The Tractor Twitcher

A few things picked up from Newark at the weekend.

Stunning collection mate, photographed in a great setting too. Top job.

Great to see.

Likewise very excited to see how it turns out.

He's certainly a busy bloke. He's just finished developing the long wheel base County 1184-TW for people to order. I've probably spent more pennies with him this year than anyone else, absolutely love the models he builds.

It's very rare a day goes by where i'm not pitching ideas or sending Ian photos to study for future builds for other people, not just me.😀 Can't wait to see 4000 when its done.

Duncan cabbed Roadless Ploughmaster 98, 78, 65 and an export spec 78. I've also asked Ian to build me the Ford 4000 my Dad was brought up on from the photo below when my Dad was 14. My Dad added the E27N toolbox to the front. Plan is to surprise him at Christmas with it.

My fleet of TAB-Models County 7700-Four and 6700-Four models.

Fantastic project you're putting together here James. Great work. Looks similar to a Browns kit possibly.

Can only assume they didn't have a pre-production or mock-up model of the actual 1/32nd Britains version and had to use the Ertl MX to represent it in the catalogue.

Looks like a 1/16th scale Ertl model.

Each to their own if someone wants to pay that much for one I guess, could think of a lot more models in front of one of those i'd rather spend £100 on though. I'm thankful I paid £19 for mine in Zwolle when they were being sold off cheap in large numbers circa 2018/19.

Tidy work as always Phil. That looks excellent.

Fantastic collection of classics mate.

Correct Jon, absolutely loved seeing his models over the years. Also loved the fact he built a lot of big old American tractors you don't see at all in 1/32nd scale.

Thanks Justin, admired these conversions for many years, mainly when they were displayed by the chap who built them at the Lakeland Show near Penrith who I got on very well with. Really pleased I've been able to give some of them a new home.

Bought these mostly custom made one off conversions out of a collection I knew well that G & M recently advertised for sale. Absolutely chuffed to bits with them all.

Like all of the models he produces Ian has a made a superb job of this one. Chuffed to bits with it.

Lovely collection Callum.

Personalised County 7700-Four from TAB Models.

Really nice David. They look great.

Lovely work as always John.

A couple of recent purchases that arrived today. Another childhood favourite in the shape of a mint Siku Renault 145.14 and the new Britains Fordson E27N

Thanks ever so much Gary, so chuffed to have been able to acquire this one. Lots of childhood memories of the real machine. Great that Dennis had the foresight and skill to recreate it in 1/32nd scale using scratch built and Scaledown parts.

Lovely to see Peter, especially that little Duncan cabbed Fendt Farmer.
