sparrow legs Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yes probably a 3140 at a guess with new stickers. bit more than new stickers, its a 4 cylinder so graeme has shortened the engine length by a few mm (was 6 cylinder) and added a 2wd axle and the valtra loader along with tons of detail. yes it started as an ertle 3350/3140 but is very much modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON. Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yes probably a 3140 at a guess with new stickers. Not being funny Will but i think your doing Greame a great injustice by your comments a great deal more work goes into his conversion's than just changing the decals etc . I have two of his models now 2850 & 4055 and you will not find any better detail models than these ,if you do let me see them . Like i said at the start Will not being funny but you should look at things a bit more first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said at the start Will not being funny but you should look at things a bit more first Yes as I have tried to explain I was trying to explain to 1972 farmer of what they are based on. I said the bit about stickers to avoid any confussion by anyone on wether that was a general release or not. I agree with you, he makes superb models and I couldn't say anything bad about them, or him as he helped me a lot lately, So I'm very sorry if it may have sounded like that, so I'm sorry for the confusion. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Phew... Peace and Harmony lads... I think young will meant no disrespect by his comments.. he was merely trying to answer Steves question... I know for a fact Will has a great deal of respect for Greame's model making skills, as indeed we all have one here... Furthermore he very next post made that clear.... lets keep things in perspective... And nice model Mike... I bet she has pride of place on your shelf - There is nothing like that feeling of a new tractor is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'm big enough to admit when i'm in the wrong .The best Thanks Marky for calming the situation and Simon, its no problem as I can see how that post may have been read and it wasn't intended like that so sorry, as I think that Graemes models are out of this world and when I can afford one, I think I'll be sending him some money.
