Udimore Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 1/16 as you know takes up loads of space, and i always felt 1/64 was too small sorry 1/32 just right, but it would be boring if we all liked the same models & scales wouldn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Martin... Good evening mate ? - And good on yer too ! - I love the 1/16th's - not SO keen on the 1/64th's as they are very small and lacking in detail somewhat. Udimore - Your very true space is a problem with 1/16th's - I've stuck to one brand for that very reason (and I've still run out of space ?)

NewHolland2 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Martin... Good evening mate - And good on yer too ! - I love the 1/16th's - not SO keen on the 1/64th's as they are very small and lacking in detail somewhat. Good evening to you to Mark :). I like my 1/16th models. I have a Hesston and two New Hollands and a Ford. I tend to only pick the 1/16th models up at shows since it saves on postage......I'll be off for a wee bit shortly but back on later......

MJB1 Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Lovely pictures Marcus - Shows just how long you've been a true model boffin then (as If the earlier one of you on a tractor didn't !) (The Whippy Gate Affair) Love that Ford pulling the trailer- looks so much better than the standard model with those wheels. The one pulling the trailer in the dirt Marcus - surly they are not standard are they sorry mate ,i forgot i'd posted that here as well? the wheels on the rear in that pic are from new-ray toys? the centers leave a lot to be desired but the width of the tyres do look the part here's a few pics of the wheels that are on the fords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Udimore - It's a Scale Models American model. Picked it up in the Spring last year from G&M. There are some pics on here.

THEBRITFARMER Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'll be an old man by the time I manage to persuade her to get me another cabinet or two... Glad to hear it - does NOBODY else on here collect 1/16th and 1/64th scales? I collect 1/64 Marky, I use that scale for my North American Farm, 1/32 for the Euro Farm. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udimore Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Superb, haven't seen it in your displays from the past, do you have it locked away somewhere Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Superb, haven't seen it in your displays from the past, do you have it locked away somewhere Martin Yeah, it is a nice model. It has never been in any of my displays yet but I hope to get some shelves or a cabinet sometime soon to display the rest of my boxed models. I never used to buy anything other than what I "needed" for my carpet farm however over the past year or two I've started buying more and more models to keep in boxes. :) This has lead to a decrease in the amount of room available for display purposes as all my surfaces are taken up......and I can't use it on my 1/32 carpet farm. So the Hesston, and a fair few other boxed models are currently stored in my wardrobe waiting for my shleves/cabinets. I think this year most of the models I will buy will be going into the wardrobe but hopefully will get displayed eventually...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
