I was given these 6 models at an exhibition, in February of this year.. Five farm tractors and one Unimog vehicle, all 1:32 scale die-cast models, were given to me, as the client puts it; 'Make something outta it, and make it work together'. Check out the 'before' collage photo of all six vehicles and the 'after' photos of the completed commission.


Before weathering & diorama:

After weathering and placed on a simple flat base diorama:

Fantastic work here! All the weathering looks very real as well as the diorama, and the standing water in the ruts is a great touch. Really looks like a group of old tractors sitting in a field.

Thank you. The idea came from several photos and this one below:

Do you have a favourite from this line up of six model tractors Charles?

All of the six models have benefited enormously from your skilled weathering techniques, and for me the best is this one . . .

Thanks. That particular one is a Fe20 Furguson. Very famous and loved by collectors.
