Deere-est Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'd swear but it will be blocked by the filter. What a jolly nice model, a spiffing piece of work. It looks absoloutly delightful. . . . I said all that with jazz hands for extra affect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the day off to paint the latest toy I'm working on... although this one won't fit on the workbench! /m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 just out of interest , approximately how heavy are the scratchbuilt models & how sturdy are they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 As said above really... simply.. completely and utterly... without doubt... no question.... bloody brilliant... See you've made me swear What a stunning piece of work... whatever you do for a living... give it up and do this full time Malcy_p ... unless of course you work as a hair trimmer for the ladies of the royal ballet \ - in that case... do it at weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 just out of interest , approximately how heavy are the scratchbuilt models & how sturdy are they ? Just weighed the Senny and Dom 105 - 300g and 444g respectively. Apart from the 'sticky out' bits which by their very nature are fragile I'd say they were pretty tough. In fact, whilst measuring the Senny (I was standing up but I don't know why I was!) in order to make the decals I dropped her. My heart sank, and Dani looked on aghast... However, the header bounced in one direction and the combine in the other. Apart from bending a row of tines on the reel nothing broke or fell off - but I wouldn't elect to repeat the procedure to see what happens this time! Looking at it another way - on a par with the UH Matador or Europa I'd say. Why you ask?? /m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 oh s*it i would be gutted if i dropped it but lucky she is ok \ ;) so pretty sturdy and a fair weight aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why you ask?? /m. only ask because JC built a ploeger pea harvester a while back & it was resin cast with plastic parts & was surprised when i lifted it just how light it was , but yours look like bulk but no volume , so just interested i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
