It would certainly make a good restoration project for someone, not me though as pointed out by Mrs. W.

Whilst out and about with Mrs. Woody the other day we came across this parked in a farm yard.

Abandoned tractor,

I am no expert on vintage plant but I am guessing 1950s for this tracked tractor which still looks solid despite seemingly living outside with no cover. It would certainly make a good restoration project for someone, not me though as pointed out by Mrs. W.

Back in the Man Cave at WMD its still been too cold to get the airbrush out so I have added the last of the engine block parts which required the radiator to be temporarily added so that placement of the parts on the engine block matched those on the radiator. Not an easy task but a couple of blobs of Blu Tack assisted in the temporary attachment of said radiator.

The reason I cannot add the radiator permanently at the moment is that I need to leave the parts with the various fan belts and fan itself separate as it will make painting these parts a lot easier.

In the meantime I have also started putting together other parts of the build where two parts are joined and will need smoothing of the joints such as the fuel tanks.

Hopefully I can get painting soon as the weather forecast says storms but warmer than the last ones!
