Re: My hand built scale model collection

top Job ! will you build some to sell ??? It sounds interesting, but I'm sorry, I'm not planning to build new models now because I have no more aluminum sheets, which I used to built my models. The problem is that this material was part (packaging I think) of a solar water heater, so It's difficult...

Trailer looks good :t...

Re: JCB 3cx Modification

What I like about it is I can quickly get something made up that's abit unique. And hopefully do it for less than the model would be to buy brand new anyway.

JCB 3cx Modification

Unfortunatly or fortunately I stumbled across a fellow called brian blackman on ebay a while back... After chopping up my joal yanmar B37 and fitting an extendahoe and his buckets I set about trying to make britains Jcb 3cx somewhat better.
