Morning, yes it did come from Barry, a few back now. Lovely little model, shame about the good old wheel melt!

Yes sorry about the melt. I built a few of them for Barry. And some countys built from old tw20 scrappers. Superb collection you have.

Hello Charlie, just had a major catch up with your collection but no doubt still missed something! Jeez, I reckon you could make a list of the models you HAVEN'T got in a pretty short time! Great to see more of it. I haven't been on the Forum in any great capacity for a long time.

I see it's been a while since the last post but you're probably only now coming to the end of a busy season.... either that or still in the thick of it, for want of a better expression!

A couple of questions for you.

Firstly, your Gold FTF in display case. As far as I am aware, only two were ever let out of Andy's grasp like this. Guess who has the other :rolleyes:;)

Secondly, that Britain's first release Land Rover in preparation assembly state... Wow! That's a find and a half, isn't it?!! Blimey. Also like the firet tender example as well.

Thirdly, do you have in your collection, the Britain's white and orange jeep with trailer? I cannot find one anywhere! Had it as a lad and suffered a great deal on a jeep safari through El Sandos Pitos. Think it got scrapped in the end :-[

There was a fourth but it's gone clear out of my head now!

 

***Edit***

Remember the fourth. TheMuir-Hill. Whilst a different model, there is one in a shed not far from you with a fifth wheel mounted log trailer. I forget the model as I'm not over familiar with them. I just remember seeing it and thinking what a fantastic bit of kit. It's not restored but in a very good 'working clothes' state.

Morning Tris,

sorry for the slow reply, tried logging on a few times but not had much success recently.

Thanks for looking, glad you've enjoyed having a look through.

I must admit I didn't know only of the gold ftf fords were like this, learn someth9nig new every day. looks great in the case. And a smart case too.

I was very lucky to find the pre assembly landy, apparently used to hang in managers office in London many many years ago when it was made, its very different and a great part of a landy collection. I was toying with the idea of glazing the front of it, but decided to leave it original.

Somewhere lurking n the depths of the boxes yes there is an orange jeep & trailer, might even be more than one.

Don't see many muir hills about these days.

Hi Sean,

I must admit I'd not seen them before, managed to get a major as well. Be interested to see what else comes trough, cracking model.

it amazes me how good some of this scratch built stuff is, I take my hat off to those out there who can do this. fair play.

It certainly is cracking. What scale is it? Looks big compared to the 1000 series behind 

Not 100% sure Martin but yes it's slightly bigger than 1/32 though. Possibly wouldn't notice in a layout if not next to a small tractor
