The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nice update David, The Joal has to be the best version of the Fastrac done just a shame it wasn't done in 1/32 Thanks Mark. Despite the smaller scale it's still a cracking model. I'd love to see a highly detailed 1/32nd scale version of this Fastrac range and the early grey bonnet versions. I would definitely collect those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Great to see all of you cabinets again david really starting to have some serious collection there. I haven't added to my collection since last april due to the added person in our house but have a serious shopping list building Thanks ever so much Richard, appreciated mate. I'm so happy with how it's developed over the past year or so to where it is now, really focusing on the classics and lovely custom builds. Loads more i'd like to add in due course, but i'm in no rush until the shows start to come around. Whilst it won't be at the top of everyone's shopping list I've noticed Ertl have just released a Massey Ferguson 1805 based on previous models, all of which I have. So i'm quite keen to pick one of those up, and lots more ideas for custom conversions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 My Renault collection. All three of these bring back lots of fantastic childhood memories from when I ran them all on my carpet farming operation. I have re-collected these in recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed collecting the majority of the Britains classic era releases in recent years, and I also have a list of all the Britains, Siku, and Ertl toys I used to have on my carpet farm. Slowly but surely i'm completing that part of my collection too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I know of one you would like to see and if I can the base model cheap enough then I'm going to make one for my collection as it's something different. I'll look forward to seeing whatever you have planned in due course mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ford FW20 with front blade David once I have project X done. That sounds fantastic Mark. Just like the one in Stuart Gibbard's Ford Tractor Conversions book fitted with the Walden front blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Here's another model/toy to survive from my carpet farming days. The first version of Siku's Fendt Xylon. Another childhood favourite. My Britains MB-Trac with hopper. I remember being bought one of these for my 5th birthday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Is that the same one as in "the Ford tractor story part two" David with a white blade? if so then yes, looks like it'll be quite easy to make the blade and frame work. Spot on Mark, it's the same one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn doesn't have a website but does post on here as "mf135" his models are first class, I have around a dozen of them sat in my cabinets, the 8630 being my favourite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
