Border Fine Arts - Tractors, Horses and Lorries

Recommended Posts

Here's the one I bought. Came early this morning by courier and on getting it out of the packaging and the box and all the polystyrene I was surprised to see how big it actually is, bigger than it appears in the pictures I've seen in other places, it's actually almost a foot long and just over five inches high to the top of the horses ears. A quite heavy piece as well. Really glad I bought this one and at the price, a steal. Enjoy.

I've been looking at that one too Bill and it is a good price. Not into them too much but beginning to appreciate some of the animal studies although some are a lot better than others. Some of the 'garden bird' studies are very good and some on at very good prices as well but again it's a question of room and where do you stop? Was the 'Out To Pasture' from the same chap?

Well my first one arrived yesterday. Hope out to "Out to Pasture" arrives today.

Tim has shown the unboxed horse and roller so I thought I'll let you see how that are packaged.

Each model comes with a prepaid card inviting you to join the Border Fine Arts Society.

Just fill in the details and for £ 20 you could be a member. The annual members figurine could be worth more than that in years to come ;) ;)

Today I took delivery of another rather nice and inexpensive Border Fine Arts figurine for the grand sum of £ 33.75 including postage ;) ;)

The big box will be used tomorrow for kneeling down on the creosoted tractor shed floor ... I'll reuse before I burn off in the veggie patch along with wood offcuts from the shed which adds valuable potash to the soil ;) ;)

I would say the little horse is a Shetland pony and the bigger one is a Clydesdale ??? ???

I have no idea who was the maker of the horse plough or even the breed of the poultry ... however if JDC is reading this one he may get some input from TT ;D ;D

Buff Orpington I reckon for the chicken, Ransomes plough although it's a bit 'non-descript' and the little pony is a Shetland. Your pictures are better than those in the listings Bill and does it more justice. Will have to consider one for myself me thinks.

Last night I did a little rearranging in my five Border Fine Arts cabinets and was able to squeeze in "out to Pasture" in beside the large "Bringing in the Harvest". Then in the horsey cabinet I was able to fit in Lightly Rolled. I think all of my BFA''s are on display apart from three duplicates and the JCB one essential repairs. A trip to Ikea in Edinburgh with covered in trailer is a must to acquire some of those glass display cabinets Mike (aka Robbo) sent me.

Any Tim pictured his but here are pictures of my one showing some of the packing not yet removed.
