Udimore Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The box adds to its character for me ;) I'll whisper this but unlike the box it was only a fergie (not mf) Its a great model Martin, will you get one or is it too big scale wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Certainly coming along pretty smoothly Mart, will you have her at any local country shows or anything this year or will it be next year before she gets a public showing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Certainly coming along pretty smoothly Mart, will you have her at any local country shows or anything this year or will it be next year before she gets a public showing? Thanks Tris...... I think it'll probably be next year before she goes public because although it looks fine as it is just now there are a few wee things that I'd like to get sorted before she gets put on show (such as the tyres etc). I really wanted to get her up to a standard suitable for working with for the Summer and then complete her properly after that - having said that I hope to have the lights on soon......Before the work in the Summer hopefully......

jdc Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Looking really tidy now, Mart - amazing what mudguards do! Drive her through a grass field for a while, that'll put a nice shine on the tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
