Project Information

There is also a video and plans for this tractor.

A time ago I have made two same tractors as this one, but after made a building pattern, with help from Ducky for the SU 3D drawings, I would check it on mistakes, and that's why I build this third one.

The wood I used is Ash, Cherry, Oak, Wenge, Imbuia and Beech. The model is about 30 cm (12") long

If you are interested to build your own look here

I have made a blog of the building with a lot of picutes.

Below some more detail pictures, but first one of the real tractor.




















Thanks for watching and all comments much appreciated.

Wow! What a beautiful tractor model. It's one of the nicest miniature tractors that I have seen. It displays a lot of nice realistic details and superb craftsmanship.

Fantastic job! You are an inspiration to current model builders and wanabe's. It serves to make us want to improve as we go along. My models are fairly well detailed, but after seeing yours, I can see where improvements can be made on mine. Nothing like some healthy competition.

very nice work. Top of the line. Enjoyed seeing how you made the tires, I I get time this winter will do a tractor, One of the Massey 44 that I restored this spring. I will not be as detailed as yours though.

Super model Jan. We don't see these around here any longer except in parades or museums. I don't know much about tractors, but there are so many on the road around here that I should.
