Barry Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Lets see some more.......looks like theres room for another shelf in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 O.K chaps. Thanks for the comments, keep 'em coming. I will take some closer pics, shelf by shelf if I can. I can't realy put too much more in it as I don't know how much more weight the cupboard underneath can take. The rest of the collection is stacked up in boxes in a bedroom, just enough room to open the door but I will persevere over a period of time and post more pics, especialy of the more unusual items. Watch this space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 My wife just saw this picture and said "I bet he's not married!" "Or if he is not for long!" Don't think she's going to let MGU and I display ours somehow!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjd8530 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 very nice....whats that big SAME on the bottom left??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richo Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 A bit of a DB fan then!? I too have a soft spot for them, would love to see some closer pictures of them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Right, here goes, and be warned, there are 20 pics coming. No, I'm not married, dont get me wrong, I like women but I couldn't eat a whole one. That I think will do for now for you all to digest.

richo Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 A few questions for you... The yellow corgi 1210, I know of the white and green versions but yellow? Is it a conversion or was it produced? The Conrad and ertl equal wheel versions (can't remember the model numbers). How do they compare next to one another? Is the Conrad one noticably smaller as it 1/35?

powerrabbit Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 A few questions for you... The yellow corgi 1210, I know of the white and green versions but yellow? Is it a conversion or was it produced? The Conrad and ertl equal wheel versions (can't remember the model numbers). How do they compare next to one another? Is the Conrad one noticably smaller as it 1/35? Richo. The Corgi 1210 'highway' yellow one is a conversion, been stripped and re-painted with added front-wheel mudguards. The Conrad/NZG 4890 is 1/25th and is the rarer 1st edition, the Ertl 4890 is 1/32nd, again thisis a rarer 1st edition. Put both side-by-side and the NZG is very slightly physicaly smaller but much better detail. The one to the right of these two is an Ertl 4894 equal wheel in the black and white 'magpie' livery. Hope that answers your q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richo Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I really only collect 1/32 models but think the detail on the Conrad is so much better. Not sure how out of place it would look, what would you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Wow......That is some collection you have mate......Look forward to the rest of the pics, especially more rare itmes...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how out of place it would look, what would you say? Don't know Richo really, trouble is, theres so much in so many scales that if you were like me and collected everything it would be best to have a cabinet for each scale, problem is, space, mine is a mix of everything in together.

FW Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Wow! Love the DBs'. Is the Cropmaster a conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 very nice....whats that big SAME on the bottom left??? The big 'Same' is a 1/20th Kubota M type by Yonezawa of Japan (Diapet). Opening cab doors, pull forward the top of the bonnet nose and the side panels fold down to reveal engine detail. Another boxed toy fair find 3 years ago, paid ?12 for it.

powerrabbit Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Wow! Love the DBs'. Is the Cropmaster a conversion? There are 3 there, the side-on veiw one is a 1/43rd Langley Models but it is not realy a Croppy as they call it it's a VAK1A. The one behind the 880 on the lorry is a 1/32nd Brian Norman Croppy and the one front on behind the 1200 is a 1/43 1949 Croppy Diesel in the 'Hachette' series, this one is made by Universal Hobbies in resin and the detail on it, despite the size, is as good as their 1/16th stuff. The 3 'tugs' behind that one I had made for me, you will see that one is in RAF livery, one in RN and the yellow one is civilian airport tug all in the military scale. Saw the RAF one being displayed pulling a bomb trolley diorama at a WW11 exhibition and got talking to the guy about them and he said that he could build me them in whatever form the real ones were produced so I ordered the other 2. The guy is somewhere in Kent, details escape me at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a few 1:1 scale ones, with my favourite being a 996 with a loader (Well really my Grandads, but is really a gorgeous girl), but also have a Cropmaster and had an 885 with a loader, but sold that in the summer of '05 to put towards a Farmall with my Dad, but we can never agree on anything and keep changing our minds, so still no further foward really.

Iv'e got 21 1:1 D.B's, in various states from fully restored to scrap plus about 10 tons of parts, shall never get 'round to restoring all of them, ought to take some pics and advertise most of them, some hav'nt been run up for 5 or 6 years.
