Plastic Farm Collection - New additions 4-AUG-2022

Very nice photos , great collection.

Thanks for the photo of the palomino hunter horse with rider. It's now on TAW

So many beautiful figures, with quite a few rare ones too. Some of the highlights for me: I see that you have all the Herefords in their most beautiful painting style (on the left in the photos). Of the top of my head (I don't have my catalogues here), they are from the Rosette Range, I think around 1992-96. I am still hoping to find the bull in this style. The black bull is quite rare too. And all models in this photo:

The bull is rare (and very beautiful), but particularly the stencil-painted, very early Herald cow and calf. Very special!

Would you mind taking a photo of just the bull, then I can add it to TAW too. Thanks!

Yes I think it was called the Rosette Range, I picked them up when I was in the UK in 1993. The brown and white bull is already on TAW, you used the photo I posted at the very beginning of this thread :)

Ah, yes, you are right. Sometimes I don't know what I am doing .

You did well to buy the Herefords when they were readily available!

When I see the Britains Farm page, I am sure about what you are doing. It was almost nothing not long ago and now it is one of the best pages on TAW.

Had I known what they were back them I would have picked up quite a few more! along with the others in the range.

Absolutely delightful collection. There really are some elegant sculpts, and all of them have a a very grounded realism to them. I love the sheep and the cattle sculpts especially, I think, though the very tiny rabbits are amazing!! And the one angry goose. I also have never really thought much about little plastic human figures, but these are quite nice and unique with character in their own right. They could easily have names and stories with them.

I feel a real kinship with this man on many days at work.

If only the could talk! the stories they could tell I am sure. As a lot are mine from my childhood perhaps it is best that they can't

Thank you :)

Finding more pieces as a sift through some boxes. This is 9499 Tumbrel cart and Clydesdale with a brown horse, I think most were white.

Very beautiful! These kind of carts or similar are a landmark of my homeland. Maybe smaller ones because they're pulled by mules and donkeys.

A few additions arrived today thanks to (UK) Roger.

These two are my favourites of the bunch though :)

Forgot I had these, part of the Mini series - 1:43 scale. The lamb is tiny but the horse would work as a small pony in 1:32

Very beautiful, UK Roger is a perfect partner for you. I love your models and pictures. About the 1:43 horses, they can also be used asminiature horse breeds and eventually they're not small enough to do it.

Thank you Roger.

Great to see that you found a rider, saddle and reins for the white hunter horse.

I've got the 1:43 scale horse too; I need to promote it to my 1:32 scale collection.

Congratulations

Thanks Roger, for this shot I just used the same rider and saddle :). and again thanks for your help.

Ah, yes, I see now, I hope you'll find another rider.

Wonderful additions!!!!

The Tumbrel cart looks great with the bay Clydesdale,I just have the one with the grey Clydesdale.
