Its still a mystery how you can make stuff out of poster board. Nice job. What did you use for the little wheels on your gator, forkclift, and your Kubota side by side? Tyin to made a lawn mower myself

You've got some skill to be making posterboard tractors and implements look that good.

Thats some nice work you have there. Building out of poster board makes those models unique. Good job I will be watching to see what you build next. Thanks for sharing.

I love that you are making all of these unique pieces! Looks like you've built an entire farm fleet nearly from scratch! Keep building and improving. I think you have potential to be one of the better customizers out there if your building these from posteroard and hot glue.
Keep up the good work

Very nice stuff!! I like seeing different stuff that very few if anybody has tried. If I could offer one piece of advice, and maybe your budget is tight like mine, but I would sample different types of glue. If you found a good super glue that spread on neater, it would greatly improve the detail thats already there.
Keep it up my friend!

Thanks for the comments guys.
ihdriver- For the wheels on the forklift and Kubota RTV, I cut circles out posterboard and then glued a strip of posterboard around the circle. They are basically cylinders, but they do not spin. For the gator, the tires came off some plastic cars that came from a Wal-Mart birthday cake when I was 7 or 8.
ghurley- I have not built any kbh applicators. I have only built DMI, Case IH, and Gleve Corp In Between side dressers.
rysiracusa- I really shoud sample different glues, but I have never liked super glue. I want to use styrene but the closest store that sells it is over an hour away. There are no good hobby stores near me. I fully agree with you about the hot glue being messy looking, but you should have seen my first models if you wanted to see what messy was. I improve everytime I build a model.
I should have around two projects done next week if school and marching band doesn't interfere. I am going to try to start on my display this fall. It will model our farm. I have all of the scenic materials, just need the two 4x8 sheets and some saw horses. Again, thanks for the compliments everyone.

For the 9330 decals, I found a 9330 row crop special steiger on tractorhouse and copied it to paint. I then copied the part I wanted to word.

Nice, like the 9330. Could you build me a 9130? I'm the same as you, I want to model my farm and have been working on it for a while and we just bought a 9130 and I don't know where to get one in 1/64.

Sorry farmer1996, my parents don't really want me selling my customs. I might when I get older. If you want, you could get the ertl 9240 casting to get measurements for a 9130 and build your own. You would have to change some of the looks on it, though. I made my 9330 out of posterboard.
