ploughmaster Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Found these pictures on my computer although these are not mine it shows the 2 different forage harvesters in the banded box. I have 2 versions both in straw boxes that have a different picture on the box. Good man I thought someone might have seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 A New addition has officially joined the fleet today, a LWB Land Rover purchased off E bay, Complete apart from the rear lights ( which I have remade from clear sprigs from and Airfix kit) Tow eye clip all glass (both doors windscreen and canopy side windows present) just stripped to component form shot blasted body and chassis and gave it a full re paint and some new decals for the doors, not entirely happy with the weathered galvi effect I tried on the front bumper, very pleased with it and could have left as was as the paint was not so bad but fort £12.50.....2 days later one with slightly better original paint went for £46.00 on E bay. Will post up more pics as I work out how to resize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Some nice additions James but I'm now suffering from a stiff neck after viewing some of the Landy photos ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Two more purchases from Spalding I forgot to add to my collection thread, a haybob and hay rake, kindly modeled by a Ford and a Massey just to keep it even, they were both £5 each a steal I think, there was the blue and brown haybob for £5 aswell and Im kicking myself for not picking that up aswell :'( not my colours of choice red and yellow but its the rarer version.

Nice buys. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the even more uncommon r&y bobs that have the original "Lely" decal (as noted elsewhere on the forum, probably factory leftovers from the old blue and red haybob) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on some of the later re-issue red and yellow ones was a red label with the Lely logo in white or yellow (I can't remember which without searching mine out ), so they weren't leftovers.
