Does anybody want a lawnmower?

I set out to build a model lawnmower for my 4mm layout, however I made the first attempt too big, and it is therefore probably more suited to a 7mm layout.

 

It is built entirely out of Styrene strip and rod.

 

It's no good to me, and a new, smaller version is now being built, so if anyone wants it, drop me a PM.

 

EDIT: It's now been spoken for, thanks.

 

It's loosely based on a Qualcast Commodore (we used to have one)

As you can see, a 4mm bloke would have trouble operating it...

Well, the lawnmower landed safely this morning in not-so-sunny East Devon and looks even better "in the plasticard" than it did in the photos.  Thanks again, Al.

 

It's now in the care of Jack, the crossing-keeper, who's a keen & quite successful gardener in his spare time.  As it's just been delivered he's left it temporarily on the lawn although he's such a neat & tidy soul that I can't see it staying there for long before he finds it a permanent home.  In the meantime, though, he needs to finish a bit of digging.
