nylyon-(Admin) 7,122 #11 Posted January 9, 2011 Well, finally we know. Stone Henge was built to be a back drop for Wheel Horses. Those ancients were wise indeed! Beautiful pictures, thank you for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mith 2 #13 Posted January 15, 2011 Glad you made it back OK Neil. Was wondering why you hadnt posted that afternoon, now I see why it took you so long to get back! Must have been pretty hard work lifting it in and out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,398 #14 Posted January 15, 2011 hi Jim i hope your other sale went ok i stopped off for a coffee and decided to take a few snaps i have been asked to submit these phots for a magazine so y i will send you a copy of magazine when its published Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mith 2 #15 Posted January 15, 2011 Neil, Simon is coming over tomorrow to get the rest of the bits. A whole load of stuff went for scrap today too, its pretty empty down the garden now (apart from all the wood!) Look forward to seeing the magazine! (If I'd known it'd be doing modelling on the way home I would have cut that bit of steel off the front for you!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,398 #16 Posted January 16, 2011 Just to let you Know jim that i am delighted with commando 8 and i hope that you were happy with what you got. I find it really difficult to let something go that i have a fondness too. still i soppose it allows you to get on with other projects. Let me know if you ever decide to sell your last wheel horse with loader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 2,398 #19 Posted January 16, 2011 Wow how did you do that thank you sooooo much SOI looks relly cool Much better without the fence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,563 #20 Posted January 16, 2011 Wow how did you do that thank you sooooo much SOI looks relly cool Much better without the fence You are most welcome Sir ! Guess that proves the statement sometimes you can't even believe what you see. Photo editing software has come a long way in the last few years. This was only a 10 minute effort. I'll spend more time on it tonight to get a few more things right. Maybe I can get the Heel Stones in the pic too. Can't call home without them ! The last time I was there, many decades ago, no fencing was present. Otherwise, it looks the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
