Thanks for all your comments. I have being doing a little bit more and thought I was doing alright but the camera never lies!
I made the grain chutes from the lid of a margarine tub and a bit of tubing (for the bottom of the chutes), then bent some 0.5mm pins to form the sack hooks at either side of the chutes but they don`t show up well.
I made some wheel scotches and a bit of packing, then made a batten door. Old doors were used for both leveling the back wheels and for the sacks to stand on at the chute end. These bits need further painting.
I also made the name plate and some hinges - cat food tray - then stuck them on. Def a deficiancy in the old eyesight department!

And a picture of the "deck" with baler belt coiled up. The drop-down deck flooring no longer does what it says on the can. During the other work (above) when I had the baler stood on end, it decided to fall over. Gluing the hinges back in position really worked - they are glued in the (transport) position below. Doh!
More later when despondancy evaporates. Going to glare at the telly as it`s a miserable day here.

Well, I had another go at the back end .....
And the rest are just posed shots (with the background painted ot in some cases) ,,,,,
The thrasher is more or less finished and everything will be folded up as for transport mode. I`ll then make and fit a tarpaulin.
After that I`ll attempt to replicate a baler - but don`t hold your breath (domestic chores will intervene)
In my case it will be keeping up with Jones`s!
