Callum’s collection

[CallumC]

Finally managed to get a fue pics of most of my collection that had been stored in a cupboard at my parents.  Started to get things packed up to move to my own house where I’ve boxed in the loft to make a model room.   I do have more bits and a good bit of unboxed Britain’s but I’ll get those pictures sorted when I move them into the loft. hope you like the pics

Very nice collection you gave there Callum. Your taste in collecting is very similar to my own.  Some vintage Britains and some modern classics off all varieties. 😄

Thanks    I’ve a good bit of unboxed Britain’s but wanted to get all the stuff that I had as a child or wanted but never had in boxes    50% of it is from my child hood collection tho I always kept the boxes and looked after things   

Yea I’m not exactly brand loyal but do like john Deere ford and Massey

Lovely collection Callum.

Starting to get things moved into my loft at home   Have half the shelves up now just trying to decide how I will make the most of the remaining space 

the lorry drivers been busy this last fue weeks carting stuff home

Had a bit of a father ted. Small......far away moment  last weekend 

[CallumC]

Bought these sheds in a job lot from eBay and gave them a fresh coat of white paint.  I think they’ve come up nice. Will hopefully do my son when he’s a bit older 

[CallumC]

Started to get things set out on display  will take a while before I have everything where I want it and I’m planing on making some field displays for some of the shelves

Thanks.  Need to get everything a bit more organised before I post more pics 

[trigger82]

Wow that fantastic display 

[CallumC]

Landed in the loft again

its not ideal having to work between the roof trusses but it is what it is 

Ive found it hard to decide what stays in boxes and what doesn’t.  The space just isn’t ideal but I’ve tried to make the most of it 

this little display was just a quick test of some ballast I bought and makes a good home for some of my original (and favourite Britain’s models)  

Some of my unboxed implements 

I’m not happy with how things are set out at all but it’s a starting point   

 

[CallumC]

I’ve had a bit of a re shuffle around in the loft and I’m a bit More happy with things now     

Im just delighted to have everything out and not stuck away in cupboards 

[trigger82]

That fantastic looking display now 👌

[smithy]

That looks smart you have put a lot of work into that thanks for showing 

[jmd]

nice collection and nicely displayed 👍

[CallumC]

Thought I would put some pics together just to show the way I’ve used the space.     The bigger shelf with all the silage gear etc on is removable to get into the boxes underneath and behind etc.  I plan on making field dioramas for that areas.   Down the opposite side is space for displays  and then the shelf underneath.  I will make another section of removable shelfs like the opposite side for that aswell  the shelf’s also hide the boxes that look messy. 

the trusses and angle of the roof does hinder what you can do but I’ve done what myself and dad thought would be best use of space to make it still display nicely.

 It wasn’t a bad job to put it all together and in the grand scheme of things only cost me paint and I think I was 10 or 12 sheets of ply.  I had the carpet and the floor boards. 

I need to add more lights that are not natural and spread out better so any pointers would be nice 

Cheers

I also started roughly setting out one of the displays that will be only Britain’s sheds and accessories. I’ll mark it all up and set out grass etc

Some other bits of my collection around the house.  First is a model of a friends 35x with Duncan cab  a 6300  (spent a lot of time with one at the dealership I worked for) and a vicon spreader as this was the first real implement I bought 

[CallumC]

Then I have a fantastic picture by Steven binks   Of a Ford FW-60 ploughing outside boreham house.   I’ve always loved the fw range after seeing an excellent picture of one in classic tractor when I was younger  this has snuck into the sitting room. Not sure what my fiancées thinks of it but I like it haha
