Lady Ferguson Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 The only reason I don't do that type of thing is because of lack of knowledge, Niels! But, it you want to send me pics of what you mean perhaps I can think about the possibility. I rely on you guys to tell me what you need. The list for this year includes: Female tractor driver (possibly part of a set of Lady Farmers, depending on how she turns out!) Chickens More workshop accessories Dairy worker More custom decals (all being well - this depends on me training Siobhan to do them!) Skip Jack Russell We also have some models left over from last year that are still to be released. So there maybe a little space for one or two extra models!

Niels Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Mandy, here's some pictures of the big GPS manufacturers (JD, Trimble, Topcon and Ag Leader). I think they'd be quite popular? If you want to go all the way you need a little screen in the cab as well of course. If you need any information let me know. Just out of interest, how do you create a model figure? Do you first have to hand craft something out of clay and make a mould for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Oddly enough I was going to ask you Mandy GPS with the in cab screen as well next time I order from you. Also was going to ask if you had thought about a small auto caster or the likes for putting on rollers etc for sowing rape and grass etc them wee air seeders seem popular all over the world.

Lady Ferguson Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Brilliant idea - love it! Which model is the most popular? I'll do some research and get dimensions etc. I employ a sculptor and he uses whatever is most appropriate really - with figures he uses a polymer clay. Do you have any pictures, please Ollie?

Light Land Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Stocks ag air seeder would be one of the more popular ones Mandy, if you had a air seeder of sorts I'd surely take a couple and other members the same I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think generally JD and Trimble are the most popular. Would be fairly easy to measure one up and take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 U P D A T E S Well. we're hoping to have our poultry ready for Spalding, but it is tight!

Light Land Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Sounds good mandy, any plans to do an auto caster for rape seed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Not just yet, Ollie. The trouble is I often work from photos and I am a bit nervous about doing that with something that technical. For example the GPS - I need to know what it looks like from all angles, but I can't find any photos or technical specs.So really I need to find someone who has one and we don't have any arable farms locally - hence it takes me a little time to get plans together for our sculptor, I'll keep it in-mind of course.

Lady Ferguson Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just a quickie - we'll be at Spalding on Sunday and will have our new poultry sets, which have been painted by the wonderful, Mr Phil Magolan. Many of you would have seen his outstanding work on here already and we're really looking forward to working with him on more projects this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks for your comments. We already do the rest of the poultry equipment (in readiness for when Britains brought their's out this year - but of course, they were a bit of a disappointment) and that includes a crate of eggs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - yes it is a Herald. As always, our products hopefully pay homage to this amazing Britain's range. We've made them slightly plumper and the cockerel is fractionally bigger, and (because people will want to use the on their dios) we've got rid of the bases.

Lady Ferguson Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 New releases: Electricity Poles (we had already been selling something similar, but had supply problems, so we've developed our own models) Something for the vintage farm diorama - these will be supplied without bases so they sit properly on your plough. They will also have more detail than the models shown. These ratchet straps have been requested by one of our biggest dealers and will be the only ready-to-display versions in 11:32 scale on the market. They'll be available in about a week's time.
