Hillview Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I like to base my model layout around vegetable farming as this is where my interest lies. Unfortunately model manufacturers do not produce model vegetable machinery so it either has to be scratch built or converted. Last year BOR made me my dream model of a veg packer. This year I wanted to do a layout representing field activities that happen in June. I wanted to recreate a cabbage planting scene with a Cheechi & Magli module cabbage planter . www.checchiemagli.com I contacted Ciaran Dunne and he said to get some pictures and measurements and he would have a go at making it.

Hillview Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 I got some measurements and photos of the real machine. Thanks to Farmer Francie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillview Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ciaran started the build and kept me upto date with regular email updates. He brought the model to Moira Show just in time for my planting scene. I was delighted with the model and the detail and accuracy he put into it is excellent. He deserves alot of credit for this build especially as he never seen one in real life and only based it on photos and measurements. A few photos of the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillview Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Young model builder Wilson Moore who makes gates etc made me the plant box. I am very well pleased with it. It even comes with slide out plant trays. Well done Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
