Not strictly a figure so I hope I'm not drummed off the forum with a dishonourable discharge but I can't find PlanetFlatTractors.com :D

It's about 40mm high.

A link to the real thing, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS01 in German but easily translated with Google for any tractor enthusiasts out there.

They make everything in flats it seems! Is there a wagon to tow or anything like that? A flat farm would be pretty cool actually.
 
Carl Reids been known to do the odd tractor, not flats or kit form though.
The forum maybe worth a post. As they say variety is the spice, and all that.
Great job by the way,
Carl.
 
Hi Roger, nice painting although IMHO;) I think it needs weathering.. Wheres the mud.:)
Looking forward to the other 10.
Cheers Ken
 
Thanks ken, the plan was to muddy it up but by the time I'd finished it looked like it had just rolled off the production line or had been polished up for a vintage farm machinary show and I decided I wanted to leave it like that. :)

One of the others will be based in a field though, suitably dirty.

Roger.
 
Roger I love your work.

Whatever challenges you undertake just seem to be executed so well. No it's not a figure ( how dare you to be different!!) but it's still a wonderful piece and so well ( as usual) painted.

Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing more of your work.

(I crown you the flat champion)
 
Roger, whats not to like about tractors.
I go to Bavaria a lot and at last years annual festival in Partenkirchen there was a parade of more than 100 vintage tractors all pre 1960.
The great thing is that many of them are still actively working daily.
Here's a nice one from the dozens of photos I took. Check out the wheels.
Cheers
Derek
