Excellent Stuart the tractor is brilliant but for me the farm house is a winner I know how much work goes into these miniart builds

Thank you Colin for your very kind feedback it's nice to hear.
I must say that the miniart kits are a challenge,I find them hard to join up nicely but rewarding if they come out ok

Thank you Polux I really appreciate your kind comments

Thanks Stuart.
My question is: is this tractor a kit? Where I can find one?
Thanks

Sorry Polux I found it in my attic while looking through some stuff and it looked perfect size
It is plastic and die cast so i guess the answer is no it's not a kit you can buy.
I know it's a bit of a cheat but I could only found one on eBay and it was £65 in resin and thought it was a bit much as an add on feature.
I would love to find kits like it but you can't get them.
I did do all the weathering though but I didn't put it together so can't take the credit for that
I should of said at the start when I posted pics sorry to miss lead anybody

I have built a few MiniArt building and I am a big fan of the. However, I have never even got close to this. The attention to detail is superb as is the story telling. Love it to bits.

 

[Guest]

I'm agree with Graham on that, your attention to detail is great, and it's turning the model at live
