oops, i accidently got a mistake in posting the images.. just corrected it. naturally you can also check my collection on my website www.fordcrazy001.com where you will find more pictures in the about section of parts of my collection as pictures of every single model in my collection in the collection part of the site. cheers

well, a short list of future classics dearly missed Fordson Dexta.. any kind.. Ford 7810 silver Ford 8210 II-series Ford 8240 Ford 9700

Scanning would take ages.. i cheated a bit.. took pictures with my digital camera and use photoshop to resize and crop the pictures.. is much faster.

got 550 since i started collecting 4 months ago.. from all over the world. I only collect Ford, New Holland and Versatile brochures. It is sure expensive.. but as i have just started, i am starting with the cheaper ones.. but this month i have bought for over 400 euro's of brochures \ i am putting them on my website..but am a bit behind (100 to go).. and meanwhile trying to get an as complete collection of miniatures as you have..

to get jealous of.. you have an amazing collection of limited en special editions and box-sets there.. fantastic that you get that all together in a few years!

still an awesome collection. have started with collecting brochures also, but no way near as many as you have.. amazing

you want to have 10 at the end of the month? i dont think that would be a problem.. and certainly not at those prices. i have two sitting in the closet that would be flying of the shelfs for those prices..

thanks, i'll go look into it.. I'm lauging at the routeplan Jez .. ehh. i am missing cycling time?

i checked out the costs for the ferry and driving , i'd better fly which airport is closest?

Sounds like a good idea for a weekend away..but is short notice and i have no idea if i would be able to get there (i was thinking to drive to there from the Ferry of Hoek of Holland.) is it an easy drive from Dover? and would DBP be there?(which would be the main reason for going as i would like to add a couple of his models to my collection and i dont seem to be able to email him in any way.. :'( )

Well, i will be going for sure again.. last year and the year before were a splendid success, for the show as well as for my collection and of course, it is only an hour drive for me.. and i will be found chatting with the dutch equivalent of FTF which have their own table there too.. I do hope GandMfarmmodels will be there again as i am trying to get them to take a few models with them that i want to add to my collection

i just got my ford brochures placed on my site http://www.fordcrazy001.com/pagina/pagina-memo-ford-brochures.php have a lot more New Holland brochures which i will put on my site in about a month when i have a little more time on my hands..

on my workbench are two things, one a scaledown Fordson Dexta getting colours so i can assemble it later on finally (been waiting for that paintjob for over 6 months) and a restoration project. a Hubley Ford 901 select o speed wide front. There was a lot to restore was missing a headlamp, had holes in the hood from acid is my guess which had to be filled and sandpapered, a new paintjob(which is what i am doing right now) and a new front axle as a part of it was broken off. Got a couple of new parts from dakotahtoys and last month i finally found the right decals (two years search) at bossenimp. I will add pictures later of the state i found it in, and when it is completely restored.. which is gonna be on hold for a month as i will be on vacation

nice collection. i only just started to collect brochures myself. Of the Ford, New Holland and Versatile brands. got about 300 now, mostly USA. any doubles you are willing to trade?

what an fantastic convo of a 1;16 scale. with great eye for detail. cant wait to see more of the great 1:16 scale (my favorate i can add) convo's you have in store for us

I saw that.. was following the Britains Ford's. was surprised. than again, i saw a box of the Britains Fordson E27N spud sell for 82 pounds \

yes madam! (that is what i always tell my g/f too ) good to have someone of the other species to keep us in line (a bit more) on here ! good to have a shared interest. i have that too with my g/f when i actually sell something and get cash money. somehow that gets her attention always.. luckily she doesnt see when i spend money on new models anyways.. welcome to the forum and i hope you'll be contributing to the general discussions in your own feminine ways so new perspectives will be introduced to our narrow male minds

darned.. too late!, not a bad price. still searching for one..

thanks, i have stumbled upon them before but was held back by no feedback. i have a few american friends that help me very well on custom related problems that arise when importing from america. glad to have your pos. feedback. i am pretty sure i will use them for a couple of big(in scale that is ) purchases (on my list are Ford 650, NH TJ480, NH T7040, NH T6070 all in 1:16 scale). cheers, -Wil PS. a bit off topic.. but any good toy stores in NZ that are worth a visit (i'll be visiting in July/August).?

my question would be. (as i know it is the T7050 shown) how on earth are we gonna get a hold on one of those babies on this side of the big pond? i only know one dutch site where occasionally a 1:16 model is offered but mostly for huge prices. are there any good english sites?

very nice work.. put a lot of work in it, it looks like.. keep on the good work

nice job on the restoration! got a 6600 waiting it's final restoration part .. but.. ehhh.. need time for that..

errrrrr....right

yeah.. not a surprise here.. same as forumname.. and i think i met , bought , sold and outbid :P/been outbid quite a few people on here on ebay.
