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.

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. So far I've got a working extendahoe, which I'm not totally...
