AgriumArtwork Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 It’s been a few years away but after the show I’ve just done at Spalding, I’ve scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. Agrium Models and all that was, has gone, as most know some of it is under the guise of Modelfarmer All good. Ihave my drawings website which has now morphed into merchandise, covering products like clothing, drink ware and phone cases and that’s good too. at this stage I’m energised to start making some scratch built stuff. At this stage I’m not thinking full on, taking orders etc, but in my time away from modelling I have become fairly proficient in 3d modelling for Farm Sim, so I’m currently making my own 3d models in Blender with a view to get a 3d printer and start to make some bits and bobs, mixed in with restocking my plastic are and brass stock. you’ll hear from me from time to time asking questions and you may see a bit more of me at the shows and I’m sure I’ll have batches of things for sale ill comment and contribute as much as time allows but I have a full time job and family and my own business so it’s pretty full on cheers Ian 7 Quote

I know, long time, great to see so many people still enjoying the 1:32. Since I left I see you can no longer afford to pull models apart 😳😱💰💰💰 Edited April 21, 2023 by AgriumArtwork 1 Quote
Jack390 Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Hi there, I think I have one of your designs in my collection (Harry west dual spreader) cracking model. Look forward to seeing what builds you do.👍 Quote
AgriumArtwork Posted April 21, 2023 Author Posted April 21, 2023 Hi Jack, Yes that's right. Thanks for the feedback. I have remodelled the West in 3D. I did it for FS17 a few years ago, but never released it, just did it for myself. I'm tweaking to see how best to produce it and whether I can 3D print parts of it. I think the best results for any model will be a mixture of Plasticard, Brass and 3D Resin Print. Maybe with some Aluminium CNC, but not sure about costings. Im not doing it with a full release in mind. Its more to feed my habit of designing and making stuff. I don't think I will return to the days of thinking I was going to go full production and take over the world. I don't want too. 4 Quote
Tractorman810 Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 hi ian,great to see you back,been following your art on faceslap, but the other half wouldnt appreciate it on our walls😂😂😂😂 Quote
AgriumArtwork Posted April 21, 2023 Author Posted April 21, 2023 Hey Sean. Thanks for the message. Yes I know what you mean. Im sure there is downstairs toilets all over the uk with tractors on the wall🤣 I might have to make a 1:32 reference t-shirt. I’ll get thinking Im sure I’ll be in touch once I buy a 3d printer with you and Joe. It’s great you post updates and everyone can learn. I suspect I have lots of frustration and rewarding times ahead. 1 1 Quote
