I don't mean to leave out the large scale people. Just thinking the questions are better aimed at the small scale collector. I do welcome input from everyone. So, here goes: How many of you have gone to the extent of building a diorama or scene, of some sort, for your tractors/equipment? Is it something simple? You might have gone the path I did & stick to the first releases of Ertl's Farm Country Playset, buy a few plastic trees & call it good. Is it elaborate? Did you make your own buildings, fashion your own trees & add a creek? Is there a train on it (always a plus in my book)? I guess the big question is, is there anyone willing to build a few buildings for their trator scene? I ask this because there are a few good kits in S scale (1/64) that would compliment someones collection very well. Some are plastic, some are cast resin & some are wood. Some of the wood kits being produced today are getting to be very easy to assemble. They're lazer-cut. Go together just like a plastic kit, sometimes better. A few of these companies have kits in multi-scales. A good majority of the kits you think you would find in 1/64 scale (barns, windmills, grain bins, etc) are only made in the smaller scales. However, IF there is enough interest in a kit, being produced in a certain scale, they'll run a batch. I figured I'd prod around & see if there is any intrest in such an endeavor. There's no money involved, you don't have to sign anything, nothing like that. I'm just looking for a proverbial show of hands of anybody who might be interested. I'd also like to hear from those of you who have a scene set up for your tractors (pics, too!). Thanks - Mike
