Hi all,

I had a Foden sugar container which was bend in several directions and the tank cover was missing.
Thats what I made out of it.
The flat bed came out of a 3D-printer.

Great job; I like the two-tone green. It's almost begging to have a load on its bed!

Very nicely done! you’ve put together a very convincing model and color scheme!
The Foden is a very versatile model.
Happy hunting!

Not easy with a Tractor as most of them are red, green or blue but a nice cream might work especially with the yellow wheels.

I'd say red and gray, as Ford tractors were before someone decided they should be blue...though you would need a set of gray wheels, too.

That´s exactly what I did this afternoon after a little search for pictures in the internet.
Lst´s see if the colour is dry tomorow.
