Hi Leif, I Iike the bulldogs since I'm child. And when I saw this kit the first time it was clear that I need to buy it. And now I have an actual reason to build it. My neighbors 80s birthday. He was a farmer all his life and is it still. This will be my present for him.

Really a lovely diorama, well done

Sehr erfrischend. Klasse gebaut und in Szene gesetzt. Der Gesichtsausdruck der Figur ist genial getroffen. Hut ab!!!

Album info
Little update on the Zetor.
02.03.15 - Today I made the driver seat. Or should I say farmer seat?
However, 22 PE and 2 resin parts needed to be glued together. You can see thee result in the following pictures.
03.03.15 - Today I made the headlights and filled some bubble holes on the bonnet.
Left and right mudguard have been wired. Rear light on the left mudguard also.
05.03.15 - I started to prepare the rear wheels. I tried to give them a good used look. Therefor I rolled the wheels along the blade of a saw. To see the result I sprayed one of the wheels with primer.
09.03.15 - I made a little pin for the tow-bar. Left mudguard is mounted. Wiring also. I also did some wiring on the motor.
Thanks for looking and have fun!
