Stabliofarmer Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 One thing I've always lacked on dioramas is detailled tractors, so its about time I rectified it. Going for a DB 996 with loader, will be adding a realistic rear hitch, the loader and then a full repaint trialling some weathering techniques for paint flacking off and rust showing through. So far I've got the basic loader frame done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 very nice mate,will fit in to your layout perfectly, often thought about a db loader but will prob wait and do a uh based one when they eventually come out , as i am more used to seeing those ,used to be a dealer right behind my other nans place in romsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks guys Yeah should fit right in. The Huddersfield factory was only the other side of the moors so many farms where loyal to the brand, I'd hazard a guess that its probably still the most common tractor around the area, bar maybe Zetor. UH's release will be put on baling duties if ever they arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 She looks so sweet spent long summer of 88 89 90 91 before the round bailer arrived in 92 with a flat 8 browns bale grab on a 996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Just about got this ready for Penrith back in November, well enough to hide in the barn. Still got the rams, headstock and decals to sort yet. Weathering is Valejo pigments, and brown poster paint with some tile grout mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
