Janval Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Haven't been very active this summer, but I've been busy buying - Too much buying really so it might be a really long pause coming up for me! I've recently bought a variety of plasticard and some tools, I've gotten into building som prototypes - will post pictures in the correct area sometime! I'm not sure which purchases I announced the last time, but since the Marge Ford 8830 I've also gotten the Marge TW25 and TW35 - Should've gotten one of them as gen 1, but didn't think it through so both are gen 2. I've also bought a Schuco Holder ed II, Replicagri Renault 120 baler, Renault 751 2wd, Renault 133-14 TX (the three replicagri ones came from Hong Kong - so they were pretty cheap and flawless). Weise MB Trac 1500, UH MF TO 35 57', MF 35 59' and the MF 35 Special (The three MF's also from Hong Kong at a fairly decent price). Recently i picked up the MF FF30 as well from ebay. I've been looking for more of the old MF's, but I guess some of them are hard to come by now. At least when I'm not prepared to get them for a full price. AND from a Norwegian retailer (a branch from farmmodels.nl) I put in a quite large order at full retail price But I wanted to get a hold of some models: Ros Fiat Winner F130, Deutz D52.06 (with the wheels airbrushed red), Deutz Agrostar DX6.31, Deutz Agrostar 6.38 and the Deutz D80.06 (light green) - I haven't gotten these yet, but I'm looking forward to it - Until the missus finds out that is! I've also gotten some cabinets! I will post photos in the "my collection" post Yikes, I'm getting kind of freaked out about how much money I've spent now, BUT I hope that I'll manage to lay it off and focus on making my own implements and stuff from now on. EDIT: I completely forgot about the Marge Vicon Acrobat that I also recently ordered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have had a Siku MF 8680 - usual solid fare from Siku which will hopefully benefit from a few details and a bit of paint. Also had a UH MF 7726 - what a stunning model, and seems very heavy too. Just need to reduce the wheel weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look a good model, hopefully get them opened tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 the standard wheat header will fit on the maze trolly no problem, and they are cheap enough for the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 My latest purchase arrived today, that was going to be it until Penrith in November, trouble is I quite fancy a couple of Welly Scania's now. I'm blaming Mad Mark for that! Like the Big Bud Mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janval Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Purchased a Britains Volvo last night, as well as a load of different parts. Got a pretty neat deal for five sets of fendt/weise wheels for approximately 13-15 pounds. Got big plans for that Volvo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Unfortunately, when i unpacked the Hardi sprayer it turned out to have had damp damage so the joints were all rusted. So have sent it back and have decided to stick with Berthoud sprayer and therefore exchanged the Hardi for a two nice little implements: an Agrisem Cultiplow 52 and Razol roller. Also included a photo of the wonderful UH MF 7726 and the Siku 8680 which has had the customary wheel hub treatment. I hope to bring news of another purchase soon, and will be having a clear out of a few more surplus britains/siku before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I should have got these two a long time ago...UH McCormick CX105 and Replicagri X60.50. Both are very good models. I did buy an MF telehandler this week but i think that and the MF 7726 plus the Siku Manitou will go on ebay over the weekend. Will try and stick to one make especially as space is tight right now (and have far too many forklifts as it is!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
