 Topic: 1/16th AC Models
Posted: 29 Nov 2020 at 9:57am |
Well, it's been a while since I bored you guys with model pictures. I built five models this summer when I wasn't fishing. I built a 4W-220 and a 3pt seven shank ripper for it, a 390 Hay Conditioner, a 56-F forage harvester, and a model of the old 6ft swather. These three implements work when the PTO it turned so that idea added a lot of time to each model. The swather goes into the paint booth today and the conditioner still needs some detail added. I plan to build implements this winter, and a 8550 next summer so I have one of each of the 4wd's in my collection. Here are a couple photos (if I remember how to post them).
Hope some of you find your way to Phoenix/Mesa this winter and stop in for a visit.

That 56F is great. My grandfather had a brand new one. I have owned two but sold them both before using them. Tom

I know I can't tell you what to build, but one I think would be great is a P80 Gleaner.

Amazing work. Need to come to AZ for a return visit but not this winter. Border still closed so will be staying close to home work on full scale models.

Armand, Just wonderful! I cant get enough of these scale model builds. Do you have progress pictures that you can share too? I am sure folks would love to see the work in progress and how you use materials to craft these mini machines! Regards, Chris

Exceptional! Do you remember the first model you built, and the year? And where do ;you fish and what fish are you catching? I enjoy fishing for coho in Lake MI or walleye in Lake Erie whenever we visit our son in Indiana. He is serious. I drive the boat. Herb(GA)

Herb, the first model I built was the WC speedpatrol in 1998. I still have it on the shelf and it was pretty crud. I think I am at about 105 models to date. Some didn't take too long, and some, like the 100 combine took me over 400 hours!! We live in Mesa in the winter but have a park model trailer and my boat in Show Low AZ which is in the White Mountains about 160 miles NE of Mesa and an elevation of 6400 feet. High temps there are 90 while it is 117 here in Mesa. We typically fish for rainbow and cutthroat trout. A small lake right in Showlow has walleye so we work on them at times. Normally fish Big Lake which is at 9800 feet elevation and 6o miles east of Showlow.

Did someone mention you have a website.
I was going to say it would be a good knowledgebase thread to put all yours in one spot for everyone to enjoy.
