barney_leadhead Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Not sure if this is the correct place to put this, but a set up a little diorama on the table yesterday evening to get a few pics of some of my things. Some are old and some are new, none are borrowed and two are blue First up Siku Unimog bought at a toyfair on Sunday for the equivalent of £2.40. Like the other stuff I bought it was filthy but cleaned up a treat. Just needs a tailgate to complete. Not the best pic I'm afraid, appear to have focussed on the rear wheel area...indoor picture, failing light, camera batteries running out Another, farmer and lab are from my pre-collecting days, other stuff is all from my youth. MF seed drill came in the same lot so another £2.40. This really was dirty and although it's had a quick clean on the main surfaces I need to spend more time on the underparts.

barney_leadhead Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 My old MF 135... Matchstick tow pin Think I'll treat her to some repro bonnet stickers. 135 on the post hole digger from ebay, this one came in a small lot so works out around £1.60 inc postage. Think my original phd has 80p on the box Maybe a little heavy for the 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_leadhead Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Pigs must be hungry after 25 years in a box Saddlebacks enjoying a root round stack and parked machinery. Hay rake my original pre-collection so no box, spreader from ebay, bales £1.00 from toyfair, tyres from Shawnee Poole trailer. My original Ford 5000 on £2.40 trailer, cleaned up a treat, just needs tailgate, means I can keep my original 8 wheeler boxed. I'll get the Ford back out for some clearer shots sometime, it's all there just has rear wheel rot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_leadhead Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 My first new purchase was this NH TN75DA on a Howard Rotary - £2.40 from toyfair. Howard is all there but gears are rather worn, no problem as I'm probably past flailing prtend muck A blurry shot of my first ever Siku tractor.....nicely focussed on the seed drill though \ And finally for today a size comparison, between what I believe is my first tractor and my last....wow this newer stuff is big Hope you liked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 So much and heavy the shelf looks to be down in the middle ???... may be an optical illusion though. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
