anyone or should I say how many of you're into models?

[GazCro]

No way our kids would have that stuff...not realistic enough valid point tho

My thoughts exactly when i saw it for the first time. But youngest nephew now just turned 3 has seen off nearly all the bruder and the pintoy keeps going and it goes everywhere with him.

Get him some Bruder . Surprisingly tough for just plastic. Great for outdoor mud patches

I got my lad a Bruder skid steer and D6K. He used the K so much on the veg patch that the bottom of the blade wore through.

some of the plant I use to drive back in the day Like the D9G ,got another couple of shelves of models

The bigger scale,HD41,Deere 650 and TD 25.the detail on theses is amazing.the Allis was £140 in 2007

Model railway in my case. I’ve been collecting bits for 45 years and last year finally got started on building it up.

My lad had all the bruder stuff was crazy every birthday or Xmas his collection grew but so big to store sadly all been given away now have to get a few for my little girl. Still got my joals but my scraper broke on the neck and not sure where my clam shell crane is

Bruder stuff is good but goes brittle after a while especially if left out in the sun

Lads 14 now and into skateboarding and girls lol

Love the pit shoring - that’s attention to detail.

 

[Gunners]

Sold all my Britain's collection for good money and used it to buy my Massey 240 to do some real play farming!
Still got a few Joal models around, some of which are on my desk here but I try to buy real toys now - these models are getting expensive enough as it is.

I remember discovering Joal models existed when I was about 10 in Spain. My mum probably had to suffer me non stop talking about it for the next few weeks until I could afford to buy the 4cx - as some of you will know, I have a soft spot for a JCB backhoe. One day I might own a real one of those too

I used to think that one of the few advantages of getting older was that I’d get respect from the younger generation. Gra, how do you cope? You’ve had more experience.

I'm probably not far behind

Only ones I have on show now, 4CX was my favourite from when I was a kid. The proper metal joal stuff is probably in boxes the loft somewhere. Now I just want the real things!

 

[Vinpetrol]

I like Joal best.

I love that Ackerman duck , a mate of mine just up the road still has 2 of them that he goes out on hire with, I borrowed a bucket of him the other day and he was saying one of them has done 36K hours

 

[DaveDCB]

Nah, I only have afew oddments, mostly freebees , a CCM D11 which is nice, but no longer allowed out on display so it’s just boxed away.

 

[Vinpetrol]

I had a few in the past I was proud of . I had an ex 200 hitachi and a liebherr duck that I liked, I used to try and get models of ones I’d driven . It was going well til my daughter was born . They needed a good fitter after she’d found them

The plan is to pair it up with this dump truck
in a recovery diorama scene
