Good job Erick. Combine trailer looks a little bit low. Maybe it's just me tho. Who's it going to? A fellow board member?
Keep it up.
What's next?

Dallas I think you are right about the trailer height. Touch low. Would have liked the bed to be shorter as well. First time doing this and there were many unknowns. Luckily the recipient is not a toy aficionado and did not seem too picky, just wanted a replica of what they use. What you is see is an exact replica of a custom cutter's truck and trailer. S77 Gleaners will go on the trailers (there are two trailers) and a dumping grain truck and semi cab. |

I was tickled to do the project. Lot fun, lot of work too, but enjoyed it. Hopefully a company will produce silver 1/64 combines and not the A series:) |

Just a local one or does he travel a bit? |

Dallas, It is Gossen Harvesting in Corn OK. They run 9 S77s.
My N6 does not fit over the wheels the best. The new S77s have a feeder house that raises with will help. Not sure if this will set on shelf or what.

Never heard of them. What stops do they have do you know? They stop in Oklahoma of course then head to Ingalls KS, up to Hoxie or Colby (I think) then further up north some where. |
