point to pointing


Yesterday we went out to watch the spectacular point to point.I've been looking forward more than christmas.The new forests point to point is one of the only ones that do it out in the wild.Its amazing the way the horses gallop over the heather at tremendous speeds. We were listening to people who said that the last hill is so strenuous that they found  it hard for their horses to go up.There is different age categories ranging from the veterans race which only the experienced commoners can take part in and the novice race for the people learning to ride.4 of the  agisters were there because its time off the them.Unfortunately one of them has to be ready for call out.The course had to be moved from shaterford to the other side of the road.This picture is me with one of the agisters land  rovers in the field.

My litttle pony


This is one of my birthday presents, which I have made into a show jumping scene. It's a Piebald pony which I was given by mum and dad,  and I also got a dark bay shire horse.I was also given some modeling clay which I made into horse jumps.The car in the back ground Is my Range Rover and the Ivor Williams cattle trailer. I had a really good birthday and received over £110,which I am saving.

Drysdale Freight


This is my new model from the extremely kind people from Drysdale Freight in Scotland. This model is a high detailed model which looks like the real thing.People who have seen it have all liked it. Especially Patric down the road who also loves trucks.
I've decided it can be used on a weekly basis to take the milk bottles away from my milking parlour [even though it doesn't have back doors that open.]
Before I sent the pictures off I had a dream,There was a Drysdale depot at the end off Shore road.
I've just finished my thank you to the team which had a greenvale trailer with the writting on top of it.

Low Loader


In the last few days I have been making this Lego model that is made out of previous kits I've received from various people.

I made it by adding another set of wheels to my heavy haulage truck. It is a mini sized replica of the Scania R680 in one of my magazines [Trucking] the truck tackles the challenge of carrying a 80 tonne Hitachi excavator from Cornwall to central London.

This is one of my biggest Lego models. The load on this occasion is a digger, one of my other models. Its also carried a crusher a loading ramp and a van. it measures roughly 1 1/2 meters.
