JohnP Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I used garden compost for the manure - good texture and colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Looking good John......The compost is effective...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Compared to jakescots collection ("wow" !) and others on here, mines a bit pathetic but what the heck, a real farm only has 4-5 tractors ! I need a few implements + bits and bobs plus start thinking about extras, like hedges, gates etc and if I ever get any space sorted, a yard & buildings ! The Marston trailer look really good but are a bit on the large side for general use - did I see a shortened conversion recently ? The main rams are sticky while the tail rams loose - I needed a prop to keep the tailgate open more later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 And finally... pride of my collection are my "Exoto"1:18 Lotus F.1 cars the luvverly Mrs.P gave me for my 50th. There's Jim Clark's 1967 Dutch-GP winning 49 (saw that on the tele !) and Graham Hills 1968-championship-winning 49B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 really hard to do justice to these and previous models without a decent photo. Struggled to get lighting/angle/distance right for ages (despite the flu - yesterday - I have been back today however - regretfully !!!)

Tractorman810 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 nice pair of lotus cars there mate,my cousin works for mclarren f1 at mo,head of body work section,he has loads of models like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The lotus look really smart john they must be worth a few bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 about 90quid each I guess, from the States (she sought out help from friends to get them) although I've since seen them on e-bay. I fancy the Jo Siffert private entry 1968 British GP-winning car to make up the set ! The Aerodynamics guys downstars from me were heavily involved in McClaren F.1 for a while a couple of years back. We have a fuel drop-tank they did by rapid prototype methods kicking around our office. But the cars don't carry the BAe logo anymore.
