Popular Post Kirely Posted July 20, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2018 Horse Drawn Potato Digger. I hope these models are not to retro for this Site. I used a Siku Potato Digger as a donor and added a shaft for the horses. The hardest part was building the swingle trees for which I used a wooden coffee stirrer and some bits of brass. I had some ultra fine chain which looks the right scale to me, usually chains used in modelling are over scale and chunky. The Horses are Britians lead horses and I used the holes behind the collars [for wires] to thread the chains through. The Siku Potato Digger is probably too large for a horse drawn vehicle but it was the only digger I could find for this project. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Very nice, it's good to see some horse drawn gear on here, as a boy my father worked on the farm with horses together with a standard fordson and a david brown cropmaster, and he does like to reminisce about them now and again! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDonald's coffee stirrers I normally get a hand full when in there use them to mix to 2 part clues together or to did in the grease bucket to get a small lump to poke in bolt hole keeps your fingers clean also keep my shirt clean as don't have to wipe hands down the front of it . Liking you models always like to go and watch them in action at shows 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
