I really must get a better system for taking pictures to do better justice to my models.

That looks very nice indeed Andy

Looks good Andy. Pictures are a little underexposed though due to the white background.

Cheers Tim, I will hunt out something a bit better as background.

That is brilliant andy , theres something about a tractor that we all love , never seen this one before but its a fantastic looking machine , and youve done a superb job of it . I wouldnt like to drive it on a tarmac road though , with those solid wheels it must have been a real boneshaker ! Cheers tony

 

[Steve Jones]

Luv it Andy! Great to see something a little different. Beautiful work all round

 

[Ian M]

Nice little build that.
Did you know that the bulldog could run in tickover with 0 rpm! And while in gear. It just rocks back and forth as the dustbin size piston thumps up and down without going over. Weird to watch.
Anyone wanting to do the road version with tyres, there are literally hundreds of videos on you tube.

Andy. Different and very good, nice definition on the wheel where contact with the ground is made.:thumb2:

Thank you Ian, I do know quite a bit about things with hotbulb engines, there is a collector about 40 miles from me who has all sorts of old stuff.

Hi Andy
I agree with the others - a really nice result.

Looks great Andy. I have this kit, anything to look out for?

Regarding the pics, the light source is behind the model so what we see is in shadow. You might want to try re-positioning the lights to get better exposures- your model is worth it.

Only that great care needs to be taken when removing some parts from the sprue.
