Wish I had the talent like that to add color, that is a fine job!

Adding the color is so easy. I use watercolor crayons to color the areas I want painted and then simply use a water brush to blend the color. If you can color in a coloring book, you can use watercolor crayons.

It looks like a John Deere!  Wow, loved how you did the wheels and tires....mine would look either egg shaped or a bunch of squares 🤪...Really nice color choice...it is simply amazing 👏 

I wanted it to look like a John Deere but didn't use a name so I wouldn't get hit with infringement rights. The area I live is very rural with a lot of farming. During farming season, about every field you drive by has a piece of John Deere equipment out working. Thought a piece with a "green" tractor would sell in my area.

Seeing your work took me back many, many years. I grew up on the farm and my dad was a John Deere man all the way. To him, if it wasn't a John Deere it wasn't a tractor. My parents gave me a camera when I graduated from high school. I took many pictures around the farm. He had two John Deere's. Attach is a picture of the oldest on as 1947 model "B".

When I was 14/15 I would go each weekend and work on my cousin's farm.  He paid me a buck an hour.  I love it, I'd sit on a tractor from sun up to sun down.   Enjoyed all of it. I could start down a row, see a mouse jump off the tractor, club the mouse catch up to the tractor get back on and finish the row!  He was a Farmall man,,,Model "M".   I loved working on the farm.

I was raised on a golf course my uncle owned and I was constantly on a piece of equipment of some sort. (Tractor, backhoe, greens mower, sand trap rake) I also worked for a few of the farmers in the area but I was usually on the ground cropping tobacco or picking melons. Unfortunately kids now days don't know what kind of life that is like. They are too busy with their noses in their cell phones or playing video games. A huge loss for them!

Our  family goes back a little farther than John Deere does with the tractor. My wife's great grandfather was the first person to build and mass produce the gasoline powered tractor. It was called the Little Bull. Here is a photo of it.

I bet that thing has some weight!
