👮‍♂️as forum moderator i am going to need to invoke mod rules here and insist both are sent over to me for proper assessment john, just to be sure they aint real 😀 fraud is a terrible thing 😀 superb is all i can think to say.if you ever do a ransome cavalier i may be interested, been on my plans for ages just never seem to have the time to actually do one, always liked them after one of our neighbours ran two when i was little.

Thanks Sean, going by how a courier was treating parcels whilst looking for one of ours the other day, I’m not sure they would survive the journey!!! The Cavalier is a fine looking machine as well, possibly one to think about for the future?

Thanks Alastair, I’m hoping with a bit more practice I’ll start to get the hang of it!😄

You have the patience of a saint

For the effort and detail gone into it, you'd believe you had a real one day next to you in the shed, but for someone that's only working off photos and brochures impeccable work the new owner is going to be incredibly lucky to have such masterpiece 😉

Thanks Zac, I hope he’s happy with it! 👍 I wish I did have access to the real thing to be honest, there’s been a fair bit of time spent on research and working out how it all sits together. Unlike a modern combine where nearly everything is covered over, on this it’s all visible so I wanted to get it as near as I could....at least the real thing is a rare find nowadays so any mistakes I’ve made shouldn’t be too obvious!😁

spot on john, one advantage i have found in doing this older stuff is the handbooks and maintenance  books tend to have some great diagrams of every part in them ,which modern stuff doesn't, as they published them to allow farmers to fix them, few pics from those in the past helped me out no end

I  bought some sort of manual for the MF Delta combine to try and make something better out of the Siku model....I didn't get on very well though! I'd like to find another of those combines one day and have a go at improving it though

If I did I think I'd be a few decades/centuries away from your standards John 😆

Thanks James, aye they’ve certainly been fiddly little beggars to do😉

[Tractorman810]

tidy work john, have always wanted a ransomes cavalier, a local to us neighbour had one for a few years, was pretty striking given all the red and yellow i was used to seeing, got all the stuff ready, just never got round to it .

[JEP]

Master pieces John!

Stunning work, the detail you put in gets better and better.

Been waiting to see these finished, and they certainly don't disappoint!!

 

 

[Anderson Agri]

I've already given my views on Facebook, but nice to see you back on here. Fantastic craftsmanship turned out so well, was only ever one man for the challenge on them! 

[alf aphid]

Absolutely incredible, beautiful pieces

you deserve a beer!
