I have been working on some farm equipment lately. Been little over a month since I started this project and it is finally coming to a close. This morning, as my back does not allow me to sleep late anymore, I got up early and went into my shop. I shook a few paint bottles and sat down to add some detail paint to the last of my farm equipment. Here is a sample of what I have been painting! That is the Tractor and Hay Bailer. I didn't get to weather the hay stack yet, but it is coming! Now for the next posting!
Next! This is the other part of the Farm Equipment I have been finishing! And there you have it! My most recent projects on the Farm. For those that have requested these items, they are almost finished. I will be contacting you soon! Have a great day! Hobo Tim
Tim, Great job! These all go well with the farm structures from Nansen Street Models! Great addition, keep up the great work! John
I like it Tim. I could use a hay bailer myself. I want to bale a field like I used to see here when I was a kid. They would make a bale about every 20 feet or so and spit it out on the ground. Often I would see the bales still a week later so me and my buddies would bring a cerial box or a grocery bag and collect mice from under the bales. One time I took a bag with about 100 mice in it home to scare my mom, and let them all go on the patio deck, then shouted "Mom" "Look" and she came running then freaked out! It was a glorious moment that I paid for dearly when my dad got home. The family still owns that house as a rental, and after my divorce 10 years ago, I had to live there while saving to buy another house, and it was still infested with mice. The whole neighborhood is infested, and you cannot get rid of the mice for more than a month, no matter what you do. Also there is a colony of feral cats that live in several of the backyards there. All my fault, I created a micro-ecology thing in the old neighborhood that has stood for more than 30 years now, with the help of the Hay Baler and a week of letting the bales sit on the ground!
Is this why you turned out to be a Cat lover as well, Robert? Dealing with the mice at my Mom's house right now. They are getting very bold. I would lend her our cats, but she is allergic. I worked in a summer camp in my youth where we had to keep our TP in tin cans so the mice wouldn't get it for their nests. Randy
I wan't some, A grain pickup on the combine would be nice for us Midwestern people. Are the tracror and bailer still availiable?
