Yes i can remember him ,used to like looking at his photos 

2 steps on wifes Gipsy wagon was bit soft so got 2 new bits and painted them other day ,just refitted them this morning ,its the top step and 2nd one up from bottom 

Was clearing out ashed yesterday to get this topper mower out and some other things ,lifted out this old 3 row potatoe planter ,think its called a Pilot . Its got the 3 seats and 3 rotating wheels with trays that you put a spud in as it passes you and around other side tray tips to drop spud into the ground ,not been used for a few years ,can remember back in the late 1960s sitting in the middle seat so i shouldnot fall of planting potatoes on days i should have been at school .

Paint was dry on grain-pusher that we had altered so put on jcb and stood it outside in sun to fully harden off over weekend sunshine 

Got a new main feed pipe fitted on sprayer over weekend ,sitting thete now awaiting to go ,blowing a gale out there at moment and very cold so it might be sitting thefe a few days 

Wellcome along to the forum ,hope you pick up some tips and tricks along the way . I can remember a few years ago i was helping on a stand at a model show over here in UK and there was a lad in his 20s i was talking to ,he was from New Zealand and he collected models and he was totaly amazed at the amount of models for sale in one place he said models are few and far between back in New Zealand . He was over in uk visting family for first time and had seen advert in local paper about show andcome along

Your foot must be getting better smithy if your back working

It is slightly better still swollen and bit tender ,yes back working but being very carefull ,activate clutch when first in tractor with right foot then everthing is on shuttle for forewards or backwards and gears on button with right hand ,right leg is ok for brakes just have to climb in and out with caution ,just taken this photo so you can see its still a differant colour

Good friday and saturday i managed to get my spring barley drilled ,few wet spots but all in ok .Just sugar beet to get in next ,9mm rain yesterday and more on the way 🤨

On the dry days last week i got some spraying done and a bit more fertilizer on ,every bag was a differant shade of green/blue

Over weekend i caught my biscuite thief in are rest room up farm 😅 , grandson Theo

A lot of the prices were fair and reasonable. A few items I saw I thought were over priced for the condition but if it is a model you have been after for a while, you would pay the price to add it to the collection. Plenty of sellers and a great variety to choose from.

I am more buy it when you see it otherwise it will be gone!

Here are my purchases

All good models there , really like the Valtra Q and the Hesston

couple of resin printed figures to go with the mf 23 tines that arrived a week or two ago, also one of james land rover kits  but got carried away with that and will be a while till its sorted ,i really must finish the tractors to go with them all as well ,

We can see where all the pies went 😂

I had a look at all them Britains models and most of the boxes was in good condition and so was models inside ,plenty of customers was buying from him ,yes he might have been £10 per model dearer than other traders on the day but if you are looking at a certain model to complete/add to you collection then you wont the best there is and you pay for quality
