People getting giddy on a Sunday, the sprit still being available from vaderstad 

that's crazy even for ebay.  It's one thing for an out of production model to get bid up, but a newly released model at these prices seems all out of whack.  

@trigger82 Thanks for sharing the photos.  Always nice to see a few shots from the model shows. 

Seems like we are getting more model price inflation in 2023, pushing 100 EUR for an implement. 

They look good, but a big price.   

Agree, the 760 is looking good.  Looking forward to the Onion topper and windrower as well. 

Anyone else planning to display a diorama at Spalding in April? 

Seems a lot of debate on Facebook about the paying for dioramas at Spalding.  Looks like it covers the entry fee for a couple of people, so that offsets most of the cost.  

I might have a business trip timed around the splalding show this year.  If I can get direct flights I will plan to bring over a diorama.  

Seems there was an interesting rock picker model.  Seems like it might be 1/16

Amazing work, can't wait to see it finished.  Good luck with thr painting.

I had seen what looked like a, different to the first release, 1:32 new defender on some of the Chinese sites, is this version abit better scaled to 1:32? The first one must be getting on for 1:28th its huge. Details also look abit nicer on the version you have.

I think it is still a little on the larger side, but quality wise the model has got better.

The Britains 8560,M160,6636 and L85 were all realised together in late 1996.. 

ah ok, maybe less than 5% inflation hedge.

My thesis backfired with the wife.  As she showed me that her Handbags are compounding at 6.6% over the same period.  Doh.

Nice models, also an interesting exercise in showing the inflation of model tractors.  Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the NH 8560 came out in about 1998/1999.  Therefore given the NH T6 180 is the newer version, model tractor prices have been compounding at about 5% per year, far higher than underlying UK inflation (until recently)  that only compounded at 2,47%.  

So if any wife/spouse/partner gives you trouble with model tractor buying in 2023, you can show that model tractors are nearly as good an inflation hedge as Gold.  

Happy New Year 

Found this book in China, basically a model tractor collector has photographed his collection and turned it into a book.  Looks pretty nice.  This is the translation of the blurb inside the cover:

About the Author:

Wang Jiahua, born in October 1981, Qingdao, Shandong

People, Scorpio, currently living in Shanghai.

Graduated from Zhejiang University majoring in information engineering, and then studied in the IMBA program of Hong Kong University and Fudan University to earn an MBA degree.

Hobby collection, especially in the collection of agricultural machinery models

The field has been devoted to research for nearly 10 years, has collected nearly a thousand agricultural machinery models, and has taken nearly 100,000 model pictures.

Picked up a few bargains before Chritmas.  Got them each for between 15-30 as they are unboxed or slightly damaged. (I switched the wheels on the Schuco Deere to Ertl Precision 8400 wheels) Also picked up a 1/32 model of the New Defender.  

I am cleaning out some of my spares collection.  Anyone interested in any of these wheels, etc.

Very big thanks to @sipher172 for this Massey ferguson 390 

what can i say very well wrapped up and top man to deal with 

Pleasure, you can also be assured that this 390 has more airmiles than any other.  Made China, bought in Netherlands, lived in Hong Kong, flew to UK before being shipped to Ireland.  

You had a little fortune as well, the 390 fitted in my carry on bag.    Unfortunately the UH Perard Chaser was in my checked bag, which the airline lost.  doh.  

1/32 UH Perard X Track - Sold

Updated with prices 

I am trying to thin out the collection a little, will put more items up at the weekend.  Let me know if you have interest in any of the below or you want additional photos. Will work out prices at weekend too.  
 

1/43 UH Deutz - £10 + P&P 

1/32 Ertl John Deere 4440 - £15 + P&P - Sold

1/32 Chinese Lorry - £35 + P&P - similar detail to Marge lorry, would be good for conversation (can provide more photos if interested)

Silly question probably...but did you sell the Holmer?

Yes that sold quite a while ago.  The Tucano is still available. 

Amazing builds, you have gift.  It’s pretty incredible how you can create such detailed master pieces in such short periods of time.   

Fresh combine arrived on the family farm in the UK while I was visiting.  One of the only Fendt combines in the UK, and likely the only non~ideal agco combined with tracks.  

I got this a while ago but I didn't like the wheels.  After trying every alternate set of wheels I have, I settled on keeping the rears and switching the front wheels to a spare pair of Marge wheels. 

Other than the wheels the model is pretty impressive.
