Whilst it was a little on the quiet side it was still a great day. Roll on Zwolle! No problem David It looks the shows have also hard times to get public. Has 2 reasons i think, first to many models are released and second the economic crisis. texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Nice photos od the show, David and the conversions using the Britains TW's are coming in thick and fast by the looks of it. Some really nice models for sale up there again this year. Thanks Tris. There were at least three stands offering a whole host varied and smart conversions on the Britains TW tractors. Looking forward to seeing the creativity of the conversion specialists applied to the recent John Deere releases too. There were several modified examples done in time for Spalding. The Britains Deeres were certainly creating plenty of interest, and the Schuco 7810 was creating quite a "buzz" too. One of my personal favourites from the most recent releases just had to be the older Schuco International 1455. As always there was some absolutely stunning custom builds being offered at the show.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 That 7700 from Martyn, want want want!!!! It comes highly recommended Niels from someone who was fortunate enough to purchase one. Stunning model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 My only limitations with such models (and the 8340) is that I assume some mainstream manufacturers will produce one in due course. They can't compete with the quality from Martyn of course but what does it do to the value of the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This seems like a brilliant show, does anyone know if Ferguson ever made a 4wd version of the grey fergies like the one to the right of the fergie display ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 My only limitations with such models (and the 8340) is that I assume some mainstream manufacturers will produce one in due course. They can't compete with the quality from Martyn of course but what does it do to the value of the model? My own opinion is that this is probably inevitable in the future with nearly all of the models custom builders choose to produce. As for the impact on their monetary value, from my own collecting stand point I don't buy models with investment in mind. First and foremost I buy custom built models such as Martyn's because they put the biggest smile on my face, and I gain the most enjoyment from collecting custom built models way over and above any general releases in my bid to build up a collection that is unique and personal to me. There's so much more satisfaction buying a model from the person who created it, and, at shows such as Spalding who will talk enthusiastically to you about exactly how they built the models what parts had to be used and their inspiration for building them in the first place. It adds character and a back story them. That is what I love most about collecting nowadays. I do fully appreciate from the custom builder's perspective there is the frustration of producing a model a great expense, only for the likes of UH to come along and produce the same model. Potentially devaluing the custom built creation. I believe this discussion created some healthy debate in another thread. I will see if I can find the link to the topic. Each to their own, and whilst i'll continue to cherry pick the general releases to fill gaps in my collection, I know who's models i'd prefer sitting in my cabinets. But that's for another topic. Photographs of my most recent additions to my own collection in due course in the relevant topic. Last few sets of photographs from Spalding very soon.
