Britains farming German style
Richard de Florennes replied to Richard de Florennes's topic in Model Farms & Layouts
Thanks for the comment. As my attempt to create little winter coats for the two workers in right scale failed, at least I gave them longer sleeves and/or lang-sleeve underwear by brush stroke plus winter scarf made of real cotton wool using an old black T-shirt. Here are the results: Just for comparison the corresponding harvesting scene also presumed to take place in the 1980s - harvesting carrots and topping the crops "in golden November weather" ... -

Another Christmas present for me was the Ford 7000. Due to the snowy weather during the last weeks and having witnessed the loading of carrots in spite of snow and ice, the idea evolved of creating such a snowy carrot loading scene.

The clamp conceives of the "carrots", plastic cover, soil cover and a layer of "snow". Here are some pics of the new scene ... -

how hold? What you mean? Regarding the real digger shown on the last picture, at least 20 years.

Christmas brought me the UH Fendt with row crop wheels delivered from the factory in that state via WITOMO. Reason enough to create a new diorama to re-create an old dio. Here is the result, which is meant to show fertilazing and row cultivating of young bush bean plants: -

Tool carriers where very popular and common over here until the 1990s but are becoming more and more rare now and seem to be only used by the smaller and poorer farms ...

loading sugar beets: while the ATLAS "farm helper" was very popular in Germany in the 1980s, similar diggers are still very common in Belgium for loading sugar beets: -
