Lady Ferguson Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 How about a farmer in the safety gear for when their spraying, one sitting down when driving the tractor and one standing up when filling the sprayer? Great idea! Keep 'em coming guys - you know what figures you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Mandy I'd like to see a chap sat down, legs outstretched as if sat against the front wheel of his tractor on a sunny lunchtime. Possibly with squash bottle/thermos and a coolbag/lunchbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly with squash bottle/thermos and a coolbag/lunchbox Another fine idea! I recently saw a vintage version of this called 'ploughman's lunch', made in 1:32 scale - it featured the ploughman sat down with dog, lunch, nosebag for the horse and a keg of scrumpy!

THEBRITFARMER Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 How about a vet/shepherd/farmer kneeling down as if helping with lambing,calving or checking on an animal. Then of course you would have to make an animal lying down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 what about a guy/woman holding a broom and slightly bent forward? (in the process of sweeping) . would be ideal for display purposes of stables and around the house/yard.. maybe replace the broom with a shuffle/spade or hay fork?

Tractorman810 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 what about a rehash of the britains figures to make a guy holding a bale mandy, 2 handed infront of him??? only seen it done a few times but that might do well, in a pen taking it of a front laoder or similar, would work well ontop of a trailer being stacked to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Interested Spectator Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 How about a tractor driver or forager driver with mobile a phone held up to his left ear and his right hand steering. Most contractors are always on there phones. Then all you would need is the Copper giving him a ticket as he pulls onto the road !!!!

harvey123 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 i had an idea and how about a guy with apron on in a milking parlour and i ould also like to see a guy leaning back in a tractor shutting/opening a rear window?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 What I would like for Leakey Vale is a man (or woman for that matter) leaning forward with one hand stretched to put something in or take something out of a trailer/vehicle or off a shelf, bench or such. (Checking the hitch on a trailer came to mind as well.) Some of my tractors have lifting engine covers and such a figure could be reaching to open or close them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 it will be great if we can get people like this and all the ideas done its what we have all been waiting for its a wonder no one ever approached the likes of britains or siku to do these sort of drivers or farm workers years ago its always whats missing from a great display or diorama lack of drivers or workers about the yards hopefully that will all change now I think it's because the model market is still a lot smaller (and less profitable) than the toy market - so the big companies try to cover both (and we know that doesn't work terribly well for us 1:32 diorama builders and model tractor collectors). \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
