I rang about Model Tractor this week. They told me that the issue due out has been cancelled. The magazine is being revamped and will be relaunched later in the year. Similar content as well as possible real machinery articles.

www.cenfyndaviesfarmmodels.piczo.com I don't think it has been updated in a while but his contact details are on it.

I am not sure where it should hitch onto the trolley. Also there was a small part that came with the pins and gun. I am not sure where it goes. It is good that your model is fine Niels. I think an engine pump will have to be made for it. This model is a nice addition to model crop farms.

At the 2010 Moira Show Spence and Robert Shaw recreated 40 years of Maxwell Contracts in model form.

I thought it was a well detailed model but dissappointed with some of the finer detail. The reel operates well but is a model that could easily be broken due to its fine detail. Universal Hobbies is making a Bauer irrigator so I look forward to it coming out and comparing the two models.

Nice detail. I tried to fit the gun part but it will probably need filed. The pipe joint was very loose. Slightly dissappointed with parts of this model. On my model the blue bit at the front came off, and the box below wasn't well fixed on. The drawbar stand will also need filed to fit.

I found it to be a well detailed but fragile model.

Replicagri Beinlich Monsun II Irrigator. This is a model which I have been looking forward to for some time. It is priced around £40. It has only three ties to hold it in the box so it is easy to remove from the packaging. There are a few parts to connect. These are found in a compartment in the packaging.

I am having problems with Photobucket at the minute. I am using Flickr for the meantime. Photobucket won't let me upload photos from my photo files on my computer. It keeps coming up trust error but there is nothing for me to click on to say yes or no. I have contacted Photobucket and they haven't been able to solve yet. It's probably something simple. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

They look excellent. Abit of work involved there.

Thanks. Do you have any closer pictures of the potato plants? I like the maize scene a few pages back. Is farm model collecting popular in Sweden?

Excellent diorama pictures. I like the peat machine. Do you have any pictures of it in a working scene? What did you use for the green potato crop? Thanks.

Here are a few pics of the Muddytrac Farm which was expertly created by Phil Magolan. .

This is the third show that I have seen recently that is doing a weathered or dirtied up International 956 XL as a show model. Are these all being weathered by the same person? Does the Spalding tractor have a Spalding 2012 name on the model?

In what way will this new edition be different? Will it be a cheaper edition? Does anyone know when these harvesters will be released? Thanks.

I don't have too many more to post. Hopefully I will get some more through time. I'm glad that you enjoy them. It's just a pity that more photos weren't taken in years gone by.
