traditional Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I had no idea where this should go, forum-wize, so here it is. Its a tiny model (1/20 scale) but exceptionally well molded and only seems available from Japan at this time. It's not expected to be painted but looks a bit plasticy as such. I painted everything so it'd look more realistic and also painted the model of the Japanese girl using the tiller (I dont usually add figures to my models). I used Alclad over gloss black for the simulated plated parts, and automotive basecoat/clearcoat for the rest. It was all a fairly quick and enjoyable build.

Foxer Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I'm not sure what to say, but a beautiful build of an 'unusual' subject! Now, I can't wait to see what custom versions come of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Very interesting build. Even in 1/20 I would imagine some very small parts. I have an older Honda tiller 1:1, it is a center-time model and is not wheel driven, but it will sling some dirt in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 "And now for something completely different". Very fine modeling as always. I'm surprised no-one has yet suggested putting a hemi in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeakDoc Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 That is just flat-out cool. Now, if Round 2 would just cast the old auger-style wood splitter and a reproduction of my granddad’s old Case-Ingersol riding mower I’d be all in.

Could be that it's been ordered thru some of the Japanese mailorder websides, in that case I'd be interested which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertw Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 This makes me a little sad. Japan appears to bee a big enough market that they can make and sell models of garden equipment yet here in North America there are apparently so few modellers that many hobby shops can't make a go of it and one of the last surviving companies who started the hobby some 50+ years ago (Revell/Monogram) sold for peanuts and left the continent.
