This is my attempt so far at the new holland **05 forager kit. It's going to be a 1905 when it's finished. I will be adding extra detail over the standard kit as I go. 

Where did you get the kit from Martin?

Finishing off what remains of the biscuit tin by the looks of it..... Leave some for us:P

 

On a serious note that looks shorter than the average Deere... 1020 or similar?

well after a bit of pondering the 8630 is all back in its box and safely stored, repairs are not visable and are pretty strong ,and seeing as there doesnt seem to be many of these arround for sale now it seems a shame to convert it , will have to trycand locate a unboxed one at zwolle for the conversion i think

The one I have came with the tyres on the wrong way round and a couple of work lights missing but it was cheap so I'm not bothered by that.

You beat me to it, ha ha I was bidding on that on eBay as well. Good to see it all fixed up like new.

For a new diorama project I have planned I needed a new stencil to use with the Bromley Crafts realistic brick compound that was alittle less repetitive. A sheet of 190 micron Mylar and about 4 hours of cutting with an X-acto blade and a new stencil was born. Gave it a test and its come out as well as I'd hope. Stencil didn't stick to well to the card hence the blobbed up bricks but that shouldn't be an issue on the final material

Yes auite pleased with the variation of levels, should be able to even it out abit do its alittle less sharp on the next go. Its just the bricks where there should be a gap and the mix has got under the stencil thats alittle annoying

try fixing it with a spray of photo mount next time, on the back of the stencil,  not  the card, then roll it with a old rolling pin, the spray should hold it done, but not stick it down for life . if you spray the card you may get issues with paint not sticking or even the filler your using

A repositionable adhesive spray is applied to the back of the stencil. Its just the roughness of the cardboard that's meant it hasn't stuck, the walls I have planned will be painted MDF which should be much better for the stencil to adhere to and thus stop the problem.

Having everything working as it should is great but sometimes you have to compromise the looks or detail to achieve that, it depends on what you want from the model of course. However you do it I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.
