A simple Local early tractor field show display
« on: April 24, 2025, 04:31:18 PM »
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.

Awesome work, again, Charles!  :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza:

Are you sure you don't tweak photo's of real things to make them look a tiny bit like models?  ???  ;)

If that was a hobby, I probably would. ;)

They are awesome, and your photography really brings them to life.  What gets me though are the skinny tires on the  Unimog.

For driving along furrows on fields with crops planted in rows, you see it a lot on tractors & other farm equipment used for vegetable fields & the like.

You'll probably find that the original, civilian, design of the 'Mog had a specific tyre track width for exactly that purpose, too.
