Title: A simple Local early tractor field show display
Post by: tiking 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.

Before weathering & diorama:

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. ;)

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.
