County Model

Hobby project to create an approx 1/12 scale model of a late 1950s Fordson County Crawler

This little project started in early 2021 after being reminded by a family member about a 1950s Fordson County Full Track crawler tractor languishing in a barn down in Kent. To the best of my knowledge the vehicle hasn’t moved much in over 50 years.

After working with laser cut materials of different thicknesses and finishes during a few Etsy projects I thought it would be fun to create a model of the crawler using the same techniques.

Would you like to create your own County Fordson Major 1954 Full Track Conversion 1/12 Scale Wooden Model? The kit contains various thickness laser cut plywood sheet components, 3-D printed jigs (supports) and a full instruction build manual. Create a unique model which has been designed specifically around the County crawler conversion of the Fordson Major circa 1950s.

The model captures the design details from the original 1950s workshop and engineering manuals. Tricky assembly of small parts in the crawler tracks is made easier with the provision of 3-D printed assembly jigs to keep everything aligned and held in the correct position during glueing. 3-D print forming tools also help with steaming/bending of thin bodywork components when necessary. In short, the kit contains everything required. Suitable for medium experienced modellers; or indeed anyone willing to put in the time.
