Quote - > Quote - I own about 50 sheep, but they are only about 10 mm high and made of plastic, so I am hoping they don't pose a significant threat.
Britains comes to mind.....most excellent!!!......please tell me they are Britains!
Sadly not Britains as they would be a bit overscale for my railway models, but I agree the Britains farm models are really nice. I do have a couple of Britains trees somewhere though.
Some of my sheep are from the old Airfix Farm Stock sets. When i was a lad these sets sold for two shillings each ( 10p in decimal ) down at the local newsagent. These days I have seen the same sets sell for as much as £40 on Ebay !! mine long since were pulled of their sprues and painted, and the boxes are long gone. I buy models to use them, not to keep them pristine in their original packaging. Kind of like James May, but on about 1% of his budget. lol.
