Valley Axe Man Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Here's my latest 1/16th Fordson Conversion, Scratchbuilt timber winch, rad guard and weights for rear wheels and tin fronts instead of cast wheels. Just ready for off down the woods in the Valley to winch a few sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Cheers for the comments lads, they appreciated , first time i put one of my builds on here, so was sort of wondering what response i get. I look into the weathering but i think it'll be one of those projects that will never truly be finished, always finding something else to add to it. It be at show in all its glory Mike, i'd best get on with job 'cos theres a couple of other bits to get finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Very nice build. It's good to see someone tackling 1/16 scale stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I assume and hope I will see this one at Lanark in almost 6 months time Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Cheers John, It a bit of something different to Uh normal releases, Yep Bill It'll most probably be at Lanark amongst a few other bits an pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Excellent ..always like to see new displays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Very nice indeed. Not a common model, nor a common scale when you look through FTF so it is refreshing to see what you have done here. Will it be performing a winching task when on display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm hoping to put it to work in a 1/16th forestry display sometime Tris, theres a few odds an sods thats going toward the project and an idea or 2 floating around, It different doing 1/16th, just a bit different and a change from the norm and our usual 1/32nd forestry scenes. I can't say when the display will be finished but it'll appear somewhere Thanks for your comments though they appreciated I'm hoping o get a few more bits finished for Lanark Bill, although it not Forestry, but there is one or two new bits that i'm keeping under my hat until then Ps it not a fordson shaped cake either hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Aye there be a special cake for sunday afternoon bud! It be good to be upstairs again, alot warmer than in the pens, although some did say it was the best place for us!! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Wow! That will be some display by the time you are done with it! I expect it will be a real head turner when it is done, no rush though.... Some things take a while to perfect. One thing a good display shows is time, as you have showed with your show pieces in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Cheers Tris, as and when bits get done i'm sure they'll appear on here and when its finished i'm sure it'll make it on to a table at toytrac, if not this year then probably next but will have to remember the cake when i do :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Look forward to that Did somebody say cake?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Aye Tris, you heard the word "cake" I'll bring some down to Wincanton for those that missed out at Annandale and seeing as mum doesn't do mail order, it be rude not to bring any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Now Paul...... That's the best reason I ever heard for attending anything! Roll on cake o'clock. Now, get back to that Fordson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 No Probs Tris, on with it already............ just waiting for for a bit of weathering to dry off more pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Weathering now nearly completed, done by hand with a standard craft paint brush, and a detailing paint brush for the finer bits using (Games Workshop) CITADEL colours and washes, to get the desired effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Look at it! Brilliant, Paul. Top of the tree, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
