Popular Post robbo Posted February 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2016 I am sure that I had a topic on here somewhere but I can't find it so I might as well start another one. It is a rainy day here today so I decided to have a bit of a reorganisation, first up a view of the Billy bookcases with the doors open. Then a few close ups of the individual shelves 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post robbo Posted February 20, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2016 More of the shelves, whilst the Same's are obviously the main brand, I will collect almost anything and I am not colour blind 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Nice collection Mike, some different models there on your shelves and nice to see the odd Leyland and Nuffield sneaked in too Just a quick question...what size (width x depth) is the shelves in your Billy bookcases? trying to find a couple of suitable cabinets for some of my Classic Combines models but the ones I've looked at so far aren't big enough to allow full use of the shelf and have a lot of dead space....thinking they might have to be bespoke jobs to get the best fit of shelf space.

The shelves are 78 X 24 centimetres or 30" X 9" in old money, I like them because they are relatively cheap and they have glass doors to keep the dust out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Very nice line - up Mike. Like the look of the billy bookcases as well. I need some more shelf space, so I might just have a look at those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post robbo Posted November 4, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2018 I haven't p[osted in this thread for around 2 1/2 years so I thought it was due an update. I have managed to source an Ikea glass cabinet at a good price (free) so I have cleaned it up and it is the new home for some of my Same collection. I do have others but I couldn't fit them in 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf aphid Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Liking those Mike except the modern ones the two with the selection of Hercules, are they the Marge ones? Would love to find them, they are pretty rare though! what are the cabbed ones on the third shelf? I think the one in the corner is the artisan kit?

Would love to find them, they are pretty rare though! what are the cabbed ones on the third shelf? I think the one in the corner is the artisan kit? Yes you are right on all counts. The two in the top cabinet with the Hercules versions are the Saturno models produced by the LCN Club as a members model in 2015 and they were made for them by Marge Models. They occasionally come up on ebay but are usually around £250 each. The next shelf has the Artisan Buffalo kit in the back left corner next to the 2 Dinosaur models. At the front of that shelf there are 3 PDC conversions. The first was a Jaguar 95 that I asked Paul to make for me, he had to do 10 but they sold like hot cakes and people kept asking for more. As a result he later made the Leopard 85 in both 2 and 4 wheel drive but he is now having trouble getting hold of the base model and is not making any more as far as I know. I do have others in different scales but they won't fit in this glass cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike, I am very tempted by a couple of them, just the prices are a bit eye watering!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 This is a model that I bought at Zwolle in 2017, I am sure that it is a conversion but I think it may be 1/25 or 1/16th scale. I have never seen another one like it so I had to have it 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Dan Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 A very nice addition to your collection, which is one of the most extensive that I have ever seen. Congrats on your new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post robbo Posted March 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2019 Latest arrival for the SAME collection, SAME Tiger Six 105 from an Italian model builder. I believe that it was made using the Artisan 32 SAME Buffalo kit. This the reason I bought the brochure a short time ago 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
