the big bird on the side has been created for  frank hudson by my mate  and has copyright so this is a bit special to his transport company

jp7810 clear your in box i have tried to email you ,the jd stickers are done

can not wait i love this show  ,i might even go to the chinese sit down restaurant in spalding again the food there is spot on ,and  few pints on saturday night ,i always make a weekend of it and return on Monday home  :D

the black one is remote control and the trailer ,the blue /white is push along it is just to finish ,door handles mirrors

I don't think i even have a limited edition but i just wanted to ask something and i'm sorry for going off topic i will make it up to you guys by staying on topic in another topic sometime in the distant future. But...

I hope your house is still standing? Said on Radio 1 earlier there was a fire last night, i instantly thought CONVO! 

are your humor josh  ;D ;D ,,i am not to sure how to take that ,,just think ,,, if i died in my house fire there would be no more pink john deeres no more controversial paint work ,,,the world of model tractors would not be a colour full place any more :( :(  just who would take my place  ;D ;D ;D

josh i do like your crack,,,by the way that is a Geordie word for conversation ;D

barry i do agree with you it is flustering that the limited editions are in some cases hard to get hold of from were they are launched ,but i think that goes for all collectors all over the world ,i have been asked already by 6 guys from Europe to pick up some of the mc cormick spalding models and 2 of them want 2 each ,now i will not make profit from these but i will get the favor returned ,so it is not so bad for me but i total understand ,on the other hand if you can make a few bob from some show models /limited editions it could well pay for your journey there /back or even both in some cases then that just makes the outing a bit sweeter

the gamble is as we all well know when a new limited edition model comes out is

A : do you jump right in and buy it a double the show price from some one on ebay just so you have it

B : wait for it to come down in price with the possibility of missing out

C: buy it at over the odds then find out it was a bit of a flop and see them on ebay not even selling at the show price

D:pass up an opportunity to get one and find out a year later they are making 3 times what they cost at there launch

??? ???

barry i thought i would just cheer you up mate  ;D ;D ;D

joe i have all ready done some 939s in black they will be at spalding ,just need to do the grill on them  to finish ,then i seen this post about agritechnica (bummer  :( ) on the plus side they mint and i mean flawless  i have not painted the full exhaust on mine i have painted the bottom and top parts and left the middle black also painted the beacons silver

the future is just the thing , as i mean if you wanted to sell some models at this present time that you had collected over the years  for a future investment  ,or that so called rainy day came and you need the cash now ,would they be worth more now than what you paid for them ?,or would it be just the case of you will have lost nothing and got your money back in most cases ???

because i have got to say if my house burned down tonight ,i bet i could replace most of my collection for less than i paid for them 7 years ago or so at the moment , how long is this recession going to last 2015 +,you can see on the likes of ebay that standard toys are doing better than most limited editions at the moment and can you afford to collect limited editions just to sit on them for that rainy day,

years ago kids like me got a toy tractor for a birthday or Christmas and this is were my collecting ( addiction )for these things came from,so now me at 39 years young i am a  serious collector,

now kids today what do they get for birthdays and Christmas ps 1,2,3,4,---16 or what ever they on now  ,so what i am saying is ,will there be still a keen interest for these sort of things in years to come ??

now i collect this things because i have a keen interest ( addiction ) but as an investment even i am not to sure weather model tractors will be a good investment ,,,please don't get me wrong i would hope so  :) other wise £00,000 down the drain ,,,,, just my opinion 

they have also discontinued the siku john deere 7430 , i base most of my conversions on this model because it has not got the knob on the roof ,

i think i will need more than just painting a few tractors pink to be a hit with the ladies  ,like may be losing 4 stone ,going to the gym ,face lift ,tummy tuck ,,,i could give my self a colour change  (spray tan)  ,,,,,,,,yes that should a bout do it ,,,,, ;D ;D ;D

they are based on this 

these are some pictures my little lad took of his jcbs i have just stickered up for him ,he seen one with 60 years jcb on and asked me to get some stickers made for him ,you can see him taking the picture through the mirrors ,he saind to put them on the forum ,so

any way i have the stickers made in 3 different sizes along with the union jacks and the decals on the truck ,please contact me if you would like some ,

the story goes a little like this ,her boyfriend Neil (works for bridgegate tyres up here) has a massive collection and i mean a massive collection of 1/32 tractors ,and its not that she does not approve of his hobby / addiction i think is more the fact she has not got one of her own ,so in my wisdom i decided to do a tractor in a girls favorite colour pink and give it to her for her 30th birthday ,she was over the moon and it was the highlight present of the party ,because all who attended know what a collection Neil has ,,,,,so just maybe she might not give him a hard time now when he wants the next new model tractor that comes out ,,,,she did actually say he was not getting his hands on it ,,,, besides i think it is a much better present than just sticking a £10 in a card and saying happy birthday  ;)

come on that ian get them on here mate ,,

better than red any way ,i have a few of these and i could not shift them in red so if i have to keep them now ,i will be quite happy
