Couple more of the Commander

Heres the trailed Commander. I prefer this is a model, quite heavy as well.......

One more of the VariTrack

As Tris said they good models but not as detailed as the UH equivalents. However they are a lot more sturdy. Heres the Evrard Alpha Varitrack...this is still wired into its box so not everyting is clear

Try doing an FTF search.....its amazing whats already on here Try and look at http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=13019.0 and http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=2364.0 When you've read that lot and search some more on the Forum if all your questions haven't been answered then post them up. I have both models, in fact just been looking at them!!

Are these prices the current 'going rate' for these items? http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Britains-Toys-4-You__W0QQ_armrsZ1 If they are then the market value has moved up quite a bit. His postage prices seem excessive though.

Look out for some Bostick Solvent Free. This glue should not create fogging on clear plastic.

It proves the old adage..........you can't please all the people all the the time. To my mind there has been a huge drivel in postings lately but I just don't read those postings. Regarding this last competition that was setup I never even knew about it, so to my mind there was something wrong with the 'publicity' as the fact the event was on didn't reach me. Should there be a couple of people who's sole responsibility is competitions without any other mod duties? One thing that does concern me though is a lot of those people who used to post regularly in the past no longer do so - and I'm one of those even though I usually look in on FTF at least once a day. I can think of several other people like me - this is a more serious problem because numbers of posters is the life blood of any board. I believe this is an issue that needs to be addressed and fairly quickly.

Yep 1/32nd and the latest Transit shape, even down to the white grill. On Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230351029964

Just had three of the Powco SWB Transits arrived. Quite impressed with them as models especially at £4-00 each. Not perfect, left hand drive, no Ford Blue Oval or number plates but at that price you can't have everything!

2004 Deutz Agrotron 265 (Siku Ref No 4480) These people have some if anyone wants one...........http://www.sikudirect.com/special_offers.htm Me I'm looking for the Fendt 936 from 2007 if anyone is aware of one available.

Suggest you try a test with scrap pieces of plastic before using it on the actual model. Too much in the wrong place can melt the plastic, too little can leave you with weak joint that's bound to break when the models finished..........I speak from experience

This coming Sunday 7th June, Bath and West Show Ground. Opening Times 10.30am-3.30pm Admission Prices Adults £4.00 See some of you there?

According to the North Devon Gazette.......... 11am on Saturday, July 4. Entrance is £3 for adults and £1.50 for children. North Devon Hospice is again the chosen charity for the 2009 show.

Great photos...just love the one of the bullock licking the camera lens...

A UH Lemken Euro-Titan 10 Plough, Dealer box. £28 from my local Lemken Dealer which I though was a bit of a bargain.

A UH Vaderstad Carrier 500. Nice model and not a huge size...goes nicely with a Claas Arion. Oh must stop spending money now, I'm feeling all feint after todays purchases................

Yes Colin, apart from the green boxed 551. Luckily I started collecting UH early on when these Renault dealer boxed models were around. Can't keep up with UH these days though, far too many releases. I try and get all the dealer boxed ones if I can but missing some.

I've seen the Celtis on Ebay a few times, the Ares is probably the rarer one. Good luck with your search. Fortunately I've got them in my collection

Yep, the dark grey as in the photo from Colin Sean.
