Very nice 👌

Two of the other sheds that got some attention. 

Couple more pics of some sheds    made a start on my old silage pit today   it served me well but I thought it deserved a base and a good sand down  

A couple more or my childhood sheds have had a tart up and a very tidy unboxed 5000 arrived home 

Also put some senic stuff on a couple shelves   it's nothing posh and wasn't supposed to be  it's just to make it look a tad better than the white before.  I'd like to do the others now when I find time    the hedge at the back is hanging basket material for anyone wondering (I'm sure you can get it more greener tho) 

Another one of my creations from the carpet farm is spending some time in the workshop    sanded it down and fitted a base to it today   just need to get more primer and it's good for paint 

Lots of nice bits added    the bale trailers and the 1 pass drill with packer are very cool 

Some new additions to the collection   another 6600 and fergie    I do like the metallic defender tho   always wanted one 

Some new additions to the collection 

I've always like the siku fergies   have a fue of them now   and the metallic defender was a nice cheap find from ebay and a spot of tattie lifting  

Nice to see you back    I think I prefer it here to Facebook    don't get me wrong Facebook is good but I've been coming and going on the forum since 2006 I think 

Nice additions     I always had a soft spot for the tractors with the flotation wheels 

Hi I'm after these 2 seeders    condition has to be good but I'm not fussed on boxes 

Britains books and catalogues 

Some carpet farming while I work on the britains display    

Ford's ready for some hay 

Winter supplies tucked up 

Drilling team ready to go 

Poor renault was attacked with brown paint  as were a fue others    I remember bailing with the deutz baler in the garden while a newholand was baling straw next to me    the baler was recently brought to life thanks to a kind fella on Facebook   I bought a couple bits of him and he threw in the tyres for it 

Couple pics of my original and favourite toys and sheds made by my grandad    these models have done a massive amount of work 

Thought I'd take a fue pics of the collection now I've got lights that work  some of the john deeres 

Fitted 2 led batten lights in the loft today   it's made a massive improvement to the room   it doesnt show well on camera but hay ho

Touched in the parts that needed more red paint, and the green parts with a little red overspray.

Tomorrow I will paint the tines black to create the "convio" effect and refit them.  But very pleased how its going so far. 

Be good to see how this looks when finished     the header is what's stopping me buying one, it looks a bit naff standard

That 5000 could still do with abit off tweeking if its rerealised. Like a steerable front axle. It also seemed to have a casting like a banana in comparison to the 7000 that looked much better.. 

Yes the banana bonnet was a bit **** compared to the rest of the model and the 7000    I think the steering as a toy wasn't ideal but would have been sturdy for little ones,  and with them sending out the original versions of the massey and Valtra   I'd imagine if the ford's came back they would stay solid steering.  unfortunate for us and I suppose fortunate for kids 

Got a nice little haul of 1.64 models fro. G&M farm models today    excellent condition and a fair price   also got the siku plough from them   not exactly my favourite model but I had one when I was younger     and a pic of the 1.64 collection 

At a guess I think the ford 5000 (from 2007 I think) will be back, that would also leave room for the 7000 and the 76 etc. I'd like to see a seed drill and a fertiliser spreader. 4 cylinder 40/50 series john deeres would also be nice     but my guess is the 5000 and possibly the return of Angus and simmental cattle 

It's sounding like I might have to put the little sheep trailer on the car when I go to zwolle  haha    I'm thinking next year might be the one I go to  if all goes to plan

just had a look thgrough your collection , an amazing variety of models and sizes i stick mainly to 1/32 but have some 1/16 & 1/64s as well . keepthe cllection growing and posting it on here

Thanks      I'm not particularly biased to 1 brand although I do like a john deere as I served my time on them.   Just a mix of all models that catch my eye or I have some connection to.   The 1.64 collection is growing bit by bit    I had no plan to collect 1.64 but here I am haha same with the cars and lorrys     I find myself falling down the rabbit hole far to easily haha 

Today a backdoor arrived home for my siku forage waggon    big thanks to new hollander for finding and sending me this. I also received my RC john deere 7800   had it out the box and it works nicely think it was a good purchase for £20

goodevening Callum i travel to zwolle via the newcastle to amsterdam ferry , its an overnight crossing leave at 5pm and arrive the otherside at 0900 ish . and 530pm leaving holland , i make a holiday of it ans spend a few nighrs in Zwolle its great to catch up with many like minded collectors at the show and in the gotel after the show once at amsterdam its abouyt an hour and a half drive to Zwolle, i used to drive down to dover and across and drive the five hours at the otherside but worked out the more expensive ferry from newcastle actually worked out a lot cheaper in the long run than the long trip to dover 

Yea by the sounds of things the Newcastle ferry or flying would be my best options    thanks for replying
