Deere-est Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Ah right, 10 4. I found some RSJ's, purlings and guttering in a railway shop in Salisbury. Have some balser wood from a never completed RC boat. Gonna use than to get the strength and for concrete side panels then cover the roof with said corrugated car/paper. Thanks guys. Don't expect any pics of this too soon though. . . . I am bugger for getting things done!! Tris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 If you know what you are looking for, you'll find 4D a lot cheaper to buy from than any modelshop... I save about 30 to 40% on what I used to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be buying all mine from them while ever I am buying in quantity unless I find somewhere cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 A couple of years ago I found the website of a French outfit that did Braud and Clayson/New Holland combines in 1:32 for sensible money. I haven't been able to find it ever since. Has anyone ever come across it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Did he have a selection SPN?? If so, i've seen the site.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 There was a range of Brauds and, IIRC, a couple of Claysons. I have a vague recollection of a prototype Claas. I sent the addy of the website to an occasional visitor to this site at the time with a view to him taking on the agency, but the hard drive of the laptop I was using at the time died so I can't access it at the moment. I've tried to Google my way back on a couple of occasions, but no success so far. I want an M103 or an M122 this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
