What will your New Years Resolution be regarding farming models?

[MuirHillyBilly]

Hi there

Well we all like a new year resolution don't we? I usually make ones that go by about 3pm on New Years day but I'm interested to hear what you guys will be looking to do more or less in the new year with our beloved hobby.

Mine are;

More Massey models, more weathering, more scratch building, more classic tractors (Schuco Deutz, UH County etc...) More diorama work

Less impulse buying  Less Siku (sorry but I seem to have grown out of them  ) Less Ebay crazy prices and less tresting new weathering paints on perfectly good models 

[DMarshallModels]

not eating sweets  :'( :'( get the gut off 

[DBfan]

Make more DBs to sell

Get the Zetor made to sell

and make more old machinery for the back of the tractors 

and general improvments to the layout

[jdc]

Fill in the gaps in 60s & 70s tractors that I have been reluctant to tackle.......

[Paul Palmer]

to keep changing and adding to my layout,and buy the cat challenger 865c and 765c

[SPN]

My resolution is to concentrate on expanding my collection of Basildon Beauties, and to add some more DBP models to my collection. I would also like to add two Scaledown models during the year - a County Super Six and a Massey 65.

I'd also like to get to Spalding again this year to pick up some custom made bits and pieces.

Most of all, I'd like to have enough spare cash to do all the above.

well I've been in two minds for sometime now... but I'm hoping to move next year and that's a good enough excuse to rationalise my collection of MF's... I'm not sure what theme I'll follow.... but I'll be keeping the more expensive ones I think and selling off the more common ones.

........... perhaps........

Juts bought home the latest Blue MF and a Siku Blackline 8600 as well  .. well... it is still 2011

sigh, how many new years resolutions have gone overboard at some point 

but here is my try for the new year

praying that there wont be too many NH limited editions in 2012... , buying no newly decaled NH models but concentrating on filling gaps in the older part of my collection.

Also add 1:16 models by DBP and RJN Classic to my collection as well as a few missing Brian Norman and G&B Models models..

and last but not least, leave the new unlimited releases be, for the time being..

[Tractorman810]

to get back into the builds again, got loads drawn out, just not found the time to do them ,but thats going to change with luck

[Hillview]

With too many models coming out I have decided to narrow my collection down. I will concentrate on an MF/AGCO theme. I will also collect the odd scratchbuilt and conversion model that interests me.

Quality rather than quantity is my aim for my model collection.

[Lord Ferguson]

Any plans for a 1:1 scale tractor model this coming year Sean 

[masseyjack590]

sort my layout out and finish all the random scratch builds and conversions i've started but not finished

[Tractorman810]

Any plans for a 1:1 scale tractor model this coming year Sean 

you knver know, got a few bits to pay for this year, but at the right price and condition / model, a storage place has been sorted ready, just a busy expensive year for me this time

[Leakeyvale]

As Wil said "too many resolutions".  I plan to limit my purchases.  As I collect old Britains (and other) farm toys this will mean finding the rarer  models.  And when I say "OLD" I mean 1930-1950 hollowcast and not the plastics that came later.

Tractors are also going to be restricted to the same period although if a modern example of a 50s tractor is available I might go for it.

[neilw]

My resolution is to buy at least one model a month, and visit at least one show next yr. she who shall be obeyed permitting...... ;D

I'm ths same, although I do also collect early plastic figures (approx 1955-1965).

My speciality is old wooden farm (& zoo) buildings, but I'm seriously running out of space to store them so will limit purchases to just the nicest ones (mostly made approx 1922 to 1962), and would like to sell some of my 'newer' and plainer buildings (say 1945 to 1975 - there is some overlap of dates in my priorities, according to style) to make room.

[kinsella]

my new year resoulution is to collection more mf for use on kinsella and maybe a few fendts

[Pete132]

I finally got around to getting my workbench area built, all is left to do is decide where I want to hang the tools.

So with that done my news yars resolution is to use the bench and get some models done!

[Blue man]

Get another show Diorama built and take it to all the local shows and try to finish conversions that are half done

[Deere-est]

To continue on the same themes. 2011 was meant to be the reincarnation of Leverets Farm. It never happened... Will it happen in 2012 is the question..... \

[mr softie]

well towards 2012 im going to slow down collecting standard models and focus more on coversions/ scratchbuilt models or tractors/ machinery ive used over the years  ( right now ive said that bit who am i trying to convince  )

[ford 8830]

to finally have a model room built in the back garden to display all my collection.

[WillTEF20]

Complete my layout, make a layout for shows ohh and make my shed with my layout in waterproof!!! not alot then

[bigbear]

To concentrate on 1950's onwards plastic Britains tractors, figures and implements. Nothing in the new ranges seems to satisfy at the moment. Also to get my collection into proper cabinets, so I can enjoy the models and not just look through boxes of boxes...

[B O R]

to make more mf models...ive got the literature,now i just need the biggest thing of all which is time
