I'm having a similar problem to you with PB... trying their FTP uploader though now... which seems to be a little better/faster \ Looking forward to those pictures then as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 PB has changed format again Mark but I still cannot get the bulk one to work. never mind I think I've got 115 uploaded now. I need to get the second wash load on and I will be posting. I had to try and load 2 photos 3 time before they would work :of I'm annoyed with that dirty lens again when I took the 6 winning shots but maybe Andy can do some "magic" on them if he needs them for my show report which I need to write this week.

BC Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Nice to meet you as well John however, you must have the strongest handshake I have ever had, ;D ;D Mike ..in Scotland "the other National drink" is Iron Bru....made from girders.... ;D ;D ....I expect John was a bit thirsty on arrival and had a " wee sup o' that" ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 A really really nice and rare model did not catch my eye until I spoke to father and son team George and Johnny Milburn from Hexham. A really nice father and son who invited me to do an article on their vast range of John Deere's which I would love to do but well it's not exactly on my doorstep > Jonathan Pullen aka county999 said they had one of the best collection of John Deere's there was to get and I should speak to them about doing an article for Model Farmer \ GOLD JOHN DEERE 5430 (i) SELF PROPELLED SPRAYER I was so pleased when George gave me three attempts at taking a photo of this rare model..he even tilted it forward and backwards until a fairly decent shot was had and he even offered to remove from the box which I had to say NO NO NO Anyway here were the three shots I took Bought for £ 150 after an entry on the internet to buy...well someone has to be lucky given the gold ones were limited to around 10 or 11 \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Well that's it from me from Penrith for 2010 the nearest model show to us in Scotland so far but well plan's are afoot to have one in Aberdeen or the Shire ;) Anyway all in good time but I think a big thank you must go to Harold Powlton and his partner Jane who made this show happen for the fourth year of which I have only attended the last two. The organisers.....Harold and Jane In addition another good helper for the show who I have spoken to this year and last year was Colin Roper from Penrith who works at the centre and drives the minibus and looks after the grounds Harold said Colin did not want to be caught on camera but well I was trigger happy and got him ;D ....I do hope Mike or Sharon managed to get him to subscribe to Model Farmer ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Colin was the first to subscribe ;) As we were setting up about 8.30am he came across and asked if he could do it there and then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Well, Frazer and myself had a fantastic time and were really well looked-after - many thanks to Harold and Jane. A big 'well done' to the prize winners, but congratulations to all the diorama builders - every one was different and the amount of work and detail in each display we unbelievable. Can't wait to see what they all produce for us next time! (Oh and a huge 'thank you' to Bill for helping unload ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Some of those old saying's are right you know Mike...." the early bird catches the worm" ;D I had to laugh when Sharon was a bit concerned the table coverings were not ironed.....well after the stall was filled I'm sure no one really noticed....a bit like my newly acquired FTF polo shirt..but me being a shy type decided to keep it covered with my light weight Regatta fleece.....Costco offcourse ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
