Hello Boys and Girls.

I've resized these at home because I couldn't trust you-know-who to resize them for me.  ;D

The lads are going to travel to Spalding and we're hoping to have T-Shirts for you to buy there!  8) They will also be signing autographs!

But seriously, here's more of the good stuff: (starting with the MF sign)

I'm still in awe of these guys!

Michael of Farmmodels.Net fame is in awe of these guys! (and that is saying something!)

The Lee trailers are built from ice-lolly sticks. The silage rake on the JCB is scratch built. The silage pit walls, and the stand for the molasses tank are 6mm OSB with the panels/blocks scored with a Dremel. The rail on the top of the silage pit is made from matchsticks. The soil in the tillage scene is peat moss. The silage is sawdust mixed with green oxide paint (the type used to paint haysheds). Smallclaas will vouch for this technique as he was the first person I saw doing it - now everybody is doing it  :D

Check out the CB aerial on the JCB. Michael thought it was so cool when he saw it that he went home and made one for his JCB!

The bad news is that ideas for the next edition are thin on the ground. Anybody got any thoughts?

Paul, the answer to the question asked was "JCB"!  ;D

The axles are standard JOAL front axles. I can't remember what wheels he used. The jacks are from an ERTL Case 580.

MJB: I've got a 4ft x 2ft silage field board done, and I'm expanding it to 4ft x 4ft shortly. There are pictures of it on a couple of other threads here somewhere. I'll post some of the expanded version when I get to finishing it. It'll be the first outing of my New Holland FX.

James: Do you reckon you could get drawings/measurements of a Lee 16ft tandem axle? Both Paul and I are interested in making one of those. They were a beautifully proportioned trailer.
