Thanks mate, funnily enough I was just looking at that first picture in a book this morning, I think I need a yellow one now with a goose neck trailer to keep it company🤣

I have the hymac, I just need the county and dump trailer now 🤣😉😉

I remember (just!) being on my way to school along Albert Street and seeing the sparkly new lime green rigid FC dumper being driven out of what I believe was the design shop behind the original offices in Upper Street.

Another County on the go, this time a little Duncan cabbed 754

The amount of detail in this little screen grab speaks volumes to me, I could never even cut a straight line in Plasticard never mind making door handles ang hinges, I could knock that up in CAD, but it would be far to fine for my printer to print, hat's off to you John.

Regards

Joe

Thank you Joe, I really appreciate that. I’ve said before that I’m my own worst enemy as if there’s detail there I like to try and incorporate it into a model, even though most of the time the only person that sees it is me! I do know I’d be lost now without my glasses and my tweezers mind😂

[James Joe Dewar]

Ah yes, the ravages of old age, I can sympathise on that, I have those problems myself edgeing close to my 70th year, I was wanting to comment on the incredible texture you achieved on your big bales, but could not find the picture I saw the other week so couldn't comment, ( in case it wasn't actually you ), 

Regards

Joe.

I’m a good way behind you Joe, but it definitely feels like everything is heading the wrong way now🙈 I did put some pictures with bales up recently, not sure if these were what you were thinking of

[844john]

Definitely hill farm spec this 754 and Marshall spreader!

That's the one John, I just could not remember where you had put it, That seam down the middle and all the loose ends sticking out just looks so real, a very difficult effect to replicate I would imagen,

Thanks Joe, I can’t take credit for those mind as I used James’s method for making them👍

What was the method John? The bales look very realistic

[justy 46]

You don't be long John getting them to the finishing touches... 😂 Fab builds again..

It’s basically replicating how a real baler works Paul by making a chamber out of wood and a plunger to pack the sisal as you feed it in. I don’t know how to do links, but I’m sure if you do a search it should come up as James did a detailed topic on it👍
