Micromodelling – Forestry and agricultural machinery (PoD)

Micromodels are simply fascinating! Guiding models in classic railway scale 1:87 through a matching landscape is simply fun and the little masterpieces amaze every observer. But the specialists have long since moved beyond building "normal" road and off-road vehicles – functional models are the order of the day! And so, the team of authors of this book shows models with a variety of functions from the field of forestry and agriculture. Whether forwarder or timber train with loading crane, large tractor or woodchipper – there is almost nothing that is impossible. The individual models are presented in detail and suitable for reproduction.

And don't worry even for beginners, simpler models are included with which to start in this fascinating model sector – and then there are plenty of opportunities to let off steam with multifunctional models!
