Gav836 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 After attending the LAMMA show today and speaking to the nice chaps at Opico on their stand i now have permission to make any of their machines with a view to them listing the models in their price booklets. Was wondering if you lot out here think, would you be interested in buying models of their machines. Take a look on their website below and post suggestions of what machines of their range would be of interest to you in 1/32, quite a step for me this early on so i need some thoughts and feed back on it http://www.opico.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 set of these for the smaller farmer to i recon, would look good on my 390 anyway http://www.opico.co.uk/agmac/cultivation/disc-m.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Opico guys themselves have asked me to build a model of their sub soiler, would this be of any interest to you boys as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbelluk Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've got an Opico six metre grass harrows with an air seeder on (the one with 8 outlets rather than 16). If you made that i'd be fairly near the front of the queue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 was just looking at the 5 leg subsoiler with crumbler on, that would be a nice bit of kit to i recon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Gav, the ones Sean picked are good starters http://www.opico.co.uk/agmac/cultivation/disc_giant.htm http://www.opico.co.uk/agmac/cultivation/disc-m.htm http://www.opico.co.uk/agmac/grain-dryers/batch/magna.htm (gotta be handy ;D!!) http://www.opico.co.uk/agmac/cultivation/soiler_tilth.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you made that i'd be fairly near the front of the queue! That one is a definate on the to do list now. Is your harrow a parallel folding (stacking) one or vertically folding out of interest? was just looking at the 5 leg subsoiler with crumbler on, that would be a nice bit of kit to i recon They were saying that that model is their best seller so are very keen for a model so watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'd imagine the grain dryers would be a simple enough model to make, and there are lots of dioramas under construction at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 i have to say it would be nice to see the vari disk quad(second link i posted ) set or subsoiler, instead of all this big cultivation stuff, would suite my layout a treat,not that theres anything wrong with the big kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 First of all Gav, well done mate. After Ian had some nice help from West it is nice to know other manufacturers look out for the little guy, not just in machinery sales but in people replicating there machinery for hobbyist's. Great stuff. On the model front mate, do what they ask of you first, then do as you see fit in terms of sales. You have asked plenty of questions on what the forum thinks and everyone has replied with constructive comments, take them on board then narrow the suggestions down to the easier/quicker ones while researching the more technical ones. Then once the easy ones are just a case of churning them out, the harder ones should be clearer in your head for the best way to go about making them. Well done again Gav.
