Jez Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Fellow FTF'ers! I was lucky enough to find the advert for the Landtechnik Modellteam's Summer party (http://www.landtechnik-modellteam.de/). It was only 45 minutes drive from me so I packed my camera, donned my Farm Toys Forum Polo Shirt and took my best German skills to see what they had to show. WOW :of What an amazing display! The pictures do not do it justice. The complete display covers around 110 square meters in total and most of the machines around are Radio Controlled. Either modified or Siku Control. I am uploading some pictures now into PhotoBucket. When it is done I will post some here for all to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Some of the best trees I have seen... made with real tickes then moss stuck to them and finally sprayed with glue and then scatter material sprinkled on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Bookmarked this website only this past week, Jez. Saw it on LMF. I would love to see this, you lucky tyke!! I didn't realise the area it covered though, that's pretty mighty. I take it is permanent is it? Love the biodigestion plant and the Scania as well 8) Did you meet any current or 'soon to be' memnbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 This BioMass station is based on one that is a few km down the road. Fantastic terrain, it really makes it look great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 These are all for tris and any other truck lovers. I met some of the team but they were not familiar with FTF. I tild them to check it out. AMAZING "pimped" siku scania! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 New pants please!!!!!! That Scania looks absolutely spot on * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Marky, you can't really see but the lorry driver is wearing Massey Overalls! And these are unbeleivable. One guy has rewired working lights into the Siku 1/87 scale models: Thats all folks. I wanted to meet Thomas (Green sheets and yellow wheels) but he will go there tomorrow. How ever, I did see one of his Spread a Bale models and this is amazing. Great craftmanship, detail and paint quality!! A very interesting trip!

Paul Palmer Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 thanks for the pictures jez,what a layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Smashing pics Jez, there's a real sense of distance and horizon going on with it being such a large layout. Not at the expense of fine detail either. I have to agree with you, the trees do look very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 just imagine having that much room to play with layout wise, hell i would be in my element, full blown ash tree farm the works, great pics jez thanks for sharing them bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Superb pictures of a stunning layout Jez.. thanks for sharing.

Tellarian Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi Jez, Is it a semi permanent set up, seem to recall seeing pics of it on the Dutch forum last year. America has the museum and factory outlet cluster at Dyersville, there is that on the continent, where is the Britains archive ?? It is appalling that we do not have some kind of model farming reference both for cultural and historical reasons. Lottery Grant?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 wow what an amazing layout the relief of it makes it look so real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Great photos Jez, that layout is certianly something Quick question for anyone who knows: On the continent is it common practise for a forager to load a forage wagon like on the display?

Andy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Great pictures Jez. As Tellarian said, the UK needs to have something like that. A similar feat, may be achieved next year in the UK. At the moment it is in the planning stages, location is sorted, so could be launched next May. More details to come soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
