powerrabbit Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I find that the best way of dusting these are with a long bristled soft pastry brush, reasonably thin one so you can get in all the little crevices and to dust them off regularly.

craigy69 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 WOW mayb 1 day i might be able to afford one of these Border fine arts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Some of the smaller ones are in fact reasonably priced for the level of detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 A lot of the smaller 'studies' of the animals and birds are very good and at good prices. The tractor studies however are expensive and although sales are held of discontinued and secondhand ones, you see very few come up, especially down this part of the country. I very often trawl through the listings for BFA on eBay just to see what the prices are, nice to compare to the catalogues and leaflet prices that BFA, or I should say Gray's, list them at. Same as any other field of collecting though, a minefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 There is a sale up my way this coming Saturday but I'm not going in preference to a vintage sale at Forfar. There will be a priced cat on their net after the sale. In fact I'm sure there will be a priced one from last year on there too. http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=23174.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 I attach the link to the priced BFA catalogue for the sale that was held at Thainstone Mart Inverurie on August this year. The recession seems to be hitting prices are well down. http://www.goanm.co.uk/tsa/otherauctions/borderfineart.html I see Major Decision is still keeping up and made £ 1,200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 thanks everyone for sharing all this information on BFA and the pictures. love these figurines, too bad they are so highly priced or they would surely be in my collection right now.. i think the Country Artists figurines are a bit better priced though for any collector. BC.. that must be a fortune you have there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Border Fine Arts have recently bought over Country Artists and that is why they have now been able to acquire the licence to produce John Deere models and hence the one above "Greasing the wheels" As for a fortune well I hope so in the future..... I see it as an additional pension fund ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Well last night I got round to unpacking two of my latest Border Fine Arts figurines which I collected on tuesday.

BC Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 The Dexta RRP is £ 165 but I get mine with 10% discount so it was £ 148.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Very nice Bill, may i ask how much the jd was, would love one of those, but doubt i could afford it. Thanks Ad It retails at £ 495 Adam but I get 10% off so it was £445.50. There is a free to enter competiotion to win one of these in the Classic Tractor magazine so you could try that. They are wanting suggestions or tractors to make in the future so why not suugest your new County and send a picture in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
