Great update John, more fantastic builds there, those Triffits look a nice job and your 118s are just 👌

Thanks very much Paul, the models have dried up at present as we’ve been lambing the past month, but hopefully I’ll be back to them again shortly!

A model I’ve been wanting to build for ages now, a set of Watson hydraulic folding grass rollers. I’ve rolled many hundreds of acres with a set of these, so thought it was about time I got them done!

Tidy, what did you use for the actual rollers? I’d like to make a set of gang rollers at some point.

The rollers are made from copper tubing Jack. I was going to make them from styrene sheet but I couldn’t get a neat enough roll, then I came across some pipe from an old heating tank that was exactly the diameter I needed. The ends were made up for it and then it was wrapped with thin styrene to allow the slight overlap at the end of the drums without it looking too chunky
