    Not strictly a figure so I hope I'm not drummed off the forum with a dishonourable discharge but I can't find PlanetFlatTractors.com :D

    It's about 40mm high.

    A link to the real thing, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS01 in German but easily translated with Google for any tractor enthusiasts out there.

    Cheers Gordy, Probably just me at the moment but I am recruiting. Having said that there must have been some interest to engrave and cast 11 flat tractors... and I'm painting all of 'em :D

    They make everything in flats it seems! Is there a wagon to tow or anything like that? A flat farm would be pretty cool actually.

    James, there's no trailers or machinary to go with these ones but there are some very nice farm scenes in 30mm, harvesting etc.

    Carl Reids been known to do the odd tractor, not flats or kit form though.
    The forum maybe worth a post. As they say variety is the spice, and all that.
    Great job by the way,
    Carl.

    For a sec I thought I read "flat tracker" as in flat track racer. I need to put on my reading glasses.

    Thanks Carl. There's an amazing amount of vintage tractor info on the web and the research was easier than on some of the uniforms I've painted in the past.

    One down ten more to go :D

    Thanks ken, the plan was to muddy it up but by the time I'd finished it looked like it had just rolled off the production line or had been polished up for a vintage farm machinary show and I decided I wanted to leave it like that. :)

    One of the others will be based in a field though, suitably dirty.

    Roger I love your work.

    Whatever challenges you undertake just seem to be executed so well. No it's not a figure ( how dare you to be different!!) but it's still a wonderful piece and so well ( as usual) painted.

    Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing more of your work.

    (I crown you the flat champion)

    Roger, whats not to like about tractors.
    I go to Bavaria a lot and at last years annual festival in Partenkirchen there was a parade of more than 100 vintage tractors all pre 1960.
    The great thing is that many of them are still actively working daily.
    Here's a nice one from the dozens of photos I took. Check out the wheels.
    Cheers
