These are the classics we need more of in 1/32 .. Thank you Justin. To be honest, that seems to be the route I am heading down now, gradually moving away from the modern kit and concentrating on gear from when I was growing up in the 70's through to the 90's, so probably much more of this classic stuff to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I've been trying to get the JCB finished, then its back to the 1394, 685 and then probably more74's once i get going with the casting!

Door mirrors made, just to add along with the back window and plough light, then she's ready for work Lovely work John, looks fantastic and that's a great tip for the window rubbers, would never have thought of that technique. I've been asked to build a 1/16 scale one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably could Nige, but with the current orders for 1/32 scratch builds, it's not looking very likely. To develop and build prototypes of a detailed card model would take months, never mind the organisation of parts sheets and instruction sheets needed for you to build it.

844john Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 No problem Nigel, personally i think 16th scale is easier to work on, but that's just simply down to everything being that bit bigger to see and hold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That weeks looks spot on already !! I’ve started building a copy of your mf grain trailer you swapped me ! I decided I need about 3 on my diorama. I’m not really having much time to do stuff like this for myself, hopefully things might free up ! But I’ve run out of materials on hold until Tuesday now.. is this weeks going to have all singing and dancing removable silage sides ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Thanks Sam, yes, my plan was to make a plus40 with removable silage sides and auto tight-on door, so we'll see how it goes. Looking forward to seeing this layout of yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
