That looks superb! Top job. Really do like the older arable kit.

Liking that a lot, really nice job you have done with that Martin. Will be a lovely set up with your TW.

Many thanks for that Martin.

Scratch built Mercedes V10 lump.

Claas dominator 108 cab interior - Just added armrest, and new grey cloth seat covering, together with detailing mainly red/green rocker switch lights, plus giving levers and knobs the correct red/white colour scheme. Simple job that l think finishes of what is already a very well detailed and accurate cab interior by norev.

Some great updates and photos there Smithy.

As above, brilliant topic and fantastic pictures - thanks for posting, really captures the golden era of farm machinery in my eyes, keep them coming

Very much liking the lighting/set up of the Dominators.

Just a few of the last scratch built parts (claas combine)which l am leaving to fully harden after several coats (although annoyingly l had just finished the unloading auger with a nice final wet coat, and l dropped it, so had to strip it back down to the brass tubing!!). Hope to get all the parts assembled next week.

Great to see you back on the forum Mr Smith, Catch up soon.

Again - brilliant photos, think you would struggle to see better/more realistic ploughing photos. Keep them coming!!

Thanks for posting them up - Great photos, and a great period for machinery give me them over a lexion and big CR any day! Really good background info as well, keep the pictures and the info coming. Cheers.

Like wise Joe - What a great topic started by David. (thanks David ) Mine would be very similar to your choices - Nice TX (probably a 36), 8080, and a TF 46. Detailed MF 760 - old school with white topped cab, would be very nice, and although Claas are well served - would still like to see a good straw walker lexion, a mega 218 and a little old Consul!! Regarding the Volvo S950, good mate of mine has two of them in lovely/original condition - one of them was bought by his Father from new - and they sound one of the sweetest sounding diesels you could wish to hear

Brilliant pictures, and classic era especially the claas and roadless, keep them coming!

That really does look good Paul, we see a lot of weathered models, but I think it is such a fine balance between looking good and making a mess...... (if I did one it would definitely be in the latter category). Great piece of work.

Cheers for that Smithy, Do like the 674, be good to see what happens with it, coat of paint on the wheels, and get Julie to T-cut the bonnet, will be looking good!! . Good to know the TX will have at least one more season, interesting to see you have a TF42 close by, did you know about it before hand, or did you just come across it, bet there aren't to many of them about these days. That would make a lovely photo - TF 42 & TX 34 working together!! Catch up very soon, Cheers, John.

Very nice Mr Smith! what age is it Smithy, will you do anything with it (restoration wise) or leave it as it is. Just caught up on this topic, you have been a very busy man indeed!! but please..........you cant let the TX34 go!!!!!!

You've made a Britain's basic model, look like one of the high end producers - Weise/Schuco etc - Lovely job, well done.

Very nice modifications, you have turned a good base model into a top quality model. That set up/background really look the part. Well done.

Some great work, and fantastic models - really captures the period. Well done.

Good to see those balers Smithy, hope you are keeping well - must have a catch up! Suppose it depends what you can get for the two older balers, but personally I would be keeping both of them (but don't tell Julie I said that)

That looks fantastic, classic era. Lovely job, well done.

Some fantastic leaflets there Smithy!! very jealous Is there any reference to the date on the Matador leaflet Smithy, as I've never seen a Matador with the new style claas decal on the tank

Fantastic scenes, and top quality models, the layouts are full of character - really do like to see what's going on at Ashtree! I want that MF 625!! Do the Lely and JD combines live at Ashtree? Ps think you should set up a new topic to showcase all your superb scratchbuilds and conversions - 3 or 4 photos of each model in isolation.

When Martyn does a model - he does his research (and he already knows his stuff!), it certainly isn't a re-decal job. So if its an MFM model, it is correct, believe me.
