discussion Forgotten Fergie

[yak face]

Its been a while now but Ive been quietly gathering bits for this very personal build . In the style of our great mate Ron I intend to totally knacker this poor little grey Fergie and build a barn/ outbuilding to put it in , surrounded by all sorts of detritus . To this end ive got me a cheap die cast 1/43 ferguson T20 and a heap of stuff ( btw , the stuff in the bag isnt wacky baccy , its Dock flowers )
Ive yet to figure out how I’m going to do it but in the style of the great man himself I’ll just make it up as I go along .

Nice one Tony, this would have been right up Ron's street. Is the Ferguson a build from the past or a die cast?

Looking forward to this one Tony. Will you be weathering the Fergie up?

Great idea Tony, I really need to think about a build myself.

Now got me thinking, maybe something to rekindle the modelling. Ron was a good friend, esp as an ex-wood butcher.

Just ordered a 1/24 Heller Fergie from E bay.

Wacky-baccie, bits of corrugated card, a Tunnock wrapper, some coffee stirrers and no idea where this is going. Now that's definitely go Ron written all over it.

A start has been made. Plastic good and clean. Only problems so far are some very thin tie bars and the YouTube guy I'm following building the same model had exactly the same problem. They snap.



Going well up to this point----- I tried to be extra careful, as the guy said it's a problem. How right he is, regardless of how you fit the drive dshart and the tie bar at the same time it causes it to snap. Will reglue either with TET or CA.

No base with this kit, he had a base on his, so gives plenty of ideas.

John.
