Thank you......yes, I like to show the build process, hope it helps others have a go the way seeing builds has helped me. Yes, all standard plasticard I bought from Antics and ebay.

Thanks Smithy

Thank you Ben

Then my take on it,

Mercer Machinery are an agri company based in Herefordshire, selling potato and irrigation gear. They sell a trialed pump that I wanted to make in 1:32 scale! I had no measurements to go on, so all guess work and scaling from the wheel dimensions. The real thing

Some other random built pics

So it can be a 7 furrow or an 8

I inserted a magnet in the end on the main beam so adding the extra furrow was doable!!

It's somewhere near finished now,

Wheel bracket Extra furrow beam I glued the furrow to the arm with bicarbonate of soda and super glue, this is an area that I wasn't happy with, but only way of doing it without it being to flimsy

Stand I made so I could put it all together

Bit of paint added

Dry fit

Attaching the headstock to the main beam with the main lift arm and parallel link arms

Building up the furrow legs, I made a template to glue each stage of the build as uniform as possible.

Mixed results.....so I sent info to a professional company that made the plough blades for me! The top one is how they arrived, flat. The middle is after rolling one way. The bottom is with a second 'roll' a different way.......trying to get that plough furrow curl.

Then, when we all went into lockdown, in March 2020, I had a go at brass etching!!!!

I designed the leg bracket and had these 3D printed (Via someone on Fiverr) Think this was in 2019 now!

Alignment cylinder

This will be the alignment cylinder,

The headstock

I started doing this back in 2017 😐 Lots of research in finding parts manuals and drawings. I originally started building it in brass.....but that got too heavy, so plastic became the main building material, along with some brass parts. Many of the parts were traced around from parts drawings on 2D software and later sent to a company to be laser cut out from different thicknesses of plastic sheets. The 2D software I used was scaled to 1:32, so when I printed them off on A4 paper, that was the finished size, then sent to be cut from A4 sheets.

Beauty!
