way always had some sort of moving part just like the real thing. That's why I collected Britains. I think today the brand has suffered for many reasons, but we must remember Britains were always toys. Stricter controls brought into safe guard children from small items that could kill ended items like the New Holland baler! The cultivator which, the tines always fell off. The last few years have seen some great models from Britains/Ertl, the JD Forage Harvester for example. Then they followed this up with the case, Newholland and the more recent NH forage harvester which, were in my opinion a waste of time. Badly moulded and put together. I'm tired of the resprays (Marston trailer) re-bonnet, re-badge and nothing new. The days when Britains brought out maybe 2 new models a year are long gone, but they did a good job. I'm still a Britains supporter but not a happy one :'( please Britains new items, I'd be happy with 2 or 3 new items well made each year from Britains/Ertl not 10 badly made re-badged! Thankd God for UH, ROS, Siku, Weise should I go on..................

Like those bales Mark, they look the part, nice machine pullling them and a local trailer

Looking good Bluefan, another layout with lots of detail

Tidy new layout there Mike, I like the new shed. Some storage space and the pit a yard all under one roof

Nice 824 Noel, must add one to the wish list.

Just caught up with your topic Jez, sorry to hear your packing in the layout :'( Have to say those last few pics are fantastic, the detail the dust, the last pic looks so real Hopefully Jez you don't leave it to long before we see Two Oaks Farm the second

Why not try have a show in Thurles or Athlone? Mullingar might be closer for Northern folk.

Looking at your collection of self build harvesters has really made my day, excellent Brian, you sure are one talented builder.

Already said it about your builds
