1/8th scale 1936 John Deere
Jerry Kieffer has built a stunning model of a 1936 John Deere tractor.
There are several excellent pictures and even a movie clip. Well worth a look: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Kieffer1.htm Even the coffee can his gradfather used to keep rain out of the exhaust is accurately reproduced. -- RoRo |

That is really great work, not as technically sophisticated a subject, but still has to rank up there with my other two favourites http://www.modelenginenews.org/galle...gle/index.html http://www2.mgcars.org.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?runprog=mgbbs&exiturl=http://www.modelenginenews.org/gallery/croft/eagle/index.html and http://youtube.com/watch?v=cb61iLfQ1eM http://www2.mgcars.org.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?runprog=mgbbs&exiturl=http://youtube.com/watch%3Fv=cb61iLfQ1eM |

1/8th scale 1936 John Deere
A few weeks back I pulled up to a stop sign and had to wait for an
18-wheeler lowboy to get by. As it passed I noticed its "load". It had a toy John Deere tractor strapped dead center of the lowboy with about a 4" wide strap. The tractor must have been about 8-10" long! I guess he didn't want to be accused of towing that long trailer empty. :-) Al ======= Robert Roland wrote: Jerry Kieffer has built a stunning model of a 1936 John Deere tractor.

Usually a bright yellow Tonka dump truck, though this morning coming over the Grapevine, I did see one with a shiney yellow Tonka dozer very neatly strapped down with small straps. Cool stuff.

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group, they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the competing factions of Islamic fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core, and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr |
