    I do hope the man behind the curtain will allow this. It is a Farmall F-20. I mentioned on the model thread last week I was headed to an international model show next week and promised to shoot pics of some hamb friendly entries. This one just came in and will be entered in this competition. Since many of you guys scratchbuild some real street rods now and then I thought you might like to see this. I do not know what scale it is but some fine work for sure. It is completely scratchbuilt, not a kit.

  8. WOW- that is a fantastic scratch-built model!

    Dad grew up on a farm in West Chester, PA in the 30's-40's and they had an F12- can't wait to show him these pics. Any info on the builder, or what scale it is?
     
  9. Fantastic, I agree with the weathering, perfect! Thanks for this posting.

    Bug,
    Is that by any chance a Chuck Doan model? It's very, very nice. Thanx for the pix. Gary

    This same guy built a large scale German armored vehicle back in 1992 . I was a judge in that category so got to really get close and study it. It had one model figure( soldier) in the inside in his gunners position. If you shown a light in the outside periscope opening it lit up his face. The periscope was real and actually functioned.
    It too was as realistic as this tractor. Glad you all liked it, I will have more Hamb friendly pics when I return.

    I have a load of model pics from our national contest held a few weeks ago in Loveland Colorado. But will not be in town Sunday to post them and after the heads roll next week, not sure they will be allowed here.

    I'll wait and see.
