My TVT arrived this morning. Absolutely fantastic model. Well done Ian and Paul......  ;) :)

Glad you are happy with it and thanks very much for the business.

Merry Christmas Paul

Well Ian you have a week off,think I need to paint some more bonnets,roof's etc and get them up to you so you can assemble some more on boxing day ;) ;) ;)

I'd put a figure of ?150 on mine which is double what I paid for it 6 years ago ;D

He's wanting ?50+ each for them, is that too much?? 

If there mint boxed it sounds like hes not far out :o :o

Paul,

What are the CASE 580 models worth, my mate is selling a 580G and a 580D which i'm pondering over making an offer for but not sure what they are worth.

Keep an eye on them on ebay but they can make good money,offer him ?20 each ;D ;D

In truth any really - As long as it's MF and it's near mint I'm not that fussed - I think I have bid on a 50hx ? before (twice) but they both made silly money on ebay.

Any digger with MF on it now makes 'silly' money,your best bet is to find a 50HX or a 860 at one of the shows.Still expect to pay anywhere between ?50 and ?100  :( :(

Whoops missed one :o

Cursor Kramer circa 1983 I have a soft spot for this one as I think it's unusual :D

Very nice PDC - you got any conrad's in that lot.  I want an MF conrad but I can't find one for the right sort of price - do you know how much I should be looking to pay for one ?

What model Massey digger are you looking for?

Here's my 1.32/1.35 scale backhoe-loaders :D

Any pictures of it's ar$e?? 

I have been assured the linkage will be here in the morning 8) 8)

You've done a good job there Paul. 

Thanks mate :) :)

All ready to go!!!

Looks great, but will it have the extra black panel above the decal? 

Do you think we're going to all this effort then not putting the extra grill on it's part of the decals which I havn't fitted yet :o

Looks great Paul. Ian should get my cheque tomorrow or Tuesday...... ;)

The one in the picture could be winging it's way to Scotland then ;) ;) ;)

has DT built some as well as i saw one on e-bay earlier ?

Not the same but similar Dave's is all Britains ours is on a UH chassis

I should have the first tractor finished tomorrow,but here's a little taster for you ;)

Lot's of you seem to want a TVT 190 there's nothing stoping you having 190 stickers on your model the reason for doing a 155 is because the UH chassis's wheel base,track width and wheel size is exactly to scale for a 135/155/155 but not big enough for a 170/190.if you can live with your TVT190 being a little under scale then 190 decals is no problem

I just thought i'd post this again to make things clear ;)

What about dual beacons ;)

It will have one on the nearside rear cab pillar as shown in the New Holland brochere ;)

Suppied in the box in a small bag will be the mirrors a beacon and decals if your not having the standard 155 :D

Looks very smart indeed Paul, I hope you do some more like it ;)

I've just posted my cheque out to Ian for it, looks like it will make a good crimbo present to myself :D

Thanks Nathan,I can't wait to get the first one finished i'm finding it really hard not to start painting the detail,but as I only sprayed the blue today I dare'nt incase I get finger prints in the paint ;)

Be sure though as soon as that first one is complety finished you'll see it here first ;) ;)

That seems to be the norm nowadays whatever you seem to be involved in. no one seems to keep to there timings

Yes that's really annoying   when someone asks me to be on site at 07.30 when delivering a machine i'm there,mind you if you get held up and don't get there till 8.00 all hell breaks loose,it dos'nt take much to say thanks for being on time but not many people say it :(

thanks ? have there been any unforseen costs that have hindered development ? if so how much would be passed onto the end price ?

No unforseen costs,no we've  managed to keep the price where we wanted it (?58) the main problem is getting people to deliver when they say there going to > >

will this have the britains or siku type of hitch paul ?

We have made a rear hitch based on the one on the UH ttv chassis but with siku/Britains ends to accept most implements  ;)
