Thoughts and posing for a diorama.
MMM .......... not sure, more thought needed.

The plough and figures are from SD models in 1/32 scale. I may also add an army officer offering advice.
The caption could be "Tha's teckan me hoss, given me a tractor and now Tha sez I need a new plough."

Who is 'Tha'

Is he or she a mystical being, or the local government improvement officer?

Love the humorous caption, especially living in the rural Wolds, it really raised a smile with me. Need to talk to you about those SD figures when I see you if possible.

See you Sunday - chat then.
They look quite nice for white metal, you can only really tell when you paint them.

Well ploughing on I thought I would make another tractor, this is the Fordson F, from Ford of course, well Henry Ford that is, he could not use the name Ford for his tractor as someone else used it.
This was again imported from the USA.
I started with the radiator.

1/32 seems to be the scale of the moment.

I await the arrival of some Tamiya textured paint and am busy painting figures.

Back to posing, a bit more progress on the diorama - maybe too posh a word for this.

Fence built from scraps of wood, balsa etc. Stained and now need dry brushing and weathering as do the figures and plough. The tractor wheels also look a bit clean. This will be left to dry and then on with the weathering and so on.
