Your certainly right there Phil, I think the brand Yatming comes to mind. As far as I'm aware I've only missed one type, a 1927(?) Studebaker they wanted too much for to warrant spraying it with dirt etc. The other one most likely to be found is the "Brassy" T model Ford of 1913. I have that too in its available forms along with two that I got to, Shall cover those next perhaps. I think you are correct about the Bruder being 1/16th scale, I realized when building the Thornycroft that I built it unthinkingly to 1/19th. scale, and the Fordson F is 1/16th. scale and should be much smaller as they were a tiny tractor in real life.

Rather you than me.

Well, when I was VERY small I did indeed have very curly (and very blonde) hair, which then went darker and darker and straighter and straighter before disappearing!

More please.
They came with the models Rik, and you've reminded me that the ones on the tourer weren't glued on and are sitting on the bench.
Sounds easy... bet it isn't!!LNR wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 6:51 am Thank you Dave.
For the tyres, just a matter of measuring wheel circumference, add a smidgen (Blacksmithing term) then cut steel strip and beat into a circle on redgum block (I don't have bending rolls) and silver solder the ends together. Beat it again over steel round, check size (hopefully only having to subtract not add) then press on. I run them on concrete vigorously to give a nice matt steel look.
