This is the third in the series of early Lanz tractors I've made. Detail is great, very good kits except the assembly sequence instruction could do with some work! Like the thought of specific historical activity around the Miniart Lanz tractors. Also heres a couple of pics of all 3 Lanz tractors I've made and a Miniart 1/32 wagon and accessories I finished recently. As always any feedback, positive and negative really appreciated

Well, since you asked.....

Actually, those group shots are pretty cool, they all look great together!  😎 😎  I love that wooden cart too.

- Comment: I would tone-down that clean & shiny look  on that black top on the blue tractor.... unless it's supposed to look like that. It just looks too clean  to me.

- Q: Why didn't you paint the wheels orange-ish-brown  (as shown on the box art) on the blue tractor?

I'm very impressed with your work here Geoff. Love the signs of use and the detail that you put into each piece. I too find the wooden cart very appealing.

thanks Chris, I agree the top is too shiny, theres a matt black available over here that I cant get at the moment. which would help, but yes regardless, I was still trying to think of ways to 'grubby it up'? Would love to have painted the wheels, however they come as one piece, ie not separate tyres, so trying to paint the circle centre piece, as a circle, is beyond me at the moment. I fiddled a bit with masking but again could not cut the perfect circle. My other option was to do it anyway and then just try and cover imperfections with mud.

Sincerely appreciate your constructive comments.
