What is the david brown Callum is it a 1490?

Yea it's a 1490   I think its a cracking model    and couples up to the baler well with the jaw drawbar 

Had a suffle about    got fed up of combines taking up so much space   so cleared dome bits and stuck them in some britains sheds   could do with another tidy up  or another room for everything haha

I have a few 1/50th, But stopped buying them in about 2006 as they were getting too expensive, One of my favourites was the model of the Demag H485 520 ton Hydraulic excavator which at the time was the biggest excavator in the World, and worked just 30 miles from me at an opencast mine which is now the site of The Falkirk Wheel,

That's a beast !

I'm not big on the 1.50 stuff    well I'm not wanting to be big on them  I've enough problems with 1.32 haha     I've just been getting bits that have some kind of connection to for now.........    the liebherr is some machine tho 

A right fine lineup 👌 

Recently treated myself to an early birthday present. A fantastic G&M farm models ferguson TEF20, excellent model and a very good representation of the real deal   and to be honest it wasn't even that pricey for what it is.      Thought I'd stick in a fue other pics from the display cabinet   bought the crane fairly recently aswell it's a WSI model  it's on another level of detail . 

Nice collection

Had some of my animals and bits and bobs out while organising some boxed today 

Excellent    

Think this deserves a nice big cultivator behind it with it sitting on a hillside

Looking very good Callum, like you say get the background scenery sorted and it will be spot on

Yes I'll definitely sort it out. All a learning curve.   Hopefully once I get the full yard down and get some more bits and bobs about the place it will look good 

I've made a bit of progress on my britains farm today.   It's going to be a farm with only britains models. I think I've got a decent enough range of bits from most eras to make the farm fairly interesting.  It's not going to be high detailed or anything wild, just a nice bit to look at and take pics of britains bits on.   

First of all it's in an absolute Mare of a spot.  Getting the background sky stuck on was a pig.  I started with double sided tape, horrendous idea haha the stuff I used was very strong so once it was on it was on for good!   Today I used spray glue and it worked a treat  stuck on nice and smoothed out very well.  Then had ran out off the standard scenic paper and moved onto a roll of premium stuff that has its own adhesive backing. Everything went on lovely   then started folding back after 20mins  so I popped a bit of spray glue on and that held it, but one bit could do with being pulled of and started again It's in such a bad way.    Anyway I hope to add a bit more detail and get some straw in on the shed floors etc.   I've also the dairy and pig section to do.   Hope you enjoy these fue pics

Yes JD6100 on the way,  another run of JD8400 too.

I'm sure they will run the 6910, 6900, 6800 soon too

Hopefully they do a run of 4 and 6 cylinder 10 series 

Did anyone else see that they are releasing the john deeres again with different model numbers    think the 6300 will be a 6100 if I saw correctly 

Cool pics of a new delivery.    I'd like to make a lorry like that one day 

Very tidy collection 👌

She is described as Girl with Bucket cat no 2039, new addition in 1970 under title of Farm Children, but it would appear your figure is missing the base with the Bucket on.

Excellent thanks    I have "boy with rope" aswell  missing the rope and base    but he stands well with the horse and cart 

Fue new bits 

Landed with this figure in a job lot     looks like a britains figure  but not sure what set it's from   possibly goes along with a horse ?

Cheers Callum, I knew I should have checked mine before I replied,Andy's were better detailled and came with side extensions, Unfortuneately these days I think he is to busy full time farming to produce models, here are a couple I took at Hilltops I think in Aberdeen a few years back,

Regards

Joe.

Is Andy   Big A on here ?  (Certainly was one years ago anyway)    he always had tidy trailers

Fine collection you have there Callum, Unless I'mvery much mistaken that looks like an Andy Ingram Stewart trailer, Did you buy that at Aberdeen, Or Maybe Newmacher, ??,

Regards

Joe.

It's a 3oaks trailer.   Just got it a couple months ago 

Some pictures from around the model room.    It's gotten very crowded.  I'd love some more room to get things laid out better. There's boxes of loose britains aswell  that I'd much rather were out on display  but it's just not possible
