HOUSTON Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hewy, OMG... that is simply SUPERB and IMPRESSIVE to look at. Very Nicely Weathered and depicts the Z real thing most perfectly. MY old police Sergeant collects 1:1 scale tractors and keeps them in his huge converted hangar like shed; and if he saw your build he'd be AMAZED by it as I am.. KUDOS.

Little Andi Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Brilliant job Glynn - don't know why you were asking me about weathering and stuff you've made a superb job of this - I'm thinking about asking you how you did yours?? ... Well done chap - Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Absolutely brilliant Glynn. You've made an excellent job of both the tractor and scratch building the plough. The need to build one is definitely growing on me. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Thanks mark,build away, little bit of a problem with the plough though, after scaling a building for a diorama it becomes blindingly obvious of a,shall we say,scalling hitch, its more like 1/35 than 1/24 ,not even trumpeter would get away with it ,ah well, maybe a trailer I've got 1/24 vw wheels in the bits bin,I'll scale it this time as the mk1 eye ball seems to be out somewhere.

My mate eventually burned the whole place down by accident ( seemingly ) he got into a ton of trouble for it too.

Whofan Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Great to see such a different vehicle being modelled, and the scratched plough takes it a higher level. I saw one of these vintage Ferguson's at an agricultural show last August, it looks just like your model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Andi Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Absolutely smashing, the plough really gives the tractor purpose and completes the scene nicely. All in all an excellent example of dioramic narrative - Well done that man. ps ... Did/do you have a dedicated source for the plough details and dimensions? - or have you just mackled the information together piecemeal? Strangely, I have an interest in farming equipment (especially period stuff) and yet little or no interest in farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few examples on the interweb with minor differences and there are some decent pictures and diagrams,and exploded view drawings but alas i couldnt find any technical data ,so it was the eye ball again I'm afraid andi.thanks Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
